    Or people should stop hitting you in the face?

    Durant hits Paul on the 3 and gets a transition dunk instead of the foul call. The Rockets do get away with a ton of contact on defense, particularly when they play small, but the Warriors really do seem to play by completely different rules.
  3. goatsaag
    All season Paul (and then right there Harden) are so casual bringing the ball up the court with less than 5 seconds left and have to throw up something past half court instead of actually moving the ball up the floor to get a better look
  4. goatsaag
    He is shooting the ball and getting fouled.
  5. goatsaag
    klay did it again
  6. goatsaag
    already some insanely late whistles on very obvious foul calls
  7. goatsaag
    Capela has to leave Bogut at the 3 point line to stop the Durant dunk
  8. goatsaag
    I'm curious to see if the Warriors are willing to give Bogut any minutes when Harden is in the game.

    Definitely weird seeing Shumpert get in so early and Nene over Faried when we started Faried at PF against the Warriors for a game in the regular season and used him as the primary defender on Durant in that game.
  10. goatsaag
    Sending a double to try to get a steal before immediately fouling is reasonable but you have to at least do something there.
  11. goatsaag
    They just gave up down 4 with like 28 seconds left? What?
  12. goatsaag
    They had the 5th best record in the West, were 4 games behind 2nd, and had what, the 3rd best record in the league after the all star break? They're as good as any team in the West outside of Golden State and Houston and might be better.
  13. goatsaag
    The Rockets played two good offensive games, no good defensive games, and still beat probably the 3rd best team in the West in 5 games. I'll take it but Harden is going to have to step it up against the Warriors.
  14. goatsaag
    Going to just a 7 man rotation in the 2nd half was definitely frustrating. If Capela is ineffective, you'd think Faried (or Nene) would get some time and if we're going to play Tucker at center to go small for significant stretches, probably need Green to get more than 3 minutes in the half and/or work in Shumpert.
  15. goatsaag
    Curry trying to be a hero forcing the 3 for no reason.
  16. goatsaag
    I would argue that a defense isn't "working" when the intended result is a wide open corner 3 for Tucker, a lob to Capela, or a layup by Harden even if those shots happen to miss. That's not a plan that is sustainable at all. They were basically conceding to give the Rockets the exact shots they want instead of just trying to play actual defense on Harden.
  17. goatsaag
    This gimmick defense the Jazz are trying to play against Harden is not working at all.
  18. goatsaag
    The Blazers winning the 4th quarter by 20 only playing 6 guys with 3 of them playing the full 48 minutes is pretty crazy.
  19. goatsaag
    I don't understand at all why Portland wants to play the Jazz in the first round for the chance to play the Warriors in the 2nd. I also don't think the Thunder will give the Rockets any trouble in the first round if that is the match up. 6 games max but I kinda doubt it gets that far.
  20. goatsaag
    The Jazz probably don't want the Rockets to fall to the 4 seed either. They definitely would rather play Portland than Houston in the first round.
  21. goatsaag
    I don't know who those people are. Harden is the first player ever to average 35+ and 7+ (to go along with his 6 rebounds). He scores 8 more points per game than the next highest scorer in the league. He's also one of the most successful post defenders in the league while being number 2 in steals. And the Rockets are #3 in the West. They only have 7 less wins than the Bucks with more important injuries and a tougher schedule. Giannis has had a great year. If this was a year of two ago, he'd be just as deserving as Harden. The only argument people can make is "best player on best team" which is not even an argument and "but Harden doesn't play defense" which is a tired narrative that isn't true. Giannis is a great player having a great year. He shouldn't be (but will be) the MVP.
  22. goatsaag
    If this was Harden two years ago, sure, give it to Giannis. But Giannis absolutely does not deserve MVP over this Harden no matter how great of a season Giannis is having. This isn't a thing where they are both just so close it's over to pick one. Giannis is having a ridiculous year, but Harden is even better and it's not close enough to just be a pick em.
  23. goatsaag
    It's insane that Harden can have the season he's had and people are still trying to come up with ways to not give him the MVP.
  24. goatsaag
    You seem to misunderstand what Whataburger offers. They have a honey bbq chicken strip sandwich and a buffalo chicken strip sandwich. These aren't chicken sandwiches but are chicken strip sandwiches. If you don't like a chicken strip sandwich, you probably want to order one of the chicken sandwiches on the menu instead. Those don't have chicken strips in them.

    The point is that you're getting too caught up on the words "right back" and missing that he is actually doing a lot more than that on the field. He isn't confined to the sideline or to defense in this "right back" position. He's in the middle of the field a ton in this role.
