    Chuck at half time: Houston women skinny, you can’t do that with the big old women in San Antonio

    Yep. They were calling nothing for the Clippers and everything for GS and Giannis had a bunch of free throws in the FIRST QUARTER alone.

    Big takeaway for me is that Harden had no free throws but that really had no bearing on his impact/rhythm. In years past the lack of calls would really bother him in the playoffs.

    Let's hope this continues throughout the postseason.

    CF always complains when the refs take control of the game... this is the playoffs... you let em play.

    I texted my jazz fan friend (sorry) at the beginning of game: “They’re playing bucks defense. Giving harden freedom with his right hand. That scares me because it worked for the bucks“ I now take that back

    If the refs called half the fouls made on the Rocks, and not just Jimi, we'd be ahead by 25.

    That Defense is intentional.
    James is left handed so they stand on his left to take away the 'step back left'
    and just encourage him to drive the lane and funnel him to Gobert.
    Not working so well for them so far

    The only reason it is even close to effective is the Refs are allowing Gobert to hack Harden

    Trying to play Bucks defense without Bucks personnel is a recipe for failure.
    Harden direct drive with floater + lob + corner three is the best offense, probably ever

    What if James was learning a right handed jumper ?

    You can’t say let them play but mainly call fouls for one team. They need to be consistent for both teams.
