    But there will still be jackasses clinging to that Shaqtin' the Fool YouTube video from 2015.

    To each their own but If you have to “fruit” the beer look elsewhere.

    When we get after it they don’t play. Some serious switch lockdown shiit can go down. I’m loving it right now.

    We always talk about “taking it to the rim” and when we have our “full compliment“ of players it’s that much easier. You just never know who and when if we have everyone going. EG was strong tonight

    Honestly Gordon shooting a 3 is a guaranteed turnover at this point so I actually don't mind him probing a bit for a drive.

    Plus his 3's clank so hard it's usually a weird long rebound that leads to fast breaks

    STFU and actually pay attention... OKC has been getting a clear officiating bias this series and getting away with MANY no calls

    A great comeback win! Eric was definitely fouled at the rim which were ignored by the refs. Even when Russ was quiet, Harden felt more confident. James just blew them apart! His defense is just awesome. Dort is a good player, but he felt Harden's power tonight. Uncle Jeff is so underrated. I'm glad he shot nicely in the 2nd half. PJ and he are our glue guys.

    That stinking Schroder got frustrated when we got hot. PJ should have never been ejected. When Russ gets hot, it will be all over for OKC.

    Go Houston Rockets! Finish OKC off in Game 6.

    The PJ incident with Dennis Schröder isn't as bad as what Schröder did to Demarcus Cousins that one time where he tried to disassemble and take Cousins' manhood home with him. Now when I think of Dennis Schröder, all I can think about is that NSFW scene from Friday After Next :

    ** NSFW **

    duno which playground you play at... in my hood ppl can shoot and defense is played more often than not:)

    usually i would agree but I didnt see many turnovers last night, didnt you?

    as pointed by others his 3pt shot at this point is almost a guaranteed turnover .. imho since he is so streaky the smart thing would be to try and see if he got handles on any particular night or the 3 point touch...

    on the other hand i suspect his losing the ball while attempting to drive is a result of lack of attempts and in game practice... the more you handle the ball and the more you drive the more you are adjusted and comfortable doing it...
    otoh the more you are determined that you gonna drive and the less prone you are to bail yourself out by chucking crazy long 3s the greater the probability you are gonna be successful in your drives and the better 3pt looks the defense gonna give you

    Exactly. We aren't complaining about 3 or 4 extra men at the line. The big difference is the kind of crap they get away with. You can't be fair if Paul can strike a guy down low and the refs won't even review it. Besides, let them play should work both ways. You can't tell me Paul could get fouled like EG does at the rim without a call being made every time.
