They probably bought into the offseason "they took Miami to 7 games and got so much better" hype. People glossed over the fact that Bosh barely played in that series and their improvements were overstated.
Unexpected? Despite "upgrading" James Harden with a first ballot hall-of-famer this new Thunder squad is full of shit. And without Boston's excuse of turning over half the roster, since all they've done is replace "an overrated chucker" with the "best third option in the NBA!".
My god, people call the Heat TV guys homers, but I haven't seen the Boston or LA announcers not complain about a call that goes against their team tonight. Just gets annoying. That Jeff Green charge was pretty blatant.
Because the Terry/Barbosa combo has struggled on the floor together, so Lee/Barbosa allows Barbosa to hold the ball as is his wont. Don't worry, there will be another 849 starting lineups before the regular season's over.
Bell was done when the bobcats dumped him. How long has that been? He could only guard the most slow footed players back then and wasn't good for anything else. He has been past done with the Jazz. Of course he's old and he's a huge asshole, so he should fit right in.
That the Lakers lost in Memphis on Friday isn’t that surprising. The Grizzlies are a great team. That L.A. is now 1-2 under Mike D’Antoni isn’t that alarming. It’s a long season and they’re still missing Steve Nash.
But what’s up with Pau Gasol not playing at all in the fourth quarter?
“I was thinking, ‘Well, I’d like to win this game,’” D’Antoni said afterward.
