    I normally think most NBA games are reffed well...but we got jobbed tonight. Every call late seemed to go against us and was dead wrong. Horrible job by the refs.
    Saw a lot of good things. We played a tough, physical team in a playoff type game and almost won. Harden was a bit off though I think we may see a lot of that in the playoffs as teams force everyone else to beat us. Lin played great even playing 45 minutes. And of course we were missing Parsons; he would have helped a ton tonight.
    I think we are going to surprise some people come playoff time.

    V 3.0 is entitled to his/her opinion too, doesn't mean it's worth much....

    u see...

    But seriously though, if I needed some insight on the dynamics of a child star in Hollywood, then Lindsey Lohan would be quite a credible source. Likewise, if I wanted some insight on the dynamics of NBA basketball, guess what, Clyde would probably be a better source than anyone on this forum...

    just saying...

    C'mon guys. Harden single-handedly outplayed Memphis.

    That Stephen Curry person is something different, he just randomly throw up the ball and it keeps falling into the basket. His shots don't even look that pretty, just amazing. And he looks like a school boy, so unthreating.

    about 7 of those 'turnovers' were BS offensive foul calls. and on the same night that LA gets 50-16 FT attempts.

    hmmmmm

    You're still on this? No one was arguing. I didn't say that Clyde's comment was right, or the truth, nor did I present it as fact. It's completely fine if you don't believe anything Clyde says, that's your opinion, you are entitled to it.

    I think you care more about being right than anything else. Since you're much more invested in this than I am, keep saying what you need to say.

    Looks like Harden was trying to win this game by his damn self. 7-24 from the field 5-10 from the arc and 11-14 from the free throw line..Wow come on bruh you do have a freaking team. Oh yeah 8 freaking turnovers to only 6 assist.
    Now I do understand the refs were allowing them jokers to play more physical with us and was tic tac fouls on us. But we have to do better with ball movement. When we are moving the ball and not running 90% ISO's, we are a difficult team to beat.

    Harden this one is on you and the Coach gets some blame for not sitting your ash down to calm your ash down...

    so true. The bashing and defending is so similar you could almost just substitute "Harden" for "Lin" in the posts form earlier this season and you have the current arguments

    Remember after the all-star break 2Pat and Parsons said the team should play more unselfishly and for a certain player to trust his teammates more?

    It's not going 0-4 on the last four shots, it's basically stopping what got you back into the game, not involving your teammates, and just deciding (regardless of what the defense is giving you) that I'm going to take the shot every time down the floor.

    NBA been rigged for a long ash time and when that refs wrote that book stating all the games that were fixed, the NBA made sure he did some time and got rid of his ash.

    Yep that 1st half was horrific (36 pts), a bunch of turnovers, terrible defense, no ball movement, etc etc......

    Agreed, I was thinking the same thing just the other day.
