I believe he injured himself on that play too. Might miss tonight's game.

lol at KD and lebron both standing up for the refs over that late call in the GS/CLE game.

are refs not to be held accountable if they f**k up?

probably both just trying to be buddy buddy with the refs to help get future calls lol

Both are full of s**ts on this one. They have both criticized refs in the past. Hell, Durant was blaming refs after the game against Cavs (I fell and not on my own...) and now all of a sudden he thinks refs shouldn't be thrown under the bus? Lol

Give me a break. Both (and every single player) blame officials after the game.

4-18 w/o him says a lot.



On a separate note, I'm SO glad Lebron didn't get called for a tech for hanging on the rim. Trash talking and all that comes with it makes these intense rivalry games SO much fun.

Ala Chicago/NYK. Even a little Sac/LAL. The refs should back up and let the guys play a bit. With that said, KD still got fouled at the end and I have no idea how they missed that. He is a chump and woulda bricked anyway.

The whole foul thing is silly. Over the course of game - calls usually even out. Durant and Green didn't get called for two clear charges earlier in the game. Resulted in 4pts. Jefferson got hit with a T (in 4th Q) for winking lol

Fans only remember the calls that go against their team. It's like the same with everything else.

Opposing team has bunch of turnovers - "our D was f**king boss today"

Their team has bunch of turnovers - "if our team stop these careless turnovers - no one can touch us"

No one realizes - turnovers happen mostly because of good defense...even the ones that look silly and careless. Good defense weighs on the players and they overthink and get in two minds. They throw errand passes and make bad decisions because of that.

Harden

Yeah that was nuts. Only player ever with that stat line.

Moving closer to Wilt's season record FG% record.

It's just insane how much he affects shots. Hes never afraid to go for the block, even if it means he gets dunked on, which is why he has such a high number of attempts against.

Him and Westbrook are the only MVP contenders for me. Just ridiculous numbers.

They are the two best guards in NBA this season.

Wanted to vote for Embiid and Gobert but with option to only vote for 5 players in each conference - they didn't come in my 5 most deserving players.

That's pretty good too. I feel like I snubbed DeRozan. That's good list. I considered Millsap too...but Hawks are so wildly inconsistent...then again - so is Paul George (this season). I think Jimmy Butler is someone who is deserving as well of that spot.
