    RoCo actually plays the 5 (rim protector) role on defense more than Tucker does.

    But the best post defenders are Harden, PJ and EGo.

    Yep, Eric Gordon.

    This may be reason why Russ was so hyped on his tweet earlier.

    Fingers crossed!

    LOL at Dirk chirping at the corrupt refs after Porzingas ejected.

    Have you got stats on Ego post D?

    Looks more like he taps out in the post and sqwauks at someone for not switching. He does much better on the perimeter

    Get ready for slanted reffing boys, Mavs already getting shaft because the networks want the big 3 in the next round.

    And we all know how much Harden and Rockets loved by NBA officials.

    Agreed, EGo is much better on perimeter.

    Rockets PPP in post up isolation:

    Harden - 0.68
    Gordon - 0.69
    Green - 0.71
    House - 0.80
    Tucker - 0.89
    Covington - 0.94
    McLemore - 0.97
    Westbrook - 1.03

    For comparison:

    A.Davis - 0.67
    Giannis - 0.74
    Whiteside - 0.76
    D.Green - 0.88
    Capela - 0.98
    Porzingas - 0.91
    Olynyk - 1.11
    Adams - 1.12
    B.Lopez - 1.05
    McGee - 1.20

    And Kawhi is liability defending post at 1.17

    Proud of Clutch!

    So glad he is reminding the public and NBA community that refs do this all the time, favor the team with most national narrative.

    What happened to Mavs is not new, Rockets fans know this very well.

    Harden is about to embark on one of the most dominant playoff runs you'll see starting in about 16 hours.

    Don't say I didn't warn you.
