    I haven't heard a Jazz broadcast in a long time. Is Matt Harping still commentating? He was absolutely terrible the last time I heard him (5 years ago?).

    Don't have DVR so I can't go back to verify.
    But DUMB foul nonetheless.
    Game ended up being just 2 points.

    Remember when I said it was a joke that James had zero FTs at half-time? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Somehow it doesn't apply in the most important situations - inbounds plays down the stretch of close games.

    But if you bump or grab slightly on someone cutting halfway through the first quarter it's an instant foul.

    Someone needs to tweet a vid of an inbounds play at the NBA refs for a please explain, the inconsistency is maddening!

    A combination of weird officiating and Blake Griffin turning into Reggie Miller made the last few minutes of this game a bit more harrowing than they needed to be.

    That said, despite a 40+ point 4th quarter by the Pistons, I'm not really mad at the defense. I mean, come on, some of Griffin (and Ish's) shots felt like prayers that were answered again...and again...and again. The Rockets, however, had the fortitude and closing ability to finish this one with a W.

    Chris Paul is rounding into form, and has been for a while. He's looking quick.

    And the MVP is playing like the best player in the world, making a difference on both ends.

    When EGo's shot comes back from it's extended vacation, the offense will make every opposing defense melt.

    also, will this thread reach 40 pages?? Another win for the books!

    Harden's free throws are definitely back.

    He has made 35 Free Throws in a row.
    84.3% for the year
    93.3% over last 5 on 56-60.​

    It's been a trend since we went all in with the switching offense. Teams with capable bigs always F with us. This is why I don't want to face Pelicans ever in the playoffs.

    That was such a weird play, James got hugged, and then the other guy flopped for some reason. James didn't even try to push him off

    Good win, bench production is just terrible can’t keep relying on Harden, Paul, and Capela really need another piece.

    Rockets exactly right now are the 8th seed (playoff eligible).

    Anything can happen ....

    They'll keep moving up. They're only 2 games out of first. And call me a cynic, but I don't see Memphis leading the West as the season wears on.

    Pistons are no joke. They went to Toronto and beat a full strength raptors team
