    Harden just needs to know when to go with the pace of the team and when to take over. He played amazing, but I think to push into the next level he will need to know that a single shot by him isn't going to change an onslaught by the opposing team.

    Whoa. I did not previously know that.

    And James won the Players MVP that one year when the baba-throwing Stephchild won it. Hmm. I'm just saying. James has never played this well.

    Agreed.

    But it wasn't even a dunk. It was a ridiculous and 1 circus layup that actually went in.

    Put on my tin foil hat here and say the league owed the Rockets one after Dallas.

    We all knew Doc called time to get himself ejected too right? Maybe the league sending a message to them as well that they're tired of all the bellyaching.

    Honestly, from years past those rockets clippers games were annoying. Cp3, Griffin, doc, Dwight...complaints every trip up AMD down the court lol

    It's funny how the media (LA clippers guys) always fall back on saying that we will not win in playoffs. Keep hating and we will prove them wrong.

    I think D'Antoni's Pheonix team had the same rep

    It seems like every year they're favorites to take down the Warriors/Spurs, yet every year they're struggling to win in the playoffs. This is their last year to do anything and I highly doubt they'll get past the 1st round again.

    In the interview, he said he didn't know the ref was there and it was an accident, but you can plainly see he pushes off on the ref. No respect provided, no respect given.

    It has been a long time since we could have a bad quarter or not play particularly well and still blow somebody out.

    We need a player or 2 to really step up (Decker, and ?) to be really great.

    Looks like Montrezl has really arrived. He gives us a special level of effort. Can't wait to see him match up with Draymond Green. Similar builds and attitude.

    Why not stop and be like, "That's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen between a pair of legs."

    or

    "Madam, I'm sorry to be so forward, but would it be okay if I take a picture of that hole between your legs? I've waited my whole life to see a hole like that."

    or

    "That's gotta be God's most colorful creation. What's it look like hanging from my bedpost?"

    or

    "Does the bathing suit match the drapes?"

    or

    "Mother Earth showed us hers, now your turn."

    Seriously, driving off a cliff is a waste of a trip to the Grand Canyon.
