    If Giannis was 6'4, he would be working at wendy's

    LOL that they didn't call that a travel. Shifted his pivot foot twice after picking up his dribble

    After destroying luka it was Yannis turn. Yannis was making fun of Harden on defense not to long ago so payback is a b****

    James played some stellar defense tonight. But, let’s hear about how James doesn’t play defense from the ass-hatters around the country.

    James Harden #2 on this Rockets team (to RW) in Defensive WS, good for #48 league-wide, ranked higher than Clint Capela!

    James Harden is ranked #2 in steals this season league-wide.
    After Covington, Harden is #2 ranked on the Rockets team in BLOCKS, good for #32 league-wide.

    Harden is what I'd consider to be a good defender. He's totally owned that part of his game from all those criticisms.

    WHY ARE THEY ASKING HARDEN ABOUT THE DEFENSE?

    GIANNIS IS THE ONE WITH THE COMMENTS ABOUT HARDEN’S DEFENSE TO THE MEDIA. WHY DON’T THEY ASK HIM WHAT HE THOUGHT ABOUT TONIGHT!?!?!

    Harden is the 92nd percentile as far as low post defense.

    Did you bet on the Rockets? I’m sure that was some nice cash!

    Yezzir!
    I bet $191 and got back $517

    I’m usually more aggressive with stakes but I’ll be honest I did not expect to win this one. Thought Milwaukee is the worst match up for us.
