    I believe Harden passed David Robinson tonight for career points scored.

    There’s some irony in there somewhere.

    Harden needs to stop getting in foul trouble. Good thing we have WB when he can't be aggressive..

    Harden asked about Giannis and his reply
    "How difficult was it to defend Giannis"
    "Next Question"

    If the 3's were falling like normal, this game would have been a massacre.

    Facing Bucks in Finals is something I look forward to.

    Bring it!!!

    Wont really effect standinds, etc, yes the epitome of a statement game, win or lose by 3 really. Against the best D in the league, longest, tallest team in the league, this team and style can win it all if a couple games bounce their way...

    It's not about Giannis.

    It's about a ring.

    NEXT!

    You still not getting what I’m saying. I’m not talking about Harden ISO. I’m talking about Harden on fast breaks. He use to see a guy and just plow right into him for and 1.

    See below as just one example. He even uses his elbow to clear space just like Giannis.

    that's plowing to you? That's not even remotely close to me.

    Put a video of what Giannis does right next to that and tell everyone here honestly you think its the same.

    Harden now 39th All Time in scoring after passing David Robinson tonight. He needs 84 points to move to 38th to pass Bob Petit and then a further 15 points to pass Pau Gasol

    Yes i'm very encouraged at today's win. Team showed lot of heart and cool under pressure, including hitting the clutch free throws.

    The amount of effort it took on defense, may have taken some toll on the legs (for the 3pt shot). Rebounds aside, while I don't know if our style of play will 'dominate', it certainly went toe-to-toe with them. The stat they spewed about Bucks being one of the teams that allows the most threes, is encouraging as in a 7 game series, we could have blow outs in our favor. As happy I am with the win, it's definitely hard fought and when Brook was dominating, it was definitely a nail biter.

    Y’all all need to calm down. No one is happier that we won than me. I just don’t think we as a fanbase should keep b*{^}ing about the officials. We won’t ever get those calls and if I looked at those plays objectively a lot of times his baskets were pretty legit. Makes it even sweeter that we beat them. Just trying to point out Harden use to get away with those same plays it just not as noticeable cuz he’s smaller.

    JVG was right. Should have been a foul called on Hill on that play for reaching.
    They ignored that and went with the Harden hook that took place afterward.
