A regular season team is one who loses to a clearly worst team (based on regular season performance) in an earlyish round of the playoffs. Not sure HOU has done much of that TBH.

Still probably the craziest buzzer beater in playoff history. I know some buzzer beaters had more at stake but that's just an impossible shot.

still, for my money, this craziest last 30 seconds of a playoff basketball game i have ever seen

the shot that duncan hit to put the spurs up by one with .4 left was incredible as well

Absolutely. That was fun basketball. Wish we could back to seeing more of that. Instead of rip move 3 point foul shots.

Also I've heard making roughly half your foul shots can have an adverse effect on winning basketball games

So, like 1 that has the 3rd most wins but 16th most playoff wins...got it.

I'm sure Houston fans would love it if an opponent was granted 3-4+ 3pt foul attempts a game. I'm sure you would applaud it and the refs.

Houston granted OKC their fair share of free throw attempts in the spirit of fairness

Harden is the first player since Jordan in 1990 to start the playoffs with 3 straight 35+ point games
Can someone please explain the significance of this to me?

I understand that stats like this pop up ALL the time and most all of them are silly and can be picked apart a bit.

But the parameters in this one make it ridiculous.

Harden can get 35 most any night he wants. 3 in a row isn't newsworthy. I doubt he even cares. And to start this newsworthy streak it has to start in the first game? Who cares? And it was only 3 games.

I don't get it.

Hey we don't care that you don't know how to define regular season team. We gonna use the generally accepted one.

It just means that he has had an impressive start to the playoffs. You are on team hater so your first instinct is to diminish it.

Is he also having a shite finish to the series?

Shooting 34% from the field and 21% from 3 in these last 2 games.
