Doc Rivers has been named Coach of the Month He deserves it too folks Do you have much more expectations of winning conference/title this year? Not followed NBA other than that of Houston this season so I really don't have any strong opinions. I'm expecting to win the title this year
Morey came out a week or so and stated - 'Championship or bust'

Pelicans over the Bucks 68-45 at the half. 12-21 from 3. Do you think Rockets current 6 game streak is mainly because of playing bad teams or they are really a good defensive unit? Can they take 6th seed? Not sure yet, as they haven't gotten a W against the Lakers, Clippers, Jazz, Nuggets, Warriors, Suns, Bucks, Nets, Celtics, Pacers, though they haven't played many of them. But they do look like a playoff team and will probably improve. Nice barrage of 3s yesterday.

Dallas and Miami are incredibly disappointing
Looks like JRich isn't fitting in there

One big test might be against Memphis day after tomorrow. That said Rockets seems to have enough good pieces to make a big trade in future if they can hold on to their players. The Rockets basketball right now is looking good though. Win or lose, it's entertaining.

They will likely have to meet either Bucks or Nets in their conference. Those other teams have superstars too so 76ers have to be at their best.

Just saying.....
Anyone who thinks that Steph Curry isn't one of the greatest players in the history of the NBA is quite honestly a fool who knows nothing of the game of basketball.
Just saying.....

Not followed NBA other than that of Houston this season so I really don't have any strong opinions. He predicts them to win every year. Down 4 games-0 and he honestly believes they will come back to win the series.

I personally don't think 76ers are going to win their conference but yeah if one sees current standing as true reflection of probably playoff success than yeah one can believe highly about the 76ers. The main problem with 76ers is that much like Harden was a choker for Rockets come playoffs, Simmons is a choker too. So ultimately they have just 1 guy they can rely on. The big guy.

This pretty much sums up Ben
He's so gifted and skilled in getting others involved - that he completely forgets about himself at times
He's unselfish to a fault - think pass 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th.......
Ben breaks it down right here -

That's another win folks
Another Double Double from Jo-Jo and Tobias continues his quest to make his first All-Star game - he's like a different player playing under Doc. More confident and going to the rim with authority
2.5 game lead in the East over the Bucks and Nets (who the experts love)
