    It is some of the ugliest looking **** in the world
    but
    EGO and Rivers seem to be excellent drivers
    Harden is too

    They are decent finishers.

    an Open shot is an open shot.

    If we don't attack the rim more, then why we trade Clint Capela?

    Keep passing up layups for 3-20 from three. Great strategy!

    I've been following the Clippers/Mavs series and everytime Luka drives, he does the same pass to open shooter like Harden does... except the Mavs consistently hit their 3s. Obviously they don't take as many 3s as we do, but they drive and lay it in way more than us.

    IDK how year after year, we just keep bricking wide open 3s when Harden drives. If Harden had the same shooters as Luka, he'd be averaging 15 assists this series.

    House hit a midrange bank shot, I was shocked. This team won’t go anywhere with this system and everyone knows it.

    Inexcusable and shame not to foul Dort out in the 4th.

    I am not watching that series, but I would guess the Clippers have a shot blocker at the rim meeting him. Did Steven Adams even play in the 4th today? In addition, if we were making those, yeah, let's keep doing it. But we werent. Then it just became some sort of gambler's plan until we run out of money (time).

    Also, free throw : 9 v. 28 advantage to OKC

    You can't win any game when not making the threes and not go to the line.

    The ineptness of in game change displayed the coach is hard to grasp. He is a gambler. When he loses money on the table, instead of making smaller bets to ride out the storm, he doubles it down.
