Ferguson is having one of those days where every shot looks super rushed. Like he's shooting it on the way up or something.
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

Well abrines had the craps for two weeks. With Ferguson leaving the game sick yesterday it probably means Alex will be a game time decision by tuesday.
Reality is parodying itself.
At least he can’t take the last second shot today

If it works out doesn't really matter does it?

I guess not, I just wish other players were officiated the same way or he was officiated like other players

Re: 12/25 | G33: Oklahoma City Thunder at Houston Rockets - 2PM CST
Anybody see that bull call on Grant when he was guarding Harden on the fast break? Had his hands up & Harden initiates the contact and gets the call even though Grant had position. Just awful refereeing. They gotta be better about this stuff.

Nobody else on that team can do anything well on offense. Harden is carrying them hard.

Gordon can, capela can if he's involved in the pick and roll, you've got a lot of good three point shooters. We have significantly less offensive talent than they do outside of the top three.

Gordon is useless. Capela can only do something if he's force-fed by Harden. Harden is probably in an even better shape than his MVP season. He's remarkable this year.

bull three goes in and then we allow an offensive rebound and now it's a two point game. Having shooters must be nice.

Stop giving them 2nd chance points.

Harden is carrying them because nobody else touches the ball, they just create space for him to iso.

Yeah, we're not winning this one. Rockets in complete control.

Re: 12/25 | G33: Oklahoma City Thunder at Houston Rockets - 2PM CST
It must be nice to have a completely open lane every time you have the ball. Has Presti considered trying something like that?

Westbrook's FT shooting makes my stomach hurt.

Seeing Russ doing vintage Russ things feels good.
