    Let’s not overact here. My only beef with Giannis is when he gets touch calls. I feel like a majority of those plays were just play on. Doesn’t look like he’s blatantly running into us. A lot of times he actually beats us to that spot which is crazy cuz of his length. Sure he got away with 1 or 2 charges. But I feel like a lot of his baskets were pretty legit. His shooting also better today which I was shocked about. More pissed that they didn’t review his goal tending. Why is that not reviewed?

    I hate the touch fouls they gave Brook Lopez more. 7 footer guarded by someone 6 inches shorter out here flopping.

    exactly. everyone's makeup is different but the beauty in the game is actually finding what works for you. not saying its 100% going to work out in the end and they'll win a ship, but this way of playing does give this specific rockets team their best chance at a win on any given night. And that it can work. you jump ball and see what happens

    1 or 2 charges? That’s 1 or 2 clear offensive fouls that should be called and affect the outcome of games that he gets away with all the time. He is definitely blatantly running into people and using high elbows to create space.

    RoCo's impact on the rockets is just on another level compared to CC. that should have been obvious a long time ago but he continues to show it

    Russ with the offensive pressure and Harden with the defensive pressure to end the game - my, was that beautiful basketball!

    Yes he initiates contact kinda the way Harden use to do as well. I wouldn’t say it’s always an offensive foul cuz he’s not really extending his arms. Most of those plays he’s parallel with Covington or Tucker so it’s not like we beat him to the spot and he just plowed them.

    YEAH, because 2nd best coaching record in the NBA over the past 3 seasons just ain't gonna cut it. LOL

    How many rings did Phil Jackson win when MJ went on hiatus?
    I'll give you a hint, it rhymes with hero.
    So, by your logic, one could also say Phil Jackson got paid off of MJ's sheer talent.
    Or, Phil Jackson with Shaq/Kobe? We should probably discount those wins too
    Riding coat tails.

    Pat Riley anyone? (Kareem/Magic)

    Pop? (Duncan/Parker/Ginobli) How many rings has Pop won since Duncan retired?

    We can play that game all night. Not a valid statement
