ed well until Simmons was faced with the prospect of taking a game-winning shot.
And if last year's Smart were a way worse shooter.OKC late game offense probably shouldn't be one of the worst mid/long range shooters in the NBA taking jump shots, it's basically like if last years Smart was taking a million jump shots a game
Well, last year Smart had a lower field goal percentage overall than Russ has this year (36.7% for Smart, 41.5% for Russ), but better from deep (30.1% for Smart, 24.1% for Russ)And if last year's Smart were a way worse shooter.
I saw Simmons bringing the ball up the court at the end, and my first thought was, "Now he's going to be forced to shoot a 3." Nope! That lack-of-shot selection is going to magnify the heat he's taking for this, methinks.Simmons is terrified to shoot the ball, it's amazing.

No, no, you see he was ready to take the 3, until he saw Butler had a better shot:I saw Simmons bringing the ball up the court at the end, and my first thought was, "Now he's going to be forced to shoot a 3."

Ball on way to hospital for x-rays, the on-site machine is not working.Lakers up 15 on the Rockets in the third, 69-54. Kuzma leading the way with 26, no other Laker in double digits.
Damn, Lonzo had to be helped off the court after crashing into a defender. Hope he’s ok.
Just saw the replay on ESPN. Turned his ankle pretty bad. Couldn't put weight on it.Ball on way to hospital for x-rays, the on-site machine is not working.
He wasn't even looking to make that one. He literally took the shot, and jumped sideways to try to get a foul call, and it just happened to go in off the bank. Fucking ludicrous.Harden. Holy shit
To be fair, Ingram’s gone to the line a couple times in the fourth on some egregiously bad calls.Any time Houston gets upset with the refs, regardless of whether or not it's warranted, I just can't side with them. 50% of their offense is predicated on James Harden taking advantage of the rules.
I agree 10000%To be fair, Ingram’s gone to the line a couple times in the fourth on some egregiously bad calls.
The league is overall in a great place right now, with tremendous talent all over, great pace of play, compelling personalities and narratives - but the officiating is embarrassing.
Are you an LA fan? Eric Gordon is a good player.Seriously? Eric Gordon?
Not an LA fan, but I generally root for the underdog in situations like this, and I dislike Harden's game so much that I have trouble rooting for Houston ever.Are you an LA fan? Eric Gordon is a good player.
Good enough to one day have been the centerpiece of a trade for Chris Paul, amusingly enough.Are you an LA fan? Eric Gordon is a good player.
You don’t like Harden? Please elaborate.Not an LA fan, but I generally root for the underdog in situations like this, and I dislike Harden's game so much that I have trouble rooting for Houston ever.
Gordon's been dreadful from 3 this year.
Even against the Lakers?Not an LA fan, but I generally root for the underdog in situations like this, and I dislike Harden's game so much that I have trouble rooting for Houston ever.

Tonight? Sure. I mean, there isn't anyone on the Lakers out there tonight that I've got any real animosity towards. Think it would be cool to see them win on Houston's court.Even against the Lakers?
Was that four fouls on Zubac in the overtime period?Harden gets a 50/50 call. Shocking.
Yep. 4 in about 2 minutes. 2 of them could have gone easily uncalled, IMO.Was that four fouls on Zubac in the overtime period?
