"The best thing about watching Thomas take and make whatever shot he feels like, is that he seems to know how much his Success bothers his opponents.

 He knows exactly how to get in their heads and all he has to do in order to drive them nuts is flash a glare or a bark, You can't guard me! after a bucket."



 That's a good point, he really drives people nuts!

Loved seeing Morris look so clueless while guarding IT, and then looking helpless as IT took the open look shots and drained them.

IT really got back at him after the little tussle earlier on involving IT, Morris and the refs.  :laugh:

It's true, and also reminds me of how, despite some valid grumbling about implementation, the flagrant foul system has been effective at improving the game, especially in the playoffs.

20-30 years ago IT would've been routinely crushed on his drives, especially in the playoffs and ESPECIALLY if he was talking trash to far bigger players. Now they have to beat him by actually being better at basketball, and it drives them absolutely crazy. Doubly fun to see it happen to a guy like Morris who'd happily play as dirty as the league culture would let him get away with.
