    Don't make me list the ways in which the turnover stat is lacking. There needs to be a loss of possession stat. And an Almost LOP stat.

    If it causes him to miss or lose the possession or almost do so, if it's a pattern for him.

    remind me again what Houston was thinking when they traded Chris Paul for Westbrook....?

    If Houston had CP3 tonight, they very well could have won.

    Houston doesn’t believe in continuity, if it doesn’t work in 2-3 years they change the team. It’s worked for them as they’ve been in deep playoff runs but they can never finish the job, usually no chemistry.

    Haven't had a chance to read the entire thread, so maybe this has already been covered...

    Is Nurk collapsing to the floor on purpose has to not put a ton of pressure on his leg? Seems like he went down unnecessarily a few times, not related to his usual getting hit int he beak or mid-section.

    If a team was ran by a message board, this is how it would be! Actually 2-3 months would probably be all it took for sweeping changes!

    It’s got to be scary for him when he dunks and lands on one leg. I think he’ll get used to it.

    These games are playoff-quality, much better than the usual end-of-regular-season tanking/vacations that some teams always take. This time there are no slacker teams.

    Usually I miss a few, but this time our games are so entertaining, that I'm just as intense about not missing one game, as the team is intense when they play.

    did notice that. After that dunk, got hit, and he seemed to do a parachute fall. As not to jam that leg into the ground.

    It must be that unpronouncable foreign name that no one has ever heard before.

    I watched him in shootaround on the court last year and it was so clear he was gonna be legit - just a matter of how long.

    Because we wanted to keep Trent and trade Simons?

    Whatever it is, Simons is trash and GTJ is the real deal. I don’t understand how they confused the two

    I mean, every player in the 2nd round that does anything of importance is luck. It's a crapshoot then.
