The Thunder played like a team coming off a 3 game road trip, and playing the 8th game in 12 days, and yet KD was just too damn good to let them lose. I even think they were looking ahead to Miami as well.

Not only is he scoring at an incredible pace, he is threatening back to back 50/40/90 seasons. FT% needs to come up from 88.3.

I hope you win, but how could you trust the Knicks moneyline especially laying. I can see taking a dog moneyline.
As for Golden St, they are about to go on another good run. Good call there.
If I was forced to play a game tonight I would take Houston moneyline plus 120. I would also take Clevland minus 2.5 minus basic 110, I would play them both straight w/ Houston being the larger play.

Kind of hilarious watching the Rockets miss all these hack-a-xxx free throws.

Still about to pull out a good win without there best player.
Big game tomorrow night, who you got? Miami is minus 4. I think Lebron and Miami make a big statement. Lebron especially has done a lot of talking latley. About a week ago he said to watch him vs Washington and promised to go off. He did not do much and they lost as a 10 point favorite. Then he talks about how KD gets more shots then him, then today I read he is requesting a sit down with the new NBA commissioner. And back too a few weeks ago, he was saying how Wades knees are a big issue. Felt to me like a built in excuse. I know its a regular season, but I feel like its a big game for Miami.

So I was watching some college games tonight.

McDermott from Creighton can shoot. He will be an effective player with the right team.
Calipari's teams always look poorly coached. Poor defensive fundamentals and not a whole lot of effort.

I think Wade is the 3rd best 2 guard of all time.
I also think he could have gone to Europe and had a Kobe style procedure on his knees two summers ago. The thing is this, the Wade of even last years playoffs is still a top 3 2 guard in the NBA right now. But how often do we get that Wade? If he is milking it now and will be fine for the playoffs Im good with that. But recent Lebron comments makes me wonder if he is not more injured then even teamates believed. I would rate the 2's like this. And Im talking right now today. Harden, Wade, Kobe. Thats assuming Curry and Westbrook are 1's, even though they are the definition of combo guards.

It was a good win for the Rockets without Harden, but the Spurs are not near the same team without Kawhi Leonard.

No lose situation for OKC. It doesn't mean much if they lose without Westbrook, but if they win it would be nice of course. They have played so well lately I don't think a loss would bother them much.

One thing is clear, the gap between the best two players in the world has narrowed considerably.

Between the 3:00 mark of the 3rd and the end of the period, Howard went 10-14 and the Rockets extended a 2-pt lead to 8 at the end of the quarter.

I didn't watch until the 4th. Seemed like it at least got them back in the game. Jones looked worse than Howard on the line.

I just don't know what to think of the Spurs. Every time I watch this year, they don't look very good. But they sure beat up on the bad teams.

Jones has been a pleasant surprise, but he is a disaster at the line. Howard, of course, missed two FTs inside the final minute that would have gone a long way towards putting the game away. In fairness, you could tell he was exhausted given the extended minutes and 9 intentional fouls.

I don't understand the Spurs either. Their first two losses to the Rockets were in the Rockets' type of game. Last night's was uglier. They were horrible in the 2nd half of their last game against the Thunder, and the same is true of Sunday's Heat game. I want to think they're over the top, but I fear they'll get their act together when it matters.

That being said, I don't think under any circumstances will they win a 7 game series with OKC.

Super impressed with OKC. I mean I believe Miami will eventually turn it on, but ****. You would think that they should have been able to turn it on for tonights game though.
