    Anyone who's saying it's antagonizing to "run" up the score needs to remember this game, Rockets VS Mavericks 76-116.

    What does it matter if we were trying to take open shots and take 3's? Pride my left toe, tell your team to play some defense Marc Jackson and you won't have to resort to fouling the other team in the final minutes of play. If we were on the receiving end I would definitely be more frustrated and disappointed in my team vs the opponents team. That being said it's not like we had our starters out there to try to pat their stats (See KEVIN GARNETT).

    Anyone notice Green shoved the kid's arm out of the way when he got ejected?

    And Mayor Parker looked really into it. Seems like she's really into the game/sport.

    Going for an all-time NBA record is understandable. Running up the score by going for one more three? Nah. Warriors should be pissed at themselves for sucking.

    they are the scrubs and they are in the game to close it out. there is a shot clock. so the Warriors get upset at an uncontested dunk as well as shooting open threes? should the Rockets just have "laid down" in the final minutes?

    The Warriors didn't try to guard #'s 1-23 and now they go old school?

    bush league, man.

    Old school claim by Mark Jackson is ridiculous. Golden State totally laid down because they opt'ed to intentionally foul instead of play defense. They ran up the score up on themselves by doing everything they could to prevent a made 3pt shot. If my memory is right, when Greg Smith makes that post move (probably with like 3min left), it was because Golden State completely overplayed the outside. There was 4 defensive guys beyond the 3pt line and the center under the rim.

    There's a reason why Beverly had an uncontested drive to the lane to dunk it in the first place. Also, it wasn't like we were run and gunning while trying to get that last 3. We ran clock and shot the ball normally with 10 secs to go.

    Personally, I would've loved to see the Rockets intentionally foul the Warriors to get the ball back and see if he would foul them back. We could've hit 200 points!
