Van Gundy: "And don't tell me home court doesn't matter!"
Ummm who the heck is saying home court doesn't matter?

To his credit; he works with Mark Jackson who probably says stupid stuff like that all the time.
Am I wrong in thinking it was valuable to keep the game close to keep lebron on the court? 46 minutes... They pile up - but the dude is super human, and despite me being a certified hater, the man deserves a tip of the cap.
Yes, I agree it was valuable (a 2nd best outcome). . He is human, and he does get tired.
He also tweaked his knee and was seen limping after the game. Didn’t show any ill effects in the 4th quarter, but injuries like that sometimes get worse the next day. Of course, as you say, he’s not human, so I expect him to be ready, but maybe the knee saps 2-10% of his normal effectiveness.
Meanwhile: haven’t heard any news on Love, but seems like there’s a decent chance he won’t be available at all.
Man, this every-day playoff game thing is freaking intense. Warriors (Iguodala still questionable) and Rockets (CP3 out) on the clock...
Tough to scheme on the fly. I’m sure Stevens will be prepared for Love’s absence, if he’s out.
I was at a few of those Bulls games in person, and the intros were fantastic, even though I didn't give two shits about the team.
I was always partial to the Celtics version which started with KG screaming like a maniac.
It's hard for people to really understand how deep that shot is. 95+% of the people here couldn't reach the basket without heaving it.
I knew it was the mid-50s. There were some funky scores WBW.
I think he might have meant the 3 pt line, that came in around '79-'80.
I think Houston is a better team defensively without Paul. I also think there is something to the "Freedom" these other guys have on the offensive end without him. Guys like Gordon and Ariza don't have to think about "If I take this shot, I'm taking a chance away from Paul.." Gordon for one looks great right now.
Back to back trips down, Durant has gotten some pretty ticky tack fouls his way. Refball trying to keep it close.
That's the new rule this year. You have to give the shooter the ability to land. The W defender back into where Harden was landing. That's one I'm ok with being called. Harden usually doesn't get the benefit of the doubt from me though.
We’re going to keep launching. We missed so many in the last game, but obviously we’ve had games this year where we hit a ton and just blow teams out of the water.
Yeah, that's find. The confusion was just because we couldn't see the feet until the final replay.
I'm telling you. These Rockets look completely different without Paul on the floor. It's like someone took a brick off their shoulders on the offensive end, and they know that there are no better options, so shoot away.
