    Beard and Brodie will break top 3 before season ends.

    Book it.

    You’re right. They helped up under 150! 150 is the new 100! :p

    Lots of room for improvement. They look like the purposefully funnel players into help, then try to recover to shooters. Dallas was shredding that scheme.

    So how far does this put us up on Dallas seeding wise? Didn’t they change the rules or tiebreakers or something?

    Need EG back and I wish we still had Lou Williams. That’s the one guy I wish we kept during that whole CP trade.

    Westbrook needs to learn to go for the intense dunk when he’s flying for that layup attempt. He will either get fouled or make a crazy dunk.

    I notice he struggled in the OT...missed shots he normally would make...he still needs to get his wind strength to what it was before he had Covid-19.

    Woww, nice come back.

    Just an observation, not a complaint:

    1. That possession of Harden in the dying secs of regulation was clearly a shooting motion. He caught the ball and already pivoting to shoot when fouled. Why didn't Mike challenge that?

    Defense isn’t necessarily a measure of how many points you give up..

    The defense locked in and were able to get consistent stops in the 4th. Dallas looked very confused and tentative. Luckily, the rebounds started bouncing our way too...

    Except there was no help, and they didn’t recover to shooters. Somehow, as terrible as their defense was, they never fell behind more than 10 points. Great work To turn it around in the 4th and overtime.

    Couple thoughts. Number one, what a HORRIBLE loss for Dallas. That was absolutely pathetic. Secondly, this brand of basketball, man I just don’t know. It looks like a video game. It’s entertaining, I guess, but man it’s hard to watch defensively. Offensively, it’s incredible, but I’m skeptical that anyone could ever win a seven game series against a good team playing that kind of a game. Will be fun to see how it plays out though!

    Can we get a compilation of Harden’s defensive highlights from this game? Rockets social media, get on it please.

    Oh, and since I’m feeling greedy tonight, can I also get a compilation of Luka in the 4th quarter and OT?
