    gordon gets bodychecked going to the rim = no call

    rockets defender drops a bead of sweat on schroder = 2 free throws.

    I'd bet a lot of players would play the same level of defense if they were allowed to bump as much as he does. The hands up by Dort is an illusion, he's always moving and bumping and forces contact without having established a legal guarding position.

    Yep Gordon gets tons of contact

    But Gordon doesn't flop & contort his body. He just barrels into people full speed. Unlike LouWill, Schroeder, CP3...who are excellent contact exaggerates.

    We need guys to man up too. Get baskets any means necessary. Jeff Green and Westbrook gotta finish.

    Remember though... Lou Dort is amazing at defense.

    MDAs coaching brilliance is matched by Donovan’s. Lol. If he played Dort a lot less the Thunder would be up by 10. Harden is still getting his.

    Quit b****ing about the refs. It’s 9-6 as far as FT go. I’m so tired of Rocketa fans crying wolf every time Houston ***** the ****ing bed. Maybe if many didn’t overrate Houston and underrate OKC this wouldn’t be an issue. They blow leads because they lack a proper system and don’t focus on defense for a full game.

    Green is at his best when he is playing as a point forward. Westbrook is very rusty. Getting Green involved is a must. Ben should be given a chance to get hot as long as he is playing adequate defense.
