    Man so many thoughts... Proud of our guys.
    • EG 3s came back
    • Green hitting that 3 in the corner from Russ after playing PNR with Harden with little success
    • Russ carrying us to close out the 3rd quarter for what I think is the first time we closed out a 3rd without giving up the lead
    • House put-back
    • EG defense on CP and fighting through the screens to close the game
    • Cov feeling REALLY good with his shot and Harden kept feeding him
    • Harden driving it in on every ISO in the 4th
    • Tuck clutch floatie
    • Harden block#1 on Dort
    • Russ deflection#1 to start the scramble play
    • Harden block#2 on Dort
    • Russ deflection#2 to close the series

    Also that out-of-bounds foul call on Harden was super bogus. Truly a phantom call.

    You know the last team to beat the Miami Heat which is steam rolling the Bucks was this thunder team. They also beat the lakers and few other teams of note. This thunder team was no joke. They smashed us in OKC and beat us in Houston. They are in my opinion way better then the Jazz, blazers and dallas. Probably on par with Denver if not better . They are extremely underrated.

    That is what he was doing all night so it was going to be all net.

    Anyone else catch this in the post-game interviews? Based on CP3's comments in his post-game interview, Scott Foster deliberately called for the floor to be swept to allow a team to get a look at a replay before deciding to challenge a call or not. This action is outside the scope of a referee and potentially compromises the integrity of the game. To me this is a story and should be looked at by the reporters and the nba. I know it isn't much but if Foster is willing to engage in behavior outside his scope as a ref, what else does he do to manipulate games? Foster should be pulled off playoff games until this incident is thoroughly reviewed by the league.

    Dort decided to morph into Steph Curry and we somehow managed to win.

    I appreciated the defensive efforts - but overall that was a painful game to watch... missed layups from WB, ugly flat shots from Harden, constantly leaving the corner 3 open early on... painful...

    During that 1 stretch where everybody kept flopping trying to get the win handed to them instead of going and getting it was sad...

    Dont get me wrong - I'm happy to take the win... but I was already concerned about the Lakers match up - and the last couple games didnt help my confidence level... lol

    Lol, not trying to piss on the parade ... but man oh man, we were one CP hardly missed but missed this time pull up from being so proud of this team to all hell broken loose. Think about that.

    Literally 3 inches on that shot separating us between Grits/all heart/Pressure off and James Hidden.
