The NBA is cool and good.

Correct

The West is cool, the 1 and 7 seeds are pretty much set and only 2 games in the loss column separate 2 from 6. This week is going to be awesome

Rockets have a pretty rough finish to the season. Spurs, Spurs, Pelicans, Hornets, Jazz. Hopefully they won't drop to 6. At least they get the Spurs on a back to back for that first game

e: If the Rox win out they tie their franchise best record, though I don't consider that particularly likely. Still, crazy considering all the injuries they had this season

On second thought I hope that Josh Smith is playoffs MVP and gets a huge contract, so that Detroit doesn't have to pay him

I hope Josh signs a 4 year deal with Houston for the minimum then grabs his dick in Detroit's general direction

The Rockets starters have only played 2 games together all season but some posters will happily inform you that this hasn't negatively affected them at all and they're just bad and overrated

e: I'm dumb, looked at the graph axis but it's really just a 10 year span

That graph is a little off though. It counts when the Wild came to Minneapolis as them being a 4 sport city, but doesn't count when the North Stars were there, during which time the Twins won two titles

e2: Ok one title since the Timberwolves started in 1989

McHale, like most coaches, is good when you give him good players. I lost a lot of faith in him when the Spurs were hacking Josh Smith for 10 straight minutes and he didn't get him out of the game though

Spurs beat the Rockets by 8* pythag wins and didn't win the division. I suppose Rockets fans would rather be lucky than good but god dammit that's a huge spread.

*subject to going to 6, will probably end at 7.

Not even close. Houston's owner is probably worse.


Agreed. If you need to know why, look at the Mavs before Cuban bought them.

If anyone was wondering, Parsons was able to do some 1 on 1 work today but is still listed as questionable. Devin Harris was downgraded to questionable today.

Dwight on Parsons “He's the enemy.”

At least Rockets fans get to learn Jason Terry is cool this year. I'll probably think differently once the series starts.

JET is cool with me until the moment the season ends, then even if he drills a game 7 buzzer beater three to win the title by a point I will still hate him again
