    Didn’t he end up getting fouled on this play anyway, after he drove by Hart and got smacked in the arms by another Laker?

    Really happy for the win! I bought myself and my
    I think that's what it's turned into. I believe it was first used in the December game by LeBron James while he was guarding Chris Paul. Paul certainly didn't take offense to it, nor did the King mean to offend. It was just an acknowledgment that Paul knows how to draw fouls very well, and James wanted to make it as difficult as possible. I don't think the intentions for others using that move are quite as innocent, though.

    The Lakers were were winning by like 15 points and harden was off to a slow start.

    Prior to Josh Hart doing the matador, James harden almost got a technical after he argued a foul call

    Yeah, Rivers is nice. Two-way players are valuable. His shot wasn't falling last night, but he was efficient in handling the ball -- zero turnovers with six assists. He's averaging <1 turnover per game since joining.

    i believe it all started in the spurs series in 2017 by pop instructing his players to show hands

    You can't expect the Lakers with lebron to let harden run off 11 straight points (3 three points and two free throws) down the stretch of a playoff game.

    Then fast forward to Gordon hitting the rockets fourth straight three pointer and game winner in the last three minutes of a game.

    A lebron led Lakers team will not have kentavias pope Pope and Lance Stephenson blowing defensive assignments down the sketch in a fourth quarter.

    Man look...with three minutes left in the game, the Lakers offense with lebron in the lineup would be lebron driving to the rim out of spread set with lebron making plays instead of what you saw last night.

    What you saw last night was the second greatest come back besides Tracy mcgrady 13 points in less than one minute against the Spurs more than ten years ago.

    The latter. Hart and Lebron did this the first time the Lakers played Rockets. They b****ed about Harden and Paul afterwards. Surprising coming from his buddy Bron.

    It's a running bet to see who can block James harden kinda like how 'old man' manu ginobilli blocked harden's shot when the Spurs beat the rockets in the playoffs a couple of seasons ago.
