It was a monster putback. Like almost all "posterization" type dunks, I really wasn't "over" anyone. But it was a fantastic read and putback. No need to get Gobert involved (which is what Gobert apparently said to himself on that play.)
I always look forward to your posts following a big game like this. Thank you for being so consistently on point.
Maybe House and Rivers will get it going? Would love to see Westbrook working hard to get guys like House and Rivers involved early and maybe Harden will start to trust teammates more even if he is on fire. He needs to share the ball more to keep these guys in a rhythm the whole game.
Why doesn’t stuff like this happen with harden and Westbrook’s playing. Even The fast breaks looked ten times better last night and I was of the understanding that we just didn’t have skilled guys out in the open to pull of fast breaks without our stars...
Because when others players don't get to HOOP, and are instead dictated to by Harden when they get to "have fun", and only allowed to operate inside a box, they lose energy, rhythm and interest.
Gobert was flexin on Rivers after he blocked him while his team was down 13 with 3 minutes to go just to get abused by House a minute later, lol
