    Because if you do either of those things Stern fines you and suspends you.

    I had a K-Mart flashback. Poor overall game from Harden so far. We need him to step up.

    Alexey Shved is one solid rookie:

    The refs really dont want ROckets to win...this is rediculous. Wonder what the spread is in betting rings.

    Considering the Rockets usually win the foul battle, it STRONGLY suggests ref bias.

    Harden is much stronger than Syved, but syved waits for the double to reset...and continues to the rim...thats on Harden not turning him away from the lane

    they're playing him tighter always happens once he starts getting a lot of press.

    lately the rockets are finally starting to get the media to talk about them and minnesota is right behind in standing and not many people talking about them so of course they have something to prove and of course west conference teams are never a pushover.

    This is the time to see what we're made of. Do we have what it takes to win these ugly games where nothing seems to go right and the other team brings all their energy? Can we beat teams that we can beat? Can we win when we have to?

    It's one thing to lose a game if you legitimately get schooled on one end or the other, but Twolves are also playing sloppy. Hope we get it together in the locker room and come out with some energy and a better presence of mind.

    The Rockets PNR D is woeful tonight. Our issue is defense not offense. Team needs to start getting stops so we can push the pace more. We have to come out hard in the second half. Better defense leads to better offense.

    How many flops do white Euro's get in a game before the refs stop calling them?

    The Refs have been god awful in this game so far.. Rockets play in rhythm and to beat them you have horrid officiating, this is where Minnesota takes advantage...

    Conspiracy theory: Sports books prop up the red hot streaking Rockets (who are playing above their heads) to lure betters. Refs do their thing, killing a tired Rockets teams momentum constantly which give the Wolves an upset and Vegas wins. Happens all the time in sports betting. It's a bait switch.

    Boy , imagine if he wasn't scoring. His defense is beyond just "lazy." The laziest superstar defender can defend better than him. He just stays flat footed and he DOES NOT have elite quickness to make up for any laziness
