Dude jacked up 13 threes per game in the D-League and still managed 40%.... HAHA that league is funny. Nothing but threes and layups.

Give credit to Houston. Unlike those coward Bulls, they let Portland attempt a game tying shot.

Dude may have saved McHale's job.

Too many fouls called.

You can catch a defender in a bad position, ram your shoulder into him as you shoot and get the foul call plus an easy-ish shot. Every time someone drives to the basket and doesn't score they throw their hands up looking for a foul, which they too often get..

It's like watching the ****ing douchey Broncos receivers every game. It's pussy shit.

NBA games have 2-3 more fouls per game than NCAA game. Add that it's faster, longer, and players are 50x better offensively and the number of fouls isn't high at all. And are you trying to say that players SHOULDN'T take advantage of catching a defender in a bad position?

This. I especially like your comparison. Ive been a Rockets fan since they left San Diego and cant stomach Harden's game. The NBA has changed. Its not like watching Moses Malone's or Olajuwon's Rockets...Far too much "pussy shit" in the NBA today.

Um...That would be a NO! But your Lakers are bringing back D'Antoni next season though!!!
And no matter the amount of butt hurt you still have over it, Howard left L.A. for good reason and did so for far less money. Try some Vaseline to ease the pain...

Comparing the NBA to NCAA doesn't really help because I'm not a fan of either.

Like the NFL, I'd prefer they didn't have reeruned ass rules that were so easily taken advantage of, but since that's not an option, yes, I'd prefer they didn't. I understand there are millions of dollars at stake in personal salaries, future employment, etc so that'll never happen.

Pussy foul calls and subjective rule changes are the worst part of the NFL and NBA, in my opinion.
