    Crazy finish between C Bags and cavs. You don't want either team to win but how the ending went down Cavs have to be thinking what the hell happened

    I watched that C-Bags, CAVS game. Kevin Love is cursed when playing against the C-Bags (suffered a thigh bruise, had to leave game with a limp). And Lebron on defense? My god... does this guy even try? Lots of times he failed to switch over and didn't even bother at all. Other times he tried to gamble so much, he would leave his man open and Tristan has to cover for him.

    And finally... that last possession with Bradley at the buzzer. Horrible, horrible defense by Shumpert. Tried to swipe the ball and leave Bradley with an open look at the basket.

    ^ his best defensive play was when Thomas went on a fast break after a steal and Bron was still under his basket. He moved of the way, Harden style :D
    Made me laugh, he could have easily challenge or even block that layup.

    don't be the team that offers big money to ezeli. two knee surgeries on a big already...buyer beware. gs may get to keep him on the cheap.

    Just wanna say, Curry is amazing. Just dribbles up, crosses midcourt, pulls up and shoots with 18 seconds left on the shot clock. Bang!

    Seriously, how do you defend that?

    I can't even watch Houston games because the officiating for harden drives me nuts. it's worse than prime wade (which was abominable).

    Still averages more FTs made than baskets made in his regular season AND postseason careers through his seventh season...

    I don't understand how the refs continue to give him free throws. What the hell? The same goes for Chris Paul's flops.

    I can understand making mistakes in the beginning, but they've been in the league for years now. Their antics should be well documented. When Ron was in any sort of altercation, he got ejected even when he didn't do anything because of his reputation.

    it's pretty clear, right? taco bell and nike and state farm say that harden and paul get fouled a lot. if harden was officiated like, say, monta ellis, he'd look a lot more like, well, monta ellis. and nobody would give a crap about him or houston.

    sorry for the conspiracy theory, but i just can't explain it any other way. the league enforces the rules very differently for harden especially. i watched them call deron williams for a charge on the classic harden drive and lurch just last night--right call, never called on harden. there's no way guys like mark cuban haven't sent film into the league office regarding this particular "interpretation" of the rules. the fact that it continues means the the league wants it to continue. when kobe started the swingthrough, they shut that down quick. which means they can and will adjust interpretations of rules when it suits them.

    getting a defender running parallel to you and then crashing into him is also an unnatural basketball act, as is initiating contact with a retreating defender, as is holding the ball out in front of you with two hands and trying to hit people's arms with yours (seriously, at least the swing through is used when defenders are already invading your space). but the nba gives the big thumbs up to those, provided you have a giant beard?
