Since Houston plays a much tougher schedule, Toronto has a shot at getting the best record in the league. Toronto is only 3 games back and Houston plays a bunch of teams fighting for their lives.

We need them to go on huge losing streak.

How huge of a losing streak can they go on? They play PHO three times and SAC twice in their last 14 games.

They also play SAS, UTA twice and OKC. Don't we want them to win those games?

Durant, Curry, and Klay are all hurt so anything's possible. I guess you're right though.
 
Durant is not hurt. This is being called a calf strain. This is simply the Warriors resting players. Same thing Houston will start to do also.

Manu is a basketball genius! Draws 2 fouls and 2 techs out of thin air!

The first foul was legit, I guess, but the second was honestly a bunch of BS, and rules honestly should be adjusted to legislate against that kind of thing.

However, as long as it's legal, makes perfect sense for him to take advantage of it, I guess. Would love for someone like PC or ET to figure out how to add that "skill" to his game.

I agree, that second foul is so cheap, but he ran him over. It would be so hard to determine what is a real foul or fake/flop. I mean they put a flop rule/fine in but people just flop all the more now.

Yeah, he "ran him over", after he clearly moved into Davis' existing path and slowed down to create the contact. That kind of thing should be a ref's judgment call (for all I know, maybe it is...?).

That second foul was legit too, but only because AD pushed down extra instead of hands-out contacting.

Manu was quite blatant and it should be easy to tell in a situation like that. I'm imagining some pushing the ball up the court with a defender near them, many times the guy with the ball will move into the defenders path and create contact and get a foul just running down the court.

I guess. It just reminds me of a screen set behind a player who is unable to see the screener. It's called a foul on the screener because the other player doesn't really have any opportunity to avoid the contact the screener creates. IMO, this should be officiated the same way.

Just my opinion.

I definitely agree it's cheap and annoying but I'd rather have the option than not, I guess. :)
 
In both cases, Davis wasn't watching where he was going.

So, does that make Manu the "Davis-stopper?"
