    Harden and Ego go 2-21 from 3 and no Westbrook and we WIN by double digits, wow. Where has this D been and what caused them to buy in now?

    If Ego could actually shoot, he'd be up for 6th man of the year.

    Big props to Tucker, House, and the ageless, indispensable Jeff Green for this win.

    I can't imagine what it would be like to be an OKC fan and know that we traded away James Harden for some draft picks, Jeremy Lamb, and Kevin Martin... and then Harden keeps coming back to burn you over, and over, and over... Then the same team that stole Harden from you ends up with the loyal superstar you were able to keep for so long... I think I would need to be hospitalized.

    Seriously

    9 assists to 0 turnovers means James was the one in control

    Dort was phyical and had good effort , but he could only play 25 min and picked up 5 fouls.

    James had 21 points on 16 fga . Not mind boggling efficiency , but he still got his without having to jack up 25 shots.

    Also , side note , NBA website has "Giannis erupts for 28 and 20 " and " Rockets supporting cast comes up big while James Harden struggles from the field"

    Giannis shot 10/23 and had 7 T.o's to 5 assists. 15 of his 20 boards were defensive ( can sometimes be easy ) . Harden with 5/16 and perfect Assist/TO ratio.

    Not that i disagree that the rox supporting cast came up huge , but just an illustration of media BS

    if y’all saw sone of the things Clippers fans were saying about Doc last night :eek:

    leave it up to the fans, and no coach in the league makes adjustments

    apparently, Doc is now a stubborn fool who won’t change his rotation or switch things up

    The great, almighty Doc? Nah, that can’t be

    I thought only MDA was stubborn and made no adjustments...my worldview has been shattered

    I have a feeling Lu Dork is going to be in for a rude awakening in Game 3.

    gravity -> double team -> opportunities -> wide open shooters -> open lanes for penetration and cutters -> ball movement

    Seriously, one minute the media wants us to believe that Harden isn't MVP material (and not even All-Bubble material), then the next they're ready to anoint as a defensive superstar the kid who happened to be guarding him on a cold shooting night.

    Dort might end up being a fine defender after all, but to claim this was a glimpse of a future DPOY is more of a stretch than Bruno from fingertip to fingertip.

    Harden will not let Dort do that to him again for the reminder of the series.

    He will come out with a vengeance on Saturday. 3-0 loading.
