Magic players look like some bunch of random guys that do not know each other, have no clue what they're involved in and do not want to be on the floor in Houston.

Just an ugly event tonight.

I still don't understand how people don't see Bamba's shot as an asset

Was that the first time Bamba's ever scored in the post in his career with an actual post move?

Cole with 3 consecutive assists to his buddy Bamba. It was time to witness their game on the floor together.
Finally something positive to see tonight.

He's quick, but he's a straight line driver and a two-foot leaper and that's really tough to overcome at 6'2".


Yep every drive at the minute is a lost possession, he'd be much better off trying to create some space for a jump shot, because the drives really aren't working

Hopefully just a knee to his back or something, let's see if he comes back out of the TO

I like that Bamba challenges 3 pointers. You just have to do that these days.

Nope now he's off the court obviously favouring his back. Give us a damn break

Is this first game ever that Harden didn't have any free throws?
