re: NBA Thread 3/26 (Westbrook vs. Harden)

while Howard has mainly been a good citizen, he has not fit with the team at ALL on offense

One might say he doesn't fit in any offense that utilizes the entire team.

Harden isn't even looking to score today.

They could sit him all game if Dekker keeps playing this well offensively and defensively.

Westbrook is playing well, but you could barely tell right now the rest of his team is playing so bad.

OMG Houston will score 80 in a half

Rockets routing them, so this thread is dead of course.

Watching Houston when they are playing well is as good as it gets.

Playoffs they are going to romp.

Houston throwing haymakers

These refs always calling no shot attempts on these fouls from near midcourt annoy the F out of me. It's a foul, Harden was shooting, very obviously.

the MVP not out here throwing up empty stats.

Its the wrong call to the letter of the law, It's the right call in reality Harden is only attempting the shot once he is fouled

Disagree.

There should be a way to combat and make people pay for basically every infraction. Shooting like that is how to combat it, it's pretty lame to take away that option.

Because if we want to get technical, that's really an intentional foul, but Harden should be rewarded for the heady play.
