Dude, he has 6FTs to Harden 12FTs and getting he's it as much.


If not more.

Harden acts like he got shot after every touch.


Good. Back to you normal self?

What was up with the trolling? A couple of time was good, but it was getting out of hand.

Rockets' gameplan is so stupid: they just want to outscore Mavs without playing D. But they forgot that Mavs' have best offensive efficiency in the league.

I admit that this is game over for the NBA if Giannis becomes respectable and consistent in the 3 points.


So he will be a kawhi or LeBron finally?


Ya a 7 ft one dude those two wish they could rebound and play D like him.


LeBron plays better Defense while being 10yrs older. Kawhi plays great defense lmao i don't know what you're talking about? Giannis would love to be able to pass like LeBron and have a 3pt shot or Kawhis elite mid range/free throws.

Giannis is even not better then a healthy Durant

The offensively challenged magic scored 70+ points in the first half.

What's going on?

Fresh legs? But only on offense. Rusty legs on defense.

Dude, he has 6FTs to Harden 12FTs and he's getting hit as much. There's 54 FTA in this game so far... and your take is that Luka is getting so much touch fouls his way? Lol.
He's not but okay...

This game, like so many others, is having way more fouls called than average. The refs are making this problematic.

Westbrook is not an All NBA player. Sorry. He gets blocked easily at the rim, bricks a corner 3 and doesn't even put a hand up on Delon shooting a 3 in his face.

My best guess/theory is just the overall setting and conditions. It's August (pretty much). Players' minds and bodies are used to being in vacation mode this time of year while slowly ramping up off-season conditioning at the same time because the preseason is typically about a month away. You also have even more wildly varying degrees of the overall conditions of the players because not every player had the same access to workout and shooting facilities. On top of that, despite the phenomenal job the NBA did to get all of this set up, the players are basically playing in a high school or small college gym. The overall environment has a scrimmage/Orlando summer league feel too it.

I'm a teacher who has to go back to in-person teaching in a few weeks. I've been home for almost five months. I'm nowhere near the same mental mindset I'm normally in by the beginning of August and I don't have to be in peak physical condition to do well at my job. I can't imagine where NBA players minds are in regards to feeling like this is "the real deal".
