Sixers @ Hornets
Rockets @ Grizzlies
Knicks @ Thunder
Clippers @ Trailblazers
Bulls @ Warriors

Interesting games tonight. Chance that both the Sixers win and the Warriors lose. (Hornets -- free Kaminsky ... continue to give him more PT. Hornets have had quite a few games lately and a couple of injuries.)

After the Warrior/Clips game late last night -- the Clippers could be flat and fall to 6-6.

Rockets & Grizzlies -- one of those teams are going to lose again.

Could the Knicks beat the Thunder at OKC ? (looks like KD duck Porzingas tonight)

Take your pick

KD or KP?

The Pelicans give the Spurs fits. It is a bad matchup for them.

I don't like that game. The Pels have underachieved, but they still have that core of a playof team who seems to have a little matchup mojo versus SA.

With the W-L records, it appears like a mismatch...but I truly hate it.
And they get their players back as well tonight.
The SPurs need to bury them early while their confidence is shaky, or it could be a long night.

The GS Warriors are two wins away from matching the best start in NBA history (the 1948-49 Washington Capitols and 1993-94 Rockets both went 15-0)..... and they're one win from equaling the best start by a defending NBA champion (the 1957-58 Celtics were 14-0).

Nets down 24 at the half. Lionel Hollins must be on the hot seat

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Spurs fooling around with NOLA as expected early.

I dont know what it is about that team....even at 1-11 they are a massive headache for SA

I hope they turn it around soon before the Pels realize they can win tonight.

The Spurs play much better versus the Warriors than the Pelicans.

Houston down 14

Horns -- you are very smart. I thought there was no was NOLA would give the Spurs a game.

What in the heck is up with the Spurs ????

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

I said it long before the game started.
I know what teams my Spurs match up with well and dont match up with well.

The Pelicans are a colossal pain in the ass for San Antonio...even at less than full strength
Every team has someone that is a tough out.

For years, the lowly 76ers always found a way to beat the old defensive era Spurs of the mid-2000s and they sucked. SA could never find a way to consistently beat the 76ers when everyone else kicked their asses.

The Pelicans are now the new version of the 76ers for us.

Plenty of time left for the Spurs to win this....but it would not be a shocking result if they lost the game as well.

Okc looks bad without Durant

 

[Arsenal]

Ok now I relax. Great speaking of the Nets

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

The SPURS just play like idiots versus New Orleans.
It is annoying.

There is nothing that NoLa does well or any certain player. They always find a way to have a win.
Tonight it was some D-league castoff named Ish Smith looking like Allen Iverson....and Ryan Anderson channelling his inner Step Curry.

Wolves won't win a home game this season. 14 straight home losses dating back to last season and counting.

Both of those players can be pretty good. Ish Smith has been doing it a lot this year and Ryan Anderson could be the best stretch four in the game.
