    They should bring Royce White back. That would be fun. Also, too bad they already got rid of Lawson. ....

    Jazz vs Toronto is big tonight. Toronto is our next opponent and I do believe they could have added motivation to win coming off a loss vs Utah. Then of course there is the seeding...

    I won't be surprised if Utah misses the playoffs.

    Rockets and Memphis both win. Jazz lose.

    Chokelahoma Shitty Blunders are doing it again, giving up a huge lead to a Western Conference opponent.

    Chokelahoma loses to the Clippers. With this meltdown and the one against the Warriors, the Blunders are becoming quite the choke artists.

    That ref should be fired. His call appears to be that Jrue moved under El Floppo, while El Floppo WAS ON TOP OF HIM. SMH. Apparently everything was fine as long as Jrue was moving forward while Floppo was riding him like a pony, but as soon as Jrue backed up a couple of steps, that's a foul on the pony. SMH

    I think the ref was calling the fact you can't completely impede a players way but Harden literaly JUMPS on top of Jrue and rides him like one of the strippers Harden is so fond of.

    What really makes this next level bad is that the NBA has announced that jumping on someone's back is a technical foul, but Harden got rewarded for it.

    It's a shame there isn't a Charles Oakley in the NBA anymore, and that Harden didn't try that on him.

    Wait they called it on Jrue Holiday? No freaking way???? They just announced a new rule that jumping on a players back is an automatic technical...

    What confuses me is how it unfolds. It doesn't appear the foul is called for impeding Harden's path. Harden tried to go across the lane, Jrue tried to get position in front of him. Harden jumped on his back. The ref is standing there watching. Everything is apparently fine in ref world so far. The ref is watching Harden riding on Jrue's back, and makes no move whatsoever, until Jrue staggers backward a couple of steps, with Harden already riding on top of his back. Then the ref calls the foul and indicates Jrue's foul is for backing into or under Harden. It's like Bizarro World.

    Someone needs to put together a YouTube of harden bs fouls. The defensive Vid were great; could do similar with those. I bet there over 100 blatant ones this year.

    But that technical is overridden by finding yourself underneath Harden's front.
