    Maybe a small fine on Kanter and Ariza, but that should be it. Players leaving the bench after the game is over doesn't warrant a suspension. Especially considering they're supposed to leave when the final buzzer sounds.

    damn, glad they won, but it shouldn't have been so close. They have to make their free throws.

    not really because what if Westbrook would've made it...he had a pretty good look after Brewer thought he fouled him. We would've cursed the refs for not calling it. The refs gave the Thunder a better chance at tying it by not calling it. Remember the Thunder had no timeouts and it was only 3 seconds left.

    1sr, good win. No NBA games are gimmes.

    2nd, we shot about 50% from the ft line. Totally unacceptable. This is on the coaching staff. Get all of them to practice fts where it does become a major liability.

    Nailed it. If they are going to follow his triple dubs, they need to start following how many of his triple dubs led to a loss.

    Not sure what harden was thinking in the 4th quarter there. No recognition of having 5th foul?

    Nothing there really. He & Kanter just got locked up going for the rebound. Nothing intentional from either.

    For a team that was "clearly" outmatched, it's interesting that we were in the lead the whole game and pulled out with a win without having our best player on the floor. :rolleyes:

    I couldn't see clearly. Was that a foul on brew or was that ball?

    But Dorsey is a lousy free throw shooter. That's priced into him as a player at this point. Dwight can do better. Smith has done better(he hit 2 at the end against Dallas). Clint is just starting out in the league. So McHale is gonna have to play guys he can rely on to make at least one of two. Right now, that would exclude Dorsey and Capela.

    It is not one spot. You forget the east teams with terrible records in the play offs.

    It's been like this all season. Love this team but they fly in the face of everything I ever learned after watching the NBA for 25 years. Poor FT shooting, average 3 point shooting for the number they shoot, poor assist/TO ratio, lack of a mid range game....

    Maybe it's just Harden or Morey is a genius....

    To me it was all ball, but brewer's intention was to foul immediately.

    Pretty sure it was a foul. Maybe the refs wanted to go home early, so they swallowed the whistle.

    It's not just 1 spot. If the Pelicans make the playoffs, their pick falls behind all Eastern Playoff teams.
