The Lilliputian Rockets have come back down to earth. James Harden and the Eleven Dwarves were hammered 127-91 by the Suns last night with Oubre and Booker going off for 72 points. The Rockets' pipsqueaks were outscored by 36 and outrebounded (defensively) by 20. They did hold DeAndre The Giant to 12 points so a moral victory there?

They were missing an All-Star in Westbrook and a good role player in Gordon lol, their scheme does work.

And on the second night of a back-to-back

That bad non-call on the goal tending at the end of Portland vs Utah should be a wake up call for the NBA on how bad there refs are! Now The NBA will fine Dame and the refs will just go on being horrid.

I still can't believe they missed that.   That's as blatant as you'll see.

I know the game moves super fast but it was pretty apparent.

Did Covington play last night for them?

The announcer called it in real time. How can the announcer see it but 3 refs missed it? The Refs should be fined for this one....

Yes he did, didn't do too badly in 25 minutes.

Referee Josh Tiven: "No, it was not reviewable since no goaltending call was made on the floor. Goaltending is only reviewable if we actually call it. The call needs to be made for a goaltending to be reviewable. We've since looked at it, via postgame video review, and unfortunately saw that we missed the play, and a goaltending violation should have been called."

Just Wow!

Watching this Warriors game tonight, I realize that this team will be right back in contention next season.

I'd even say they will be right at the levels of the Clippers/Rockets/Lakers.

You get back Klay, Curry and Draymond. Get Wiggins, and you also get potentially a Top-6 pick in the draft if it lands between 4-6. And if it does, you could draft an elite prospect, or use it in a package to land another great established player.

They're giving the Lakers a good fight tonight and Wiggins looks good.

Its going to be hard to catch the Raptors for the 2nd seed if they literally never lose again.

Yeah I'm beginning to think they might just run away with that. Doesn't help that their schedule also becomes so much easier than ours. Will be tough to even keep up with them.

You forgot to mention the Warriors own pick which will be a top 3 pick most likely.  Unless I'm off on something....

(I thought the 4-6 pick you mention was not for this year..)

They’re a good team. Kawhi is a stud but you need more than one stud to win a title... those guys have championship pedigree now. Siakam took a big step too. Still think we can edge them in the playoffs if we meet in the 2/3 matchup but it’d be nice to have home court.

Idk about that the Bucks load the paint and make you shoot 3s to beat them... It cost them a finals appearance last year Toronto rocked them 4 In a row....

Toronto however their defense is on another level they switch from zone to man to box and 1 to 3-2 and the close out on shooters they are elite on that end of the floor and both Toronto and the Bucks have shooting bigs who can space the floor.

Both of them would be tough outs but coach Bud is more stupid and can't make adjustments we all saw it in Atlanta and we now last year in Milwaukee.

All sports do this and I don't understand it.  If you are going to have replay, then you should use it to get calls right.  Period.
