So impressed by the way Harper has defended.

His 3s started the fire. Also his defense has been solid even dived for the ball.

knicks is smaller but they hustle. Spurs relied too much on 3s.

Cavaliers are looking ROUGH right now

Bless their hearts.

Great video on the rule changes that are so egregiously ****ing Up the game. Thoughts? Is this ruining the game?

That stuff is disgraceful when someone takes four steps to get to the basket against us, but when Keyonte just steamrolls over a defender and gets an and-one... fantastic!!

That's a weird perspective to take. But I guess if you don't really understand the game, it makes sense.

Don't get me wrong – I hate all the things in the video (as I've said before).

Just pointing out that those types of calls have benefited the Jazz as well this season, and you never hear any complaints in game threads when that happens. One of Keyonte's new weapons is the exact thing the video talks about: lowering your shoulder and just ramming into the defender's chest. Impossible to defend.

Keyonte still doesn't have any real wiggle in his ballhandling, so this type of officiating has been a godsend for him. His offensive leap is real, but the refs are helping him too. Same goes for Lauri – another "straight to the hoop" steamroller.
