On flagrant fouls they should give the foulee the choice on whether to let it go, just to add drama

Let me warn you about Ayton. He'll do this thing where every now and again he'll give you a game or a half where he reminds people of what a great player he could have been - only to then revert back to sleep walking through the next game.

It's like that thing they did to torture prisoners in the dark knight rises, where they put them in a cave they can't climb out of so they can see freedom but can't reach it.

That's the problem with fronting a big. If a guy drives, the paint is wide open.

I know that we don't care about travels anymore, but Reaves didn't even try to keep that pivot foot down on that pump fake. :lol:

Legend has it AR is still clapping. That brief stint with Smart and Vando in the second quarter woke this team up.

I wish I could find the clip, because it was a pretty crazy one. We've seen worse (SGA), but both feet fully off of the ground is pretty wild. Not even a slight against Reaves (he's torching Minnesota this game), just wish the NBA would clamp down a bit more on it.

Keeping it real, Naz Reid couldn't guard a stationary bike. Every minute that I have to watch him play defense is pure torture.

Should've been a Wemby triple double. Didn't register at least one block. Shame. We'll console ourselves with the W.

Harden shooting 100% from 3. He’s only missed one shot. 26 points in first half.
