    Nah I just want the rockets vs refs thing to be over. We gotta do what Kobe did by reading the rule book and looking at referee weak spots and hot spots. There has to be stats out on this. And then we exploit it. I’m pretty sure harden does this because he is a master of illusion.

    yeah ,
    btw what is imho the most important for a fan is to be free thinker and think for yourself... we can allow scott foster and adam silver to swallow the whistles but i can never allow them to control my opinion of who is the real champ
    so think about it..

    eg had morey paid the refs under the table and rockets won the championship would that satisfy rockets fans?
    would they consider it legit then? no of course but this is the very reason why i cant accept that harden is not a champ and rockets not being champs last 2 years

    another example
    say if 20 years from now a huge scandal be made public that scott foster was involved in fixing the games for purpose of betting fraud and he admits on the court that he was forced to call the game unfair in order for gsw to win

    how stupid would all who considered gsw legit champs would look then?

    how wrong would their opinions of legacy of harden durant steph etc would look like look like?

    well i dont have to wait 20 years for that to happen i have my own brain and sources of info

    Hart is a ****ing thing. See clutch city. That’s like saying chemistry isn’t a thing because you can’t quantify it.

    I think the cold reality is that people don't remember the actual games. Or who should have won.

    They remember the actual winners. Period.

    If that happens 20 years from now, it will be a big scandal.

    And folks would not consider us the champion.

    Stupid label when trying to apply it to someone who hasn’t won it. You have to win a chip, then there’s a failsafe proof that the person has the “heart of a champion”.

    Anyone can argue with you. Championship = heart of a champion. Any discussion about how to develop it is just plain stupid. You get the title when you win a title.

    Effort is a thing. To me those are pretty interchangeable terms.

    Right now this team doesn't play hard enough on defense, so I voted no. We'll see if that changes!

    If effort is what you mean, say effort.
