5-1.So given the choice between a 5 and 1 road trip and losing to Lakers, or this ... which do you choose?
I haven't checked the schedule, but I have to imagine that will be the toughest road trip of the year, based on length and strength of competition, etc.Going 4 - 2 on a brutal road trip without Horford and Rob is impressive.
I would prefer to beat Frisco.So given the choice between a 5 and 1 road trip and losing to Lakers, or this ... which do you choose?
Coming from you Mr Cranky Pants is something! I kidGoing 4 - 2 on a brutal road trip without Horford and Rob is impressive.
I can see your point, but the longevity of my Laker Hatred still exceeds the current bothersomeness of the WarriorsI would prefer to beat Frisco.
uh, yeah, i'd have rather beaten GSW and LAC, they're the better teams.So given the choice between a 5 and 1 road trip and losing to Lakers, or this ... which do you choose?
mostly gassed.... but a 7'2" tree was playing off Westbrook and standing by the lane to challenge BronWhy didn’t LeBron freight train to the rim on the last possession of regulation? Could either dish to a wide open Reaves or probably get fouled.
He’s almost 38 years old and was approaching 40 minutes played with a frenetic final 4 minutes to cap it off. Dude was tired. Didn’t help that the lane was clogged.Why didn’t LeBron freight train to the rim on the last possession of regulation? Could either dish to a wide open Reaves or probably get fouled.
Their last few possessions were weird. Felt James kind of settled for the long jumper up 5 with a minute left.Why didn’t LeBron freight train to the rim on the last possession of regulation? Could either dish to a wide open Reaves or probably get fouled.
Yeah the celts were set and Lebron had move for his own shot or pass along the perimeter and be a bystander. His only options.7'2" tree was playing off Westbrook and standing by the lane to challenge Bron
And it still took the inbound bucket by Marcus and AD choking two free throws.If the team doesn't have a collective aneurysm halfway through the 3rd quarter and completely change the way they were playing, we win this by 25.
I'll choose to focus on the comeback and absolute lockdown final 4 minutes in crunch time (plus the OT). That was a big neon sign saying "just remember, we can flip a switch and own you, anytime we want".
Your second graph is kinda the whole point of the NBA these days.If the team doesn't have a collective aneurysm halfway through the 3rd quarter and completely change the way they were playing, we win this by 25.

The Davis misses were big. They worked clock and drew a foul.And it still took the inbound bucket by Marcus and AD choking two free throws.
And I could fire back about the refs and the free throws, or missing our bigs. If you want to complain that nothing's perfect, you'll never be happy. Being happy is nice.And it still took the inbound bucket by Marcus and AD choking two free throws.
Ha! This was actually the first game of the roadtrip I was down on them. It was actually more Mazz tonight than the players. In the grand scheme of things losing to west coast teams doesn't matter but f the Lakers.Coming from you Mr Cranky Pants is something! I kid

5-1.
Do rivalries mean nothing now?I would prefer to beat Frisco.
I wonder, if any team has won an NBA game where they allowed the equivalent of a 47-14 run. Gotta be on one hand.Celts had a 94% win probability with 1:17 left in the 3rd quarter (up 88-74). Lakers at 99.6% with 3:52 in the 4th (106-93). 4th biggest comeback in the NBA this season.
Lakers went up 4 in OT on a Westbrook steal and layup and then a 4' bank shot, getting them back up to 75% win prob. Then they went: Westbrook 15' pullup (miss), James 3 PT (miss), Westbrook 3 PT (miss), Westbrook 3 PT (miss), Davis 3 PT (miss), at which point the C's went up 8 on the Jaylen 3.
Tatum played 16% more minutes than his season average; Brown played 25% more. LBJ played 19% more, Westbrook 24%, Davis played 40% more minutes than his season average. And Reggie talking the whole OT about how Anthony's about to fall over.
Great question, and you're probably right. Timberwolves went on a 40-15 run before losing in OT to Memphis last year.. that's the closest I could find eyeballing the top comebacks for games with really steep slopes on both ends of the game for the past few years.I wonder, if any team has won an NBA game where they allowed the equivalent of a 47-14 run.

I pulled out my earbuds so I wouldn’t have to listen to Kevin Harlan. If they can make a camera that can remove someone from a picture, why can’t they make something that removes Kevin Harlan’s voice from broadcasts? Him and Mark Jackson. Oh, and the guy with the trumpet at France’s World Cup games.I feel bad for the people who turned this game off and missed them getting their shit together in the absolute nick of time.
*whispers* I was almost one of them...
Oh, so you missed this fucking idiot scream after the Grant 3 in OT to put good guys ahead 115-114I pulled out my earbuds so I wouldn’t have to listen to Kevin Harlan.

Can't look it up now but this is at least the fourth LA B2B this season and in each case the Lakers game was the second game. So no those assholes get every break from the league as always.Love the excuses for LA's schedule. We're the team still on the road trip and on a B2B.
It was the worst of times, it was the best of times.Looks like I missed a helluva 4th qtr. Damn west coast games. I went to bed semi-annoyed they were letting the Flakers hang around. I may have to watch the 4Q for a shot of schadenfeude later today.
