Ok. I was talking about drives and him taking what looks like three steps, especially on a Eurostep move. But the first step he times right as he gathers so it’s not a step and he gets two more.

Yeah, like I said in the post that you were replying to... superstars have always got away with steps in the paint, I really have never had a problem with that and I like his euro step. This thing with Harden on the three point line is mind boggling though, there is no way the ref is looking anywhere else and he gets away with it a lot, and on important possessions.

Tonight he took three distinct steps backwards to get that three off against RoCo. It was preposterous, they replayed it twice and no one can justify it.

Dan Marang just replayed the step back and said not a travel.
 
GTJ’s acting like a crybaby on the bench has me wondering if he thinks signing with Klutch makes him more than a spot-up shooter with average-at-best defense. Bad look for him. Be a professional.

Posting in these game threads is a coping method - I can't be there live so this is the next best thing.

Yeah, I liked them but unlike how I always want Dame or CJ on the court because I want to see them without each other as much as possible... I want to see RoCo and DJJ together as much as possible because of how they have the potential to just shut the other team down as a tandem.
 
My guess is Ant played because Terry likes having two ball handlers on the floor at any one time, and Trent is not that.

The ones squeezing Trents minutes are Hood and most importantly, Melo.

I love how Harden got to take like six steps before hitting that three.

That stuff is tough to watch. I also have a problem with him hooking under a defenders arm and then trying to shoot. It's not a basketball play. But he gets the calls for it.
 
blazerkor said:
If Melo will play like he did in the fourth quarter, passing and only taking a couple of bad shots then he's OK in the rotation. I hope that was something that was made clear to him and not just some fluke.

This is the second game we watched Stotts light the team up for defensive issues. I have rarely seen him livid on the sidelines. It's happened this year. I wonder if Melo is getting some of the chewing?

@AldoTrapani I can't really identify anyone else in the forum as the best at any one thing but you are definitely the best at knee jerk reactions... in the game, between games, at all times we can count on you.

Well dude your happy with our performance ? This was James Harden and a bunch of pick up guys taking us to OT. Cj was a monster though he saved us tonight
 
It would be funny if we traded CJ and he became an All-Star while Harden was a malcontent that destroyed our team culture...wouldn’t it ?

For the record I don’t believe any of that would happen.

It certainly would be ironic
 
This game was one i would have loved to watch live. Couple of great performances by a couple really entertaining players.

And Dan is qualified because...... why?

Well watch if you have it recorded it’s a good close up slow mo view on Blazers Outsiders. I personally can’t tell because I don’t know the rules well enough. After the gather he takes one step to step back and then two feet land and he shoots. But the two feet land at separate times. Is that 2 or 3. I dunno.

Would Harden get the calls that he gets on the Rockets if he was a Blazer?

Or NO wants Terry to showcase Ant to the Rockets.
