    Man when I saw Leonard going iso on Tucker I was relieved, I knew the game was done at that point, that's how much I trust PJ.

    If you're talking about Webber, he was actually taking a shot at Harden's detractors for the constant diminishment of his greatness with BS reasons like "he plays boring basketball".

    It's fine, I'm sure he's having fun. He was on the bench tonight and looked excited and engaged :D

    when he gets back we're headed towards Predator levels of dangerous.

    He could challenge the foul call.

    The game was close though and there was still plenty of time. It's a tough judgment call to make so early in the fourth if the game goes down to the wire.

    Doc didn't think Lou would lose his head completely either.

    Crazy thing is Rockets were locking up early then got cute and fell off for a quarter. I swear they think a couple quarters of defense is enough. A locked in Rockets is scary.

    Kawhi has one of the best gigs in sports. Loved when he wins, never blamed when he loses.

    He had some low key big moments and played much better D tonight than he had been. Still need more points out him though. he's gotta get that 3 ball working again !

    Oh yeah you can but Lou was immediately heated and it escalated simultaneously. Not sure doc even had enough time to actually consider challenging at that moment. While also trying to get lou and situation leveled

    You have to live with some of the crazy errors. But Harden was right to get Russ out of there and demand that he think. Bev’s only real contribution is getting under an opponent’s skin. Just let him leave and be irrelevant

    I wonder what would have happened if he did challenge it.

    I bet it would have been confusing? Obviously the call gets reversed...and then they would argue that since the call was reversed the tech wasn't deserved? I know the tech and the call is different but I really do feel if the refs get a call wrong like that and it is reversed then the tech for arguing that they got the call wrong shouldn't really count unless player crossed a line and pushed a ref or something.

    Tuck did a fantastic job staying on the floor after his 5th foul.

    Tucker defense is an art! It's not the first time he stays on the floor after 5, he knows how to lock down without fouling, the man is underrated af.

    Resting Westbrook, even if he's hot, is a good coaching decision IMO. Dude is still recovering from an injury, so it's sure ain't stupid to rest him cautiously. Good move coach!
