Tied for 3rd in the west!

Woooohoooooo!


Call me an optimist

Pels to the finals

Book it.

Can we talk about how the Rockets had 21 more fta than the Bucks and still lost? They are going to be so annoying to watch this season. Harden and Westbrick, same record as us.

Houston is not going to go well if they continue to lose and Golden State is bad. If we could just figure out the whole rotation thingy, we would have a good shot at the 8th seed.

Obviously we'll see if they improve together, but most of us (I think you as well) doubted that they'd work well together in terms of actual winning.

Pretty statlines and not much else.

What is up with the free throw attempts in the NBA? Just from the first few games it seems that teams are treated differently:

Clippers 30, Warriors 30, Ratio 1.0
Lakers 21, Clippers 24, Ratio 1.1
Celtics 34, 76ers 36, Ratio 1.1
Trail Blazers 23, Nuggets 27, Ratio 1.2

Bucks 18, Rockets 39, Ratio 2.2
Pelicans 20, Raptors 38, Ratio 1.9

When the Rockets or Raptors play the Warriors or the Clippers does the ratio go near 1?
When we play the Warriors or the Clippers will the ratio go to 2?

Pathetic.

The Spurs got 36 v 18 ft against the Knicks the other night too.
Thunder got 31 v 20 against Denver.

This is something that will have to be watched as the season goes on. That's determining a lot of games based off fta.

If anyone is interested in the 2 minute report from the Pels Raptors.

The just is two calls were missed in the last 2 minutes of the game. Both would have helped the Pelicans if called.

Also interesting to note how it changes once Zion comes back. Dude was a foul magnet in preseason.
