    I think last year's team loses this game, with how one-sided the officiating was. Maybe not 0-27, but last year's team would've let this kind of treatment affect their play. This team didn't. They weathered the 3rd quarter mini comeback, then took care of business. Then the bench just straight murdered the Jazz.

    Pretty inspiring to watch.

    Happy with the win! Nearly 20 million viewers (circled in the pic below) on the Chinese Tecent NBA streaming service at the end of this game. You also consider that it's a working Monday morning.

    Nah, nobody is trading anyone.

    Just an observation, you think the perennial DPOY is not mobile?

    He is just stuck in a situation which is good but not great, with the exception of inexperienced Mitchell every other guard is okay ish but not great.

    Having to play with multiple HOF guards would elevate his game to perennial Allstar level.

    It is really that obvious.

    You think Capela is better for this team because he had years to train with Harden and CP.

    Have Gobert train with them, you would see the same effects and maybe even better, as Gobert protects the rim more than a tad better IMO.

    You would still need to find another Ariza, lengthy defender to cement the perimeter Defense though.

    looks at these guys trying to figure out a way to play defense. that's exactly what the entire league does on a everyday basis

    TNT crew before the game:

    Jazz defense is so AWESOME!

    TNT crew after the game:

    Jazz cant be giving the lane to Harden.

    A thoroughly satisfying win! Total Houston Rockets basketball. Complete negation of the Utah Jazz.
    Keep on winning Houston Rockets!

    Really wish TNT crew watched full games outside of playoffs, and actually knew something about the their jobs. When asked about their opinion on House, they had nothing because they dont even know who he is, they make jokes about him being related to Eddie House, but he is related to him! Thats how clueless these guys are, shame.

    I thought you couldn't touch the ball in the cylinder, if any part was in, though you're right about tip-in, or while it was on the way down? Maybe that last was for defenders only?

    On the replay I saw, Capela touched the ball when all of it was outside the cylinder, gathered it, and moved it laterally for a weeny-dunk. I didn't see goaltending; I saw what you want your 5 to do around the rim.

    But I still think you could call travelling with most of the marquee players' moves to the rim (including Harden), so what do I know?

    There was some math that worked in their favor, I can show you some tweets(if you want). But im not trying to argue with you bro, Im happy we won and we'll leave it that. For the record i agree with you but I where i disagree is thinking that a "keen eye" was needed.

    When you've made as much as Barkley? Chuck loses that on a bad night playing blackjack. Or at least he used to.

    But that would make me bitter true. 20+ years is a long time to hold a grudge.

    I didn't mean for it to be an argument. I was just saying I don't think the Jazz can compete. Yeah share the tweets, I'm curious.

    • Media again saying the Bucks did the ICE the ISO defense first in March...(in a question to MDA)
    • sigh...they did it in January, too.
    • Harden has seen this many times, even before the 2nd time Bucks did it.
    • At least 3-4 games prior to Bucks doing it again
    • 3-4 games since.

    @heypartner @J Sizzle @J.R. @Carl Herrera @Deuce @hakeem94 @Rocket River @Vivi

    we need a Silver Game Fixing Archive thread to document the ongoing rigging these playoffs. i've tagged some members above who may be able to help or might know someone else here who can provide the replay footage, ie. of harden getting fouled w/ no whistles (and likewise harden getting called for phantom fouls himself).
