bullshite ESPshit N just confirms its bullshite everyday. One of the "headlines" on their NBA page.

quote:

Even their defense, maligned across the Internet after a couple of embarrassing performances, ranks 13th in points allowed per possession and has held opponents to just 41.7 percent shooting overall — the third-lowest mark in the league. "It's way too early to panic," says Kelvin Sampson, the team's top assistant coach. "There are a lot of things we are doing better than people might think."

3Much of the tension was predictable, though it has blown up faster than anyone could have expected. And it stems in part from high expectations after the offseason signing of Dwight Howard.



Really you frickheads? We just blew out the Celtics by 30 pts and you write this piece of fricking shite on the same day?

quote:

And yet, there is an unease and turmoil around the Rockets that is unusual for a team this good.



You're so full of shite it hurts!


GFY and write about the Nets or some shite. Houston has done just fine without bullshite pieces of work like this.

Are you serious? Zach Lowe is pretty unanimously considered one of the best most unbiased basketball writers out there. Everything he said in the article was true, blowing out a terrible tanking celtics team AFTER the article was written doesn't change the fact that there are serious concerns about Dwight and the defense that won't stop the rockets from winning 50+games but will stop them from winning a title

Rockets have played 12 games together, with a new center, with another center who is pouting on the bench and refusing to give effort, and they are 8-4.

And two of those losses were on buzzer-beating 3 pointers.

They are working out the kinks and still have a very respectable record.

Dwight is averaging 18 points, 14 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks, and his teammates are still missing him on alley oops a couple times a game.

They'll improve on the things they aren't doing great at yet. They're only 12 games in.

They're fine.

And also, part of the reason his numbers are even more down this year is the other Rockets players didn't really know how to feed the post. They'd pass it down low but Dwight would have to get out of position to get the ball.

They'll clean that up. They already have for the most part.

ESPN's NBA coverage is absolutely horrible. Their NBA coverage is easily the worst out of all the sports they cover.
