About Utah--I think trading Rubio was a mistake for Minnesota. Despite his lackluster shooting, I thought his passing would be beneficial with Butler, KAT, Wiggins. Moreso than Teague's shooting is.
How is that not a foul on Lance? You can't wrap a guy around the head and tie a guy up with your hands on his hands. I don't think Lance even touched the ball
Man, OKC just isn't that good. It's time for everyone to accept that. I was really hoping they'd gel at some point and become something to be reckoned with, but that failure is on Russ, George, and Melo. There's no reason three great players can't find ways to make the team as great as possible...
Foul differential matters and it should only be drastic when one team is way better than the other. Nothing worse than a whistle every second on one good team and another good team has to maul their opponent before a whistle occurs.
Perhaps it was just a case of bad footing but there was a play in game 1 where LeBron finally looked his age. He attempted a flat footed dunk and almost got turned away by the rim. I mean, bad footing or too far under the rim--whatever--I just wonder if we're starting to see the decline. I hope...
