    i'd bet everytime he's taken an ass beating he probably thinks "if I had that 3 mil Leslie Alexander screwed me outta, then i'd be good!" Somebody like Barkley has probably 'spent' that 3 mil a couple dozen times in his head - blaming Les rather than taking personal responsibility... jus sayin... lol

    Danuel House is gonna get PAID this offseason.

    Tuck is an absolute f***in’ unit.

    Harden is the clear cut MVP.

    This Rockets squad can beat ANYONE in a 7 game series (if healthy, *knock on wood).

    HaRDeN cANt Do AnYThiNg WiThoUT ThE REfs.

    Every time we blow out the Jazz and beat them in the playoffs makes up just a little bit for how much they broke my 14-year old heart in 07-08.

    Rockets first two games at the beginning of the season against the Jazz were absolute ass and are probably skewing these numbers. Rockets are a VASTLY better team now. Jazz are the same exact team.

    Barkley choose them in 6. I didn't hear from the rest.

    And never, ever take the analysts on TNT seriously. They choose the teams they think will win based on how they like their style of play and much less on results.

    Keep in mind Barkley hates Houston going back to his playing time there. I can recall him hating HARD CORE on Yao early in his career. That was what....2002/2003?

    Hmm, to me, from the top down view, it looked like Harden lobbed the ball where about 50% of its projected circle was in the rim and 50% was out of the rim. Capela threw it down. A part of the ball was in the cylinder when Capela touched it. Possibly even the center of the ball. It seems like offensive goaltending is most likely to be called in practice when the center of the ball is within the cylinder. But the rule kind of makes it sound like any sliver of the ball being in the cylinder can lead to an infraction. But it's just not called like that. Ever.

    The rule should be tightened up and clarified, so it's not open to interpretation. If it's really any part of the ball in the cylinder, that's a 18 + 2*9.5 = 37 inch no-man's cylinder for put backs.

    I agree on the traveling. For sure.

    Competitive guys---and successful pro athletes are as competitive ad it gets---are just wired differently. See, the story about Michael Jordan cheating someone's grandma at Gin when she got up to go to the bathroom, when he was at UNC. No money on the line, no reason to cheat, but he had to win, and he hated to lose.

    Guys like that, every defeat, every minor setback, burns in them and they have to get over on whoever wronged them. Or use that rage to get better. Pathological if you ask me, but he's got the money to piss away millions at a casino, and I don't.

    Surprised Charles still feels that way but that's absolutely what it's about of course.

    Remember when Pippen came to the Rockets and complained that he wasn't getting enough shots.. Charles was quoted as saying " Hell, he's got all the money and he wants all the shots too ? "

    Huh. I dont remember the ball being that much in the cylinder when Capela grabbed it. If what you wrote's the case, then good goaltend.

    They should clarify the rule.

    nothing to be negative about this game...
    love the rotation, the shot dispersement, the defense... etc...
    folks wanna complain about the refs... and sure they missed some calls... but utah got hit a couple times with stepping out of bounds and travels... not like KD being 3 feet out of bounds with no call - lol!
