Honestly, I'd foul Westbrook real hard on those drives. Make him second guess on them

He's not second guessing anything if he gets fouled hard. That's not his style. Take a couple charges and he will second guess it.

Automatic flagrant 1 huh.  I don't really agree with that.  Nothing malicious there.  Some players also jump forward when they shoot.  Hard to protect them.
Blame Zaza for that.

He's not the type where that strategy would work.  If anything, he'd get even more aggressive.

You have to protect the shooters. It’s up to the defender not to let that happen. Remember how Zaza took out Kawhi? Nobody wants to see that - or for the defenders to take good shooters out of their game  by making th em wonder if they’re going to have their ankles wrecked.

All the Superstar talk has gone to Tatums head
Straight hero ball tonight
This is part of the growing pains he needs to grow through in order to make the leap, here's hoping he finds the equilibrium between shooting and passing.

This Rockets team focuses more on getting the call than actually hitting shots.

I hope they beat the Lakers in a series, but I would not be surprised if they got beat handily by either LA teams

Agree, way too many contested stepback threes for my liking.

The Celtics have let up so few bad baskets. Just 1 or 2. Every other one was well defended, contested and shors you are okay with Houston taking.

Very impressive by everyone.

Interesting to note that Steven's has trusted rookies Grant Williams and Romeo Langford but not veteran Enes Kanter

Try, though he was hitting those. I think that influenced him more than any talk.

Ugh, Tatum is playing like he's drunk out there. Way too lazy and lax on the passes.

Smart looks like an all-star against Harden

A few too many possessions with quick ill advised shots but overall great half. Love the defensive effort!
