“Oracle Arena is far, far too loud and is clearly a violation of NBA noise ordinances. Something must be done.”

At least we’re finally getting an answer to “what would it look like if an entire organization was the old lady who complained to the HOA about your lawn?”

The memo’s smug conclusion, clearly based in Logic and Facts, frames the failure of the Rockets to hit any of 27 straight threes, and the failure of Chris Paul’s hamstring to stay healthy, as less significant than those 81 disputed calls.

It’s amazing that in that second quote they are complaining that Harden WASN’T called for a foul. I mean, if they want the refs to call every bit of incidental contact Harden makes a foul, I’m sure the league could accommodate them, but having their best player foul out eight minutes into the first quarter seems like…

The one sentiment I can definitely now agree with is that a champion Rockets team certainly would be the worst thing to happen to the NBA. 

There has to be some advanced stats person on Twitter compiling that data as we speak. I will donate $5 to a Kickstarter to publish the report on James Harden’s eventual tombstone.

I’d love to see a report of every free throw that James Harden has taken that he doesn’t deserve.

The thing about Mike Francesa is that he will say the same thing at least 15 times in a single segment. In a single segment, that is, he will say the same thing 15 times. 15 times. The same thing. 15 times. That’s really the thing. Saying the thing. 15 times. He says it. 15 times. Really, just listen to him. If you…

“You know, I’ve been a big fan of the theater for a long time. And for him to come along and do this to Ford’s Theater, is embarrassing. The worst part is that this theater is now a laughing stock and that’s sad.”

Yeah nope they could hit Harden over the head with a steel chair and I wouldn’t give a fuck

Truth on all counts.

Zero sympathy for a pair of professional flop merchant crybabies who play the basketball equivalent of Let Me Speak To Your Manager and apparently have never heard of the boy who cried wolf. Let them lose in 4.

James Harden can eat a whole bag of dicks.

The officiating in this game made it damn near unwatchable, and not because of how bad it was, but due to how Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy somehow managed to reach an entirely new level of annoying because of it.

While shooting a potential game-tying three, Harden tried to get a close-out foul called against Draymond Green and jumped forward about four feet so that he would land against his defender.

Watching James Harden not get the foul calls he’s used to is the most reliable joy the NBA playoffs can offer.

Soooo... The days of absurdly overpriced men's clothes are over. Now here's some $45-$55 casual tee shirts.

Ugh, the one of them running on the side of the hill. Kinja not like my photo.

Harden shoved George in the neck to open up a relatively clean look
