I love the way this game is being officiated so far. Yesterday's refs would've blown the whistle 15 times already with the contact we've seen, but it's all incidental.
HOU has a far better excuse. They are playing the best basketball team in the world .
What the fuck was that? Always have an eye on the ball...but I mean, especially if you're in the back court.
Nobody ever turtled harder than James Harden just turtled with roughly the entire shot clock to shoot a wide open three. Two terrible Rockets shots later and suddenly the Dubs blow up the lead to 12.
After last night's game I have a much greater respect for the gap between LeBron and the next tier of players (basically all playing in this game). Unreal at his age.
We should know by now that's not the case. Brady and countless others have walked off the field fine. That being said, it didn't really look like an ACL/MCL kind of injury to me. Did it to anyone else?
Edit: I guess it's probably the ankle?
Alright I was wrong about Harden. Chris Webber doing his best Mike Breen impression on a Korver made three.
Haha. Nicely done.
Meanwhile, stories of Harden and the Rockets quitting have been greatly exaggerated.
I will just add that aside from gamethread snark, hot takes don't typically age well for NBA playoff games. And I am guilty of making some myself.
We still have to survive the 3rd quarter supernova but at least we’re alive right now.
The whole floor opens up the second Paul or Harden beat that first man. They did a nice job attacking while GS settled for tougher shots.
