So Dwight does that...gets nothing.
Jr got two games, for the same thing.

Curry about to check in. Warriors got lucky with that one.

Legally that is what they have to call it or he would be done for the game.Ytowngirlinfla;1730809 wrote:Calling it a head contusion for Curry.

You can't tell me though he didn't have a concussion. He was definitely off for a while when he came back. Must be worth it for Golden State though.Sonofanump;1730823 wrote:Legally that is what they have to call it or he would be done for the game.

Sleeper, any advice for how Harden can improve after yesterday's game. He has many faults that are obviously holding his team back, just curious to hear why he sucked last night and what he can do better?

Whether he had a concussion or not, once they use the word concussion in a medical diagnosis, he can not play the rest of the game and no further games until he is cleared, therefore, he most likely had a mild concussion, but they can't say that due to league rules which are put in place to protect themselves from lawsuits from players after the fact.Ytowngirlinfla;1730825 wrote:You can't tell me though he didn't have a concussion.

Why are you even wasting your energy? There's 2 people who have been on Harden island for years (you and I) and 2 that will never admit Harden is good (Sleeper and COA). Everyone else is somewhere in between.
At this point, any argument between the 4 of us is a waste

I don't give a fuck about Harden, although I'm kind of rooting for Houston (for Terrence Jones), although Golden State would be a much better finals vs CLE.
If the Rockets somehow win the series, Harden will need to do what he did last night for 3 more games in a row, and if he does that, it will be one of the greatest playoff series performances ever.

Agreed, although I wouldn't count on it happening. This is great experience for the rockets though, if they can get and stay healthy for next year they will be legit title contenders again. Really hurts them missing Beverly for defense and montejunas for depth in this seriesAzubuike24;1730853 wrote:I don't give a fuck about Harden, although I'm kind of rooting for Houston (for Terrence Jones), although Golden State would be a much better finals vs CLE.

I'm wondering if Howard is going to get suspended.

I hope not, bogut was clearly pushing him right in the back pretty hard. If they are gonna suspended Howard then I think they should suspend bogut as well. Intentionally pushing someone in the back is not s basketball player either.Ytowngirlinfla;1730860 wrote:I'm wondering if Howard is going to get suspended.

If you watch the sequence, Howard pushed Bogut, Bogut shoves Howard quite a bit harder, and then Howard throws the arm at Bogut's facial region (although he wasn't looking). However, JR Smith got suspended two games for a very similar action. I don't see how the NBA could suspend JR two without Howard even getting a 1 game suspension.gport_tennis;1730862 wrote:I hope not, bogut was clearly pushing him right in the back pretty hard.

Yea, I just watched the full play for the first time. I guess you could say Howard started it, the push and bear hug by bogut was just ridiculous Haha.Dr. KnOiTaLL;1730864 wrote:If you watch the sequence, Howard pushed Bogut, Bogut shoves Howard quite a bit harder, and then Howard throws the arm at Bogut's facial region (although he wasn't looking).

I don't actually think either should be suspended. At some point pushing someone in the back and preventing them from moving by bear hugging them has to be more than a common foul.SportsAndLady;1730878 wrote:Lol you've gotta be shitting me

Howard should be suspended but who cares anyway? The Rockets lack a true super star and its by luck only that they are even this far in the playoffs. I expect GSW to seal it up in Game 5 and then the Rockets will fade into obscurity until they get a real super star in there. Maybe KD will go there because he's been pretty successful at carrying 6th man and overrated centers to the NBA finals.

Tyus Jones would be a good fit for the Rockets. Harden has the ball in his hands too much for them to win a title. I actually think his percentages and value would go up. Lets be real though, Houston didn't sign up for Dwight Howard to be so volatile and inconsistent. He can dominate or be unreliable. To blame Harden for them solely only reaching the WCF because he's not good enough is stupid. Imagine having Beverley guarding Steph in this series and the extra 3-point shooting help.
