OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: ORLANDO @ HOUSTON

[Fultz4thewin 2,464]

I have faith in Oladipo because I see some Westbrook in him. He's one of those "deal with his 10% flaws for the 90% good things he does on the court" type players.

 

People have been ****ting on Westbrook for years until inexplicably the narrative changed course on him when Durant was out.

 

You guys would have hated Westbrook.

Good game. Shame we didn't pull out the win but a more than valiant effort by all. This team is night and day compared to last season and it has barely begun.

 

Couple thoughts:

 

1.Why was CJ not in for the last seconds and Napier was?

 

2. Shame we couldn't of had more AG on Harden instead of Evan in OT but is what it is.

 

3. Harden went to the line 17 times he made 14. Some dodgy calls if you ask me. Superstar calls i guess

 

4. Lastly and most importantly we all better hope and pray that th Vucevic injury is not at all serious because without the big man it will be waaaaay to much right now.

Reporter: How do you build off a night like tonight?

 

Skiles: I’m curious to how much the previous coach answered that question in 3 years.

 

LOL

‏@JoshuaBRobbins Nik Vucevic will have his knee re-evaluated tomorrow, likely with an MRI. But Vooch sounds optimistic the injury isn't serious.

 

Vucevic said an initial evaluation by a doctor after the injury showed the strength in the knee was good. Again, he'll be re-evaluated.

We play the unbeaten Raptors next who are 5-0 after just beating OKC in Oklahoma.

For the record I like the Payton-Oladipo backcourt. If either guy is being exploited in a game we have capable fill ins now.

We have had the toughest first 6 games to start the season of any team in the entire NBA and we could and maybe even should be 4-1 or worse case 3-2.

 

The league is all about fine margins man...Seriously its crazy.

 

On to the next game. Let's go!
