Barring Major injury, Houston going to the finals.

[who_better_than_me]

The point is they won't be able to maintain that pace consistently in the playoffs. Everyone knows the game slows down.

U act like we only thrive in the fast pace tempo. We're a good half court offensive team. I dunno where ur getting this idea that we re some limited one trick pony type squad but you've been gravely misinformed

 

[who_better_than_me]

You already had a major injury--isn't Patrick Beverly out for the playoffs?

Beverley been back an couple games now.

Then their points allowed will drop as well....that's how pace works.

No shyt. But they will be out of their element and forced to play more half court sets and won't be as effective. We've already seen this with the D'antoni Suns, Nelson Mavericks, etc.

SMH @ using still using "points allowed" in 2014

Okay statboy, how many teams in the last 30 or so years that were ranked 23rd or lower in points allowed made the finals?

No mention of Mr. Whitefolks?

at houston making to the finals. they'll be lucky to get out of the second round

 

[god shamgod]

Houston won't get out the 2nd round.

 

[IGSaint12]

Houston has the best SG in the league and best C in the league. Sounds like Shaq and Kobe. Houston has the worser coach but i like houstons role players better. no excuses

Houston does have the best sg and c in the league but they are not a shaq and kobe. They are fools gold and houston fans are gonna learn that.

 

[954UAlreadyknow]

Are they going to learn how to play defense overnight? No.

close thread

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

They're my dark horse

 

[Dusty Bake Activate]

Excellent team defense on display by Houston. 122 points given up...Aldridge with 46...Lillard with 31.
