    House is so explosive in a weird way. Not the most balanced, but freaking get the job done. If you look at this roster, we only have 1.5 guys that can put the ball down and dribble penetrate. Guys like House and Rivers are pure hearts and guts. Love them.

    I wonder if this d*ckhead keeps the same energy for Kawhi?

    down the stretch in the 4th, pringles left covington on the bench in favor of uncle jeff. let harden post up on the block for a turnaround 2. further mixed up the offense keeping the ball in EGO's hands down the middle and (sometimes) bringing harden off curls.

    maybe his stubborness is finally evolving? let's hope this keeps trending the same direction

    Yall remember how Yao struggled at Suns when Dantoni was running Amare at center. Freaking never thought I would enjoy the small one day like that on the providing side.

    I loved the Harden post up...I wish he’d go to it a lot more when his 3 isn’t working...he easily created space on Dort to get off that midrange shot...it could also invite a double team

    I hope to see it more

    he definitely worked on his game over the break. much smoother release on the 3 now, improved court awareness and passing

    i think it was on schroeder (who tried to flop), but agreed i'd like to see him post up anyone under 6'9" a few times each game

    Shoreder has no business in guarding Harden and yet I see him get assigned to Harden so often. This is one thing I really don't get from BillD. But hey good for them I guess. Also I can see why the Hawks got rid of him.

    Serious question, who do you see Russ take minutes from after he comes back.

    I would have him sit out of this series unless we got hit and wobble a little bit.

    He called one at the 10 minute mark, backfired.

    i though it was going to be a though series for us, but i can see this going 4 to 1.
    If we can win with Harden and Gordon shooting 30% from the floor, i think we can comfortably beat OKC .
