Was talking to myself


I would imagine that’s pretty regular. You don’t need to also do it on a web forum.

Rockets defeat OKC in OT to win their 10th straight. Actually really crazy how much better they’ve played as a team since Sengun went down. Jalen Green is finally having his coming out party.

If the Lakers won a nationally televised game with that many contested calls going in their favor instead of the Clippers, this thread would be in shambles.


I'm thoroughly enjoying these posts.

Against the Lakers, Maxey would've been called for a walk. Lettuce be cereal.



Like I said, I don't think the refs were one sided at all. I think it was a fairly called game, and a good win for the Clippers. I'm just saying, assuming the calls went the same exact way and it was the Lakers, realgm would be losing it's **** right now. Am I wrong?

Good game, Thunders.

I don't hate seeing the Rockets get the win to keep the play-in race interesting. Great game from the Thunder though, playing without Shai and Chet out with foul trouble. Loved watching J-Dub crunch time possessions and some Giddey theatrics.

Mike Malone is upset but he really shouldn't be. He was the one that put this unit out there. Terrible coaching.

Clippers had 14 free throws vs 16 of Sixers. If this were the Lakers they would have 32

Houston needs to trade Jalen away to a team that will properly use him instead of focusing on a low character/empty calorie guy.

Dare I say the officiating in the Houston/OKC game was consistent. They were not calling touch fouls in that late fourth quarter through overtime either way, so you had to earn your buckets. We got high level shotmaking in a close game. Great game.

Yeah there’s a few I’d complain about but I also felt OKC had a couple no calls so you’re probably right.

In March 2024? Green's like a top three player. Giannis, Jokic, Green.

Maybe Doncic.

For this NBA season, Jalen Williams is the much better player. And that’s before we get to defense where the disparity is much greater.
