    Lovely Doom Cookie. Can't believe in my excitement I spelled Reaves wrong. Anyway, love some Suns doom!

    I actually think Reaves goes into to score but doesn't avoid the contact knowing he can get the foul call. For me he always looks like he is trying legit score. Harden ran into the paint, flailed his arms and looked like he was never going to get a shot off. CPflop just ran into people and fell again never looking like he was going to finish. I like Austin taking it to the defense and forcing the refs to make a call. I also don't feel he flops from contact. He wants to score imo.

    But he is a no-name to other teams fans so the foul calls have to be infuriating.

    That’s how I have tried to state the difference between Austin and what Harden was doing for the most part for so long.

    100%

    Reaves doesn’t get tick tak fouls. It’s more that he doesn’t shy away from contact, and his fundamentals are so good it doesn’t leave you much choice but to foul. He’s going to score or get hit so hard the refs have to call something.

    This is 100%. Big difference from all the floppers to looking for legit and ones. I didn't see anything ticky tack at all. Just some good smart ball from a heads up player.

    My sentiments exactly. Reaves gets knocked to the ground on most of the calls. Doesn't complain about it. Walks to the charity stripe to do the business. Quickest foul shooter I've ever seen BTW. No strange rituals there.

    Reaves gets a lot of calls for a role player, but like others have stated, he's actually trying to score. It's crazy how good he is at drawing fouls....if he keeps this up, it's going to frustrate A LOT of opposing team's fan bases. I know I would be frustrated if Reaves was on the opposite side doing this to us.

    let me be clear: i think he sometimes gets into the paint with scoring as a secondary option. so maybe more like ginobili than harden. it's not a natural basketball play to beat a guy and then get in his path and stop for a short jumper. that's why opponents get frustrated, imo.

    whatever, i'm glad it's one of our guys getting these calls finally. people get to hack lebron and AD whenever they want.

    This. It's actually nice to get these types of calls because we kinda never have.

    LeBron/AD get hacked all day - let's get an annoying player that draws fouls to frustrate the opponent for once.

    Great game we HAD to win. Not many OKC fans anymore. I remember back in the day when KD, Russ and Harden played their forums were hopping.


    Same city, same result.



    Luck for what?….that you are smart enough to find your way back.



    And the Lakers just sharpened their scissors.




    His name is Darin Ham and he makes everything better for the other team.



    Sure you can. Just do it while wearing a skirt in LA. Just ask Westbrook.



    He was awesome this game.



    Grown man move.


    I guess cause you’re leaving him open.



    You live in Oklahoma. It’s not like there are better things to do on a Friday night.



    Someone on our team, making wide-open shots, imagine that. It’s a thing of beauty.



    No worse than rooting for OKC.



    Sweet.


    Boo-hoo…going home to their 20 million dollar mansion is a bummer.




    That deep bag would have been filled with 84 million but …..



    Live by the inbound, die by the inbound.



    You have to make it there first.




    You should make it the daily special for the month of April.

    Here’s some Mavs doom by special request @KobeJeterKaep .

    You can be in the Mensa society along with Kyrie.



    Not as miserable as their fans because their checks still cash.


    Way to hit the off season out of the park.



    You’re just learning this? No Mensa group for you.



    I think for basketball reasons, Cuban should be made to keep Kidd.


    I’d give you every trade asset we have for the next 10 years.



    You thought they were winnable but that was before they traded for Kyrie.


    I told you 88 would be the charm lol.



    Well, done and crispy.



    I didn’t know Julius Randle played for the Mavs.


    16 threes, wow.



    Hollywood needs actors, come on down Luka.



    And neither is your team.



    Ignorance is bliss.



    They just outtanked you.


    Are your arms longer than T-Rex?



    Lakers could teach their own class sometimes.



    Have you ever seen a nice yellow jacket or hornet?



    They could be both.



    Ouch.




    Kidd won a championship with Dallas, does that count?




    Kidd would be dead if fans had their way.


    Levelheaded yes.



    Wheels are round. Kyrie doesn’t like round things.



    No you don’t. The Mavs are just multitalented.




    That would be like I trifecta of doom.



    Reggie Bullock poster?? Where do you get it at the dollar store?



    Yes please but he’d have to lose some of that whining that he does.



    Even bugs bunny would be embarrassed and hiding in a hole.

    Cuban is happy though, he got Irving out of the Lakers’ nose, thwarting them again:Laugh:

    right?! gotta think that was a joke to begin with? if so, well-played.

    i think cuban was just desperate to get a second star in there with luka. but i'm not sure luka needs a second star. get him one more reliable playmaker for when he's on the bench and surround him length and defense. they basically had that, though.

    Who is afraid of the big bad timberwolves? Not LL Cool J and not the Showtime Mamba that is fo sure.

    [​IMG]

    Also Scott Foster had no alibi when the World Trade Center was bombed.


    I am sad, but I think it will be okay. (Spoiler alert this man was not ok, plus his dog died)

    Ngl I watched that whole collapse with no emotion. I’m at peace injuries f***ed our szn simply too much to overcome not enough games they played together ant clearly isn’t healthy it truly sucks (I think he had the same reaction when he watched the Titanic. He was surprised the boat sunk)

    Man what a waste of time watching this team so many games. Just piss it all away in the second half. (why pander to the fans when you can pampers to the fans?)

    KAT is a loser (this comment made Karl Anthony Frowns)

    Kat sucks the energy from the room. He doesn't allow for any team ball. When has he ever shown to be a winning player and he still thinks he should get the ball 90% of the time. (Was he a Westbrick fan growing up?)

    Rudy is f***ing cooking (the French Meth is called "Le Delusional")

    Uh oh - we're up by 10. Time for the Lakers to sub in the refs? We have 10 FT, they have 7 at the half... (Obviously we didn't bribe the refs enough with all our gold toilets and hundred dollar bill toilet paper)

    They really just let McLaughlin shoot them out of the game (fun fact his father was a storm trooper in episode 4 a new hope )

    Who else is ready for the refs to put on a show? Already got my Scott Foster jersey on (Foster should send him a commemorative whistle inscribed with the two magic words "blow me" )

    Refs are currently huddled up around a pentagram talking in tongues (witch refs? Maybe trying to summon Tim Donaghy for a bribal party)

    unreal. the wolves have AD down on a heap on two straight possessions and give up transition opportunities the other way both times! thats one of the single worst sequences of the season (We understand Justin Timberfan, we have been yelling man up at AD for three seasons and it just won't work sometimes he won't even get off the bench)

    NEW GAME PLAN: Rudy just makes snowmen directly under the hoop for the entire game (Frenchy the snowman)

    Vando and Okogie making 3s against us, come on now. (cue welcome back Kotter theme tune)

    Why wasn't Davis called for 3 seconds? (because he is worth at least 5 firsts)

    f*** the Lakers. f*** the Lakers. f*** the Lakers. Let’s get em boys (We sure have pretty mouths, Timberwolves seeking a little "Deliverance")

    Gobert getting hit in the face with no call, what a shock (that was for inventing covid and giving it to the Chinese Pepe le Spew)

    Rudy Abdul Jabbar (That is Robert Sacrilege)

    Up 10, good game flow, good officiating. Good night, turning it off, only downhill from here. (Respect he called it like a pro)

    PIease guard Beasley. He got revenge in his soul rn (mwhahahahahahah)

    Does it surprise anyone that Beasley is going to have his best game in the last month against us lmao (quick Laker fans hide your pitchforks Beasley did it)

    Gobert haters got nothing to say right now, that man is putting in work (just wait till the end of the game where Gerard Depardieu will Depardon't)

    Imagine paying to watch this then driving home in a blizzard (imagine betting on the timberwolves to win and then imagine no possessions and no religion too)

    Kat throwing up complete nonsense (maybe he has Kat (can't) scratch fever)

    This game was lost when finch didn’t call a time out and let McLaughlin waste 5 straight offensive possessions. (that sure helped us out with the missed 3's, probably some of the worst possessions since Linda Blair , Max Van Sydow and "the exorcist" )

    KAT has such a low IQ (spoiler alert his nickname was his life hack because he can't spell or remember his full name)

    Lakers have the most toxic fan base in the nba (and then someone else commented Philly has entered the chat.)

    Anthony “help I’ve fallen and can’t get up (for 5 minutes)” Davis (Anthony i've fallen and my a** has been glued to the bench for half a season Davis)

    The AD injury play will haunt me forever. This team became so stupid in 2 mins. From the best looking I have seen them to the dumbest all because they were worries about the other team’s player. When the ball is live that is not your job (you are just lucky when he fell his shrapnel from his el destructo exploding ankle did not hit you)

    Ant can't do a got damn thing today. (that ant man)

    I've learned over the course of my HS coaching career that sometimes you have to give credit to the other team when bad s*** happens.

    Lakers locked the f*** up on D and completely threw us off our rhythm. Gotta give them some credit too despite how pathetic our offense was. (thank you and good day sir)

    GOBERT!!!
    Gobert???

    Houston 'we have a problem' no jk we have no problem defeating you, here is another rocket from the crypt filled with DOOM.

    Boban needs more touches (Boban is lonely and evidently posting requests for physical love on the internet now)

    This sub is so toxic. Y’all should be better. Yes, we are hard to watch, but there’s guys in this thread that are commenting on every possession something negative. Must be a pretty miserable life you’re living if all you can see is negativity. (oh the huge manatee)

    AD and Sengun in some brotherly romance s*** lmao (with brothers like that who needs enemas)

    We better pray we get that #1 pick (Jesus says no as Victor is praying you don't and cancels your prayer out)

    Inexcusable that the Lakers had no bigs on the floor, but we would not give Sengun an entry pass. (You are playing chess while you play checkers, you are playing handball while we play Ham ball)

    Embarrassing that a much older team is simply out hustling us. (You just don't have the horses. We could make a Mike D'Antoni trade and get your entire team, i.e your team is worth seven seconds (round picks) or less)

    Would love a W today. Hate the lakers (sorry for you Sesame Street is brought to you by the letters L (loss), T (tank) and D (doom)

    Hakeem Olajuwon and Yao Ming are going to destroy the Lakers. (Yeah sure and Rudy Tomjonavich is going to get in the first punch

    pathetic. People at the Y play better D (I think the village people may explain the love of D at the YMCA)

    Disgusting holy s*** (Picture that a dookie with a halo)

    KOBE Keep preaching that! I want Kob on the Rockets! (these guys must have fell out of the same Delorean that the Yao and Hakeem dude did)

    Jalen is so elite at creating space (like the space between fans in attendance, your Houston Rockets!)

    the amount of d*** riding Lebron/lakers fans that show up is always sickening (They must censor that on the broadcasts)

    Hachimura is cooking us tonight (his specialty grassfed scrubs)

    2nd to last home game ;( Let’s get this L (made me laugh)

    Lets go Rockets! Lets get a competetive L (life goals)

    Davis 0 pain tolerance LMAOOO (our secret is out)

    KPJ is an absolutely horrendous floor general (more of a flaw general)

    See how they still score so easily with garuba in and sengun out? Garuba is a great defender and sengun is bad granted, but there are problems beyond that. Defence is a team effort (How cute, talking like he is watching a relevant team)

    Bro f*** off. We getting sonned by Reaves xD (MVP Reaves playing the league sonning players like Shawn Kemp, the HBK is like a walking talking, falking paternity suit this season)

    Damn Lebron (the only thing damnable on Lebron is his hairline, and with modern sharpies, marker pens and space age velcro that thing has gone to Hell and back again)

    If Silas was a real coach he would have been on his team’s a** about not getting back on a make. Sengun and KPJ are just standing there as AD runs back on the shot. Disgraceful defense (fake coaching, fake hustle, fake fanbase)

    Our only rim protector is f***ing Boban and all of our guys are college kids. This is a roster construction issue as much as it is a coaching one (Boban 'the sphincter" to the rescue)

    This team reminds me so much of my son's 7th grade team. They don't run back on defense. That's a discipline thing that the coaches failed to instill in these guys. (Well both teams will not make the NBA finals)

    I dont really care who we get in the draft as long as its not some AD/Zion type player who can't stay on the floor (Hey AD can stay on the floor, he just has trouble getting off it)

    Some of these superstar calls the Lakers are getting is nuts, even that out
    Feel like the reffing has been fine today, really nothing to complain about
    Be nice if we could get a whistle (try a miniskirt and a push up bra)

    Jabari and Sengun both need to be assigned a personal trainer and chef/nutritionist to be with them 24/7 this offseason.
    They are both weak and we can alleviate a good portion of these interior D issues if they just get strong enough to keep guys from walking right to the rim.
    (I don't know 24/7 just sounds arkward)

    1, 2, 3, Cancun! (Van Exel-ent comment)

    I wouldn’t mind Austin Reaves on the Rockets (Cookie says no)

    JABARI SWISH (more like JABARI'S WISH is to leave the Rockets without having to saw off his leg)

    Idk what fantasy land some of fans are in, if this team is going to improve, we need someone who can at least pretend to protect the paint. (how about that Duke player Primer Undercoat)

    KOBE

    Just give AD a soft elbow to the kidney hell be out for the game but fine (I think on evidence of observation that would kill AD)

    This front office really think this coaching staff is it? Zero effort in playing defense (The Lakers and the front office are both undefendable it seems )

    YOUR KING IS OLD (YOUR KING IS a purveyor of WHOPPERS)

    Beat those Fakers for me! In Yosemite National Park rn. Using every shooting star to wish for a top pick, decent free agent signings, and championship worthy coach! (His wishes were heard, but instead all that Billy got was a herpes ridden grizzly bear with fatal results)

    Anthony Davis is hobbling? Must be a day that ends in “y”. (It's true)

    It is though to single out only one player, while our defense as a team is mostly horrible. Rockets needs better coaching, only then we can speak for sure. (this is the epitaph on your losing season evildoer)
