I was actually saying that when we were up by 3 to foul them for 2 free throws. At least we get the possession again to waste more time.... and we'd be up by at least 1.
This is the price you pay for having Dumbtoni as coach. He is 100% reliant on Harden so he can't control him. The Rox will always be 100% reliant on talent as long as Dumbtoni is at the helm, when that talent is misfiring we got 0 chance to win even against scrub teams.
Aw, adorable. This reminds me of mediocre team's fans getting hyped after their team beat a decent team. This team is 15-8.
Bro, just find a new schtick, i dont really wanna see this crap right now. Its not at all whats going on and Im not gonna entertain it, its the same thing with you after every loss.
He's been bad for most of the season, a few high-volume 50-point games aside. Dude has been playing little perimeter defense and forcing too much.
You would think it's House, but he's been absolute trash since he came back. You could say it's because of flu, but what's the cost of playing him then?
Only Dumbtoni will roll out a playoff rotation against a lotto team and STILL lose by 1. Clemons only 3 mins, no pt for Chandler or Hartenstein and not limiting Harden's PT when he was starting to shoot the Rox out of the game. What else is new? Rox short by a little bit once again Dumbtoni's team gonna do Dumbtoni things.
Behave now. He was pretty bad in his first 3 games of the season, and he's been inconsistent in like his last 4 games. He's been quite good for most of the games. He had like a 11 game stretch where he was averaging over 40 points a game and shooting like 51% from the field and like 41% from the 3pt shot. He was also still averaging around 7 assists a game whilst doing that. Look at many steals and blocks he's been getting recently. As I said, when we lose James Harden is made to look like the bad guy.
This win tonight is like them winning the championship. They know they're not making the playoffs, so they have to be relevant somehow.
The NBA's officiating system is so bad now, I'm not even sure I'm watching a basketball game anymore. I'm just talking from a neutral perspective. One of the fundamental elements of basketball is pace and stamina. Guys get tired as the game goes on, and teams get beat off the inbound if they're not careful. But now the game has a replay system that takes longer than the worst NFL and MLB replays. Huge blocks of time for rest and huge blocks of time to kill momentum. I'm not even going to address the quality of the calls made from the reviews; just the system as implemented is simply atrocious. If it had any shame at all, the League ought to be thoroughly embarrassed trotting this crap out there.
'Control' him? Just how would you expect the coach to 'control' him? Are you going to direct that someone else take over during crunch time? Tell him he sucks and doesn't have it tonight? Sit him on the bench?
The NBA are doing their best to make sure the Lakers make the finals. They want the Lakers to become relevant again.... and they want Lebron to win at least one more championship so they can talk about him being as good as Jordan for years.
