Double OT, Curry had fouled out. They're down by a single possession. He gets an O-Reb and gets fouled by 2 Rockets, and decides to kick Harden in the face while extending his off arm as he jumps. aka "unnatural act." The NBA made a whole new rule strictly to address this, and he's still out here kicking his leg up again. Flagrant 1 called. HOU hits two FTs and a bucket on the ensuing possession--- game over.
Curry looks like shit when he isn't on fire. He's sloppy as hell with the ball and chucks some awful shots. It's like Bad Dame X 100 when Steph is missing, because he hangs his head and eventually quits trying. Dame at least tries to do other things when he's cold. KD was on fire in the first half, and in some dumbass effort to get Steph going, they went away from him in the third. KD then lost his rhythm and it killed em. Klay was awful as well (4-20 from the field really??). All this talk about regression to the mean, Steph is a candidate that no one really talks about. After two seasons of ridiculous play, he has come down to mortal levels-- still a top 10 player, but not a unanimous MVP. Also. Warriors look beatable. Need a bunch of shooting, a good rebounder/rim protector, and lengthy defenders.
Thanks for the posts recapping this game. I got a newborn right now, so no late nights staying up and watching TNT basketball. Kid duty!
Brooklyn at it again: http://basketball.realgm.com/wireta...atas-Motiejunas-To-Four-Year-$37M-Offer-Sheet Nets Sign Donatas Motiejunas To Four-Year, $37M Offer Sheet DEC 2, 2016 7:43 PM The Brooklyn Nets have signed Donatas Motiejunas to a four-year, $37 million offer sheet. With Motiejunas being a restricted free agent, the Houston Rockets have 72 hours to match. Adrian Wojnarowski reports Motiejunas' deal includes two non-guaranteed years on the back end. The Rockets traded Motiejunas to the Detroit Pistons last February but the trade was later rescinded following concerns about the condition of his back.
Lovely... As a ref you really want to avoid these kind of interactions. But one of the cardinal (unwritten) rules of refereeing is: Never take baggage out of the game. In other words, never leave a game saying "I should've T'd him/her". If a tech is warranted, hand that MF out. It's not given, it's earned. All that said, I can't STAND Doc Rivers...
And a testament to how a bad boy on a good team isn't always bad. We could use one or two with attitude.
Indiana playing really well right now against the Clippers in LA. Still only the 3rd quarter though. But I think they will end up being pretty good by the end of the year.
