    You're nuts if you think Gordon has had any f*cks left to give for the past year. Amazing he even halfway tried to play D on that play.

    Eric Gordon has been a low IQ basketball player for years…he’s a vet who plays just as dumb as the rest of the kids

    How many mistakes?
    1.KJM's selfishness (not passing to open Jabari) and offensive foul
    2.Sengun's TO when 1.7 seconds left. How he could not find a player?
    3.Ego's tank commanding. A real veteran

    Even Tilman and the guy next to him was applauding for a possible win.You need to be very special to lose the game when you have the ball and score advantage when the clock ticking last 1.7 seconds.

    Disgusting.

    Absolutely not. If Jalen flailed like Fox did I would call it like it is.

    He's not the highest IQ player on offense, but as long as he's not running point for you, it's not a big deal. He's still a great role player and a solid defender. No need to compare him to Chris Paul.

    This is why I'm not a fan of the relentless 'we're tanking' defenders. Tanking this hard causes bad habits that you can't just turn off when the tank is over.

    Well it is what it is, in an ideal world that would be fine. But why are we the ones who receive all of the penalty but none of the benefit?

    Especially for a weak call like that.

    Fox played way more physical defense on us basically the entire game and never got called for a thing. I don't care if it's a foul or not. It just not consistent with the way things were being called in the fourth. They swallowed their whistle on every Jalen drive. Every sabonis foul. Every Fox loose ball foul. Then called this absolute bs to end the game. Contact didn't even affect the shot. He misses that by a miles

    I still can't tell from that angle. If you look at the one I posted, it looks like physical contact. Even in your shot it looks like they touched at the 0:03 mark right before a "gap" appears between them.

    I don't know - it's still close, but it's nice to have some controversy in an otherwise dull season.

    Tanking is a crime. It is a sinful act. It is game fixing. It is against humanity. Cheating of fee-paying audience and world-wide supporters.

    I’m not comparing him to Chris Paul…he’s just a dumb player who’s unbearable to watch

    I hope the Rockets are looking for the secret tunnel to the Ref locker room right now

    All of y'all saying it wasn't a foul ... when was the last time y'all saw Eric Gordon NOT complain about a call? That dude gets out of bed complaining and making "what? what did I do? on me?!?!? NO!!" gestures.

    Case. Closed. :D
