    Someone had a comment in an article that Paul's fire would rub off on Harden, and that Harden's chill would rub off on Paul. Maybe we're seeing a little of that.

    Along with great ****ing basketball, of course.

    Ha, I know, @Clutch, I am the last person to request anything from you. But, maybe, the front page... ah, heck, let's just leave it at Rolling in Phoenix until the next time we whip up on Phoenix.

    Didn’t watch it yet but cannot wait! I am worried about our defense, especially on the perimeter. First Lilliard crazy hot from three, Aminu left wide open time after time. How did these two guys get to 40 and such a high percentage on threes?

    Honestly the path doesn't matter much to me. You beat who's infront of you no matter who it is. This team is built to win and that includes hanging with the champs.

    I'm having that same warm, fuzzy feeling I had with the Astros back in June.

    Did Jim saying anything about his calf? I know he wasn't as aggressive as he could've been tonight.

    And was still a clutch beast despite that.

    I don't know how anybody can really be critical of our play at any point in this game honestly. Yes, we lulled in the 3rd and yes, we had to scratch and claw to get back in the first half, but so much of it was just incredible shot-making by the Pelicans.

    Those people posting bullshit about our defense being fake and us rolling over must not know much about the Pelicans. They couldn't have possibly played any better. There were only a handful of freebies and 3 of those were on Rondo. I guess me and Worrell are the only ones who've watched enough basketball to realize how ridiculous (I mean seriously) it was in the moment. I was surprised we were even in the game through most of it. I'm not gonna use the word luck, but those boys haven't EVER shot that well.

    This was a record for 3's made by that franchise for a reason. THEY SHOT OUT OF THEIR MINDS!

    Every single NBA team is going to let Rondo shoot 3's, I don't care how many he hits. Jrue Holiday having no hesitation and hitting off-the-dribble fadeaways isn't common just because he did it yesterday too. E'twaun Moore had the best game of his career, another outlier from a guy who usually doesn't chip in half that. AD might have helped, but not if Gentry was just going to run Boogie against our small-ball anyway.

    Just... c'mon guys, seriously? This was a great win and MDA is a huge reason why.

    Good defensive teams don't play defense at the time of the shot just sticking your hand up, they play it well before the shot to the point they don't even need to put a hand up most of the time

    You sure you don't want to add Ryan Anderson to that list. You know -- the guy leading the team right now, and led it last year as well, plus has the highest career average of all.
