Yeah and one thing I sort of agree with Simmons and Zach Lowe on is that the refs don't seem to be as afraid to go against the home team as much anymore.

I think the 3 worst officiated games against the Grizz team I have seen this year were at home.


And I think this goes back to their other point that crowds just aren't as crazy/loyal as they once were. It's the StubHub era. Referees aren't afraid of business men and their clients.

I think there are plenty of loyal/crazy fanbases, but the league is also more corporate and visible than it once was. Ref crews that blatantly favor the home team will be quickly found out and roundly criticized/out of a job. So they make the tough calls these days out of necessity, home crowd histrionics be damned.

I love how we all listen to BS Report.

As for the Spurs, Kawhi and Tony are just getting into the groove.The Spurs run IS coming soon.

Harden is going to win the MVP if the Rockets can right the ship. I'd let Smith play the 5 in stretches just to keep him close to the rim. Monti needs to play big too.

How about the Jeff Green DotN!
