I think it was the landing that hurt him, the contact with Wiggins didn't seem like it was much (i.e like a knee to the hip)

This is exactly why the Emirates Cup is dumb AF. Playing for some stupid, meaningless prize, and Booker knocks knees with John Collins when he should be out of the game, because points.

My take on it is - the games are more fun and competitive. Injuries can happen in any game.

Tiebreaker should be overall season record, not points difference over a tiny 4 game sample size.

That's fair. I think they did point difference to keep starters in longer but not worth the risks.

I'm a Houston Rockets fan, and I didn't expect them to begin the season 11-5, she nice wins, destroyed the Bulls, beat the Clippers, lost by 2 to GSW I think it was 2, blew a huge lead opening night, could be 12-4 right now, heck had they won the Warriors game they could be 13-3 now, but glad to see Sengun, Green, Smith, Eason, Thompson, Whitmore, Sheppard, FVV, Brooks all doing good, Cam needs to work on things, was down in the G-League with RGV, but got some good assets too, I just didn't expect them to be this good to begin, I know they went 41-41 last year, just missed the play-in, I think they have a real shot at a top 6 seed, more likely play in though.

IMO Harden is a big time DIVA, I always liked him as a Rocket till he started his s**t, and it began years before he was traded, he basically dictated what was happening with the roster, wanted out for years, f*ck Harden, just saying, Steph is legit, better than Harden by a mile IMO.

I liked Harden on OKC. I stopped liking Harden when the f**kery started on the court. I hate the foul baiting manner in which he started playing. He is way too talented and skilled to be playing that way.
To his credit, he has chilled out a bit on said f**kery. Still dont like him though.
