For a team like HOU that focuses on efficiency, how is it possible that they keep allowing him to chuck aimlessly night after night. How did he get THIS bad? He is a combined 14-57 the last two games, including 1-12 from 3. Why hasn't Coach Dan given him the bright red light - at least from 3? He should focus on D, pushing the ball on the break, penetrating into the lane to distribute or finish at the rim. This can't be in any model that Morey has cooked up, right?
And those are all wide open looks, because teams play off of him to they point that they're begging him to take the long jumper. And that's just going to continue in the playoffs when they double Harden, crowd around the rim and let Westbrook shoot the Rockets out of the game. And unlike someone like Ben Simmons, Westbrooks ego will step right into the bear trap. It worked tonight, but let's see a 7 game series.
I think Toronto is still getting used to Lowry being back. In the long run they probably need Lowry, but in the short term they really had a good thing going with VanVleet running the offense.

I don't think it worked. Perhaps it was bad luck, because someone like McLemore made 8 threes. Harden scored "only" 23, but he was super efficient. He was actually the player he should be, not the 50 shots per night stat pad.
It was bad luck. Toronto couldn't make the shots, they normally do, and they turned it over. They took the ball out of Harden's hands. In most cases, that strategy works, because you decrease Harden's trips to the line, and his fga. But on this night, McLemore and House made them pay for those double teams. That's not going to always be the case.

It worked. Tor shot poorly, turned the ball over too much, gave up too many second chance points on offensive rebounds etc. They lost that game far more than Houston won it.
2 wins versus the mighty Mavs could not save him? Probably the folks above him need to go as well.
Reliable sources now say that Fizdale was a primadonna who demanded a trade and threatened to spend the rest of the season in Europe. NY felt they had no choice but to fire him immediately, and people in the know believe that there's no way they make this move unless they know Pop and Carlisle are already in the bag this summer. The Knicks are thrilled with the move and look forward to using the extra money to build a coaching superteam for the ages.
Time to make DSj a player/coach.
Let the David Fizdale venom spewed out of NY begin...and the gullible residents believe it and boo him when he returns!

OMG
Scene setter Thunder/Wolves
4th qtr 1.1 secs Thunder down 2. Foul Towns should be game over:
1. He misses FT 1
2. Delay of game tech on Wolves
3. Gallo makes tech now Wolves by 1
4. All Towns has to do is miss Thunder no Timeouts
5. Hits rim bounces up and in now Wolves up 2.
6. Adams throws a full court hail mary to Dennis
7. Dennis catches in stride and scores layup now tied
&. Review verifies it was good
Video of Adams pass (NFL needs to come calling lol)

Would be cool to see Luka win the MVP but I think it has to be Giannis if they keep winning like this. Not a great roster at all
Thunder outscore Wolves in OT 17-5 and win 139-127
What a game (for a tank team anyways, wins are hard to come by). It was not that we won it was the way we won. Instant classic for a tank team.

Time to make that trade for a halfway decent SF.
Get one of those and you guys are in the playoffs
I don’t agree with this but the delay of game was from untucted shirt lol. Chris Paul snitched lol. Wow, never ever heard of that rule. That tech FT allowed us to only be down 2 vs 3 for the Adams Hail Mary pass:
