    shouldnt it be "Weird that everyone is pointing out that Harden did not celebrate Harden's basket. Clearly Harden was disappointed that Harden scored."

    1) There's 2 seconds left and he's on the friggin' court

    2) He looked excited/happy to me

    I'm not saying Howard, Brewer, TJ were all being sour. For Howard and Brewer, they have been in the league long enough to know that 2 seconds is an eternity also that avoiding a sweep in the first round of the playoffs isn't exactly something worthy of enormous celebration.

    For Capela and DMo, it was legitimately a career highlight.

    Feigen is quite obviously being sarcastic there.

    Looked like a big sigh of relief plus fist pump. This shouldn't even be a topic right now.


    Wait 'til game 7 and then you can talk.

    What you call pathetic I call being 'dialed in'.

    Also what you call "bias" I caled "biased". Bias is the noun, biased is the adjective.

    We agree on the off-season purge though.

    Yeah, my bad. That went right over my head.

    Never skip breakfast, folks.

    I think it evaded me because Harden clearly did seem pumped about it.

    Its always something with Dwight. We win and someone says, "oh look at his reaction, he checked out". We lose and people still say, "damm it looked like he checked out early". He smiles too much, he didn't smile at all blah blah blah.

    Damm can we be happy that we won instead of focusing on someones reaction? What was the whole purpose of this thread? To talk S#%t about OUR PLAYER ON OUR TEAM? He's still on the Rockets team right?

    Don't look too much into it. The bench knows that 2.5 seconds is plenty of time for GSW to get a shot off. Get the W first, then celebrate.

    How could it be "clearly" when it was under his shirt? You can't even tell whether he was hold a fist or an open palm.

    Look it could be just that the guys were being cautious about the last 2 seconds. But don't just dismiss us who thought it weird to not at least show some excitement in such an important game.

    It is at least a debatable scene.

    Most things are debatable but it is also pretty clear to me that Dwight was relieved after almost blowing that game.

    There is a narrative.

    Events get filtered through its prism.

    And then added to the narrative.

    And the confirmation bias is affirmed.

    I didn't think they looked mad, but rather nervous and well, maybe upset that it had come down to that type of shot after leading the entire game. Definitely didn't get the impression they were upset with the shot selection, and even James pushed DMo off when he went to chest-bump him. As if to say, "it ain't over yet, let's not get too excited."

    I did notice their reaction though, and though, oh yah these guys know not to get too excited with 2.7 secs left.

    If you notice, its everybody who will likely be gone next season

    Bye Howard, Brewer, Jones and Dekker

    Warmly welcome back Dmo and Capela, players who really care!
