You have to D them up. Thunder used to be a good defensive team and now they just don't play it at all. They can, they just dont.
and there in lies the difference between any other offensive minded team and GS....GS can and will play D when it calls for it their defensive stats don't look impressive when merely looking at ppg, but their defensive efficiency rankings are still top 5 http://espn.go.com/nba/hollinger/teamstats/_/sort/defensiveEff only SA and Boston are better, in fact
The road to 73 is there if they want it. 46-4. Need to go just 27-5 the rest of the way. They will have 17 of the last 24 games at home. So if they can go 6-2 or 7-1 in the next 8 games (7 of which are on the road) before getting into that 24 game stretch, they are golden for breaking the record. Clippers, Hawks, Thunder, Heat and Trailblazers (who have been hot lately) all on the next 7 game road trip. Their toughest test of the entire season.
Who caught the dunk contest? I have no idea how the guy from Orlando didn't win, Aaron something. I've never seen anything like his dunks.
Totally agree. Taking the ball from the mascot on one of those fake hover board things and 360ing with the hand on the back of the head and then jumping over the mascot taking the ball off the mascot's head and putting his legs in the air like he was sitting down and doing a behind the back but under his own ass while sitting in the air and dunking was unbelievable. That was the greatest dunk ever. I hope I described that right.
