I’m mired in the greys, but here it goes: the NBA is better with less fouls and less stoppages. Period. 

i don’t care what anyone says.

Calm.down dude. Your star is 24 and you have the youngest team in the playoffs. No need to despair. Win or lose this will be good experience for them.

The Rockets are fully the most unlikeable team in the NBA.

“Enjoy things how you like. That’s fandom.”

Let us stipulate that diving, or flopping, is not so common in hockey as it is in some other sports we could name,

Oh. Please don’t confuse my approval of the closeout rule with some high regard or sympathy for James Harden!

Generally, yes!

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

I wish TNT had every game.

You mentioned uncalled closeout fouls and then show two videos of Harden moving forward into the defender’s space during the shot. How can a defender be jumping into Harden’s space when he himself is closing the gap?

So we’re in agreeance. Dick eating all around!

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.

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

Picture a theater of almost 200 people answering all of T’Chala’s war chants. The room exploding when Captain America picked up the hammer for the first time.  That is how I describe what I saw last night. It was more than a movie it was an experience.  It was something I can talk about for years to come.  It is…

Sorry.  DC fan here and ‘Martha’ transcended any particular fandom in its stupidity.

Care to elaborate what you mean? Because as is this statement is a false equivalence. No scene in Endgame pales in comparison to the concept of Batman not killing Superman because their mom’s have the same first name.
