Mother Tucker had a definite rough time. 5 fouls, 0 points.
Even once he had a wide open 3, mid 3Q I think, and passed off.
Yet, a team high +9.
Similarly, Shump seemed like a warm body and nothing more (3 points, 4 fouls), but was +3.
Nene +7 and showed some skills.
I was looking to get a suit made last week, and at two of the tailor shops in the big market, they had pics of the staff with Nene up on the wall. One of those shops also had snaps of Anthony Davis and Alvin Gentry, who they said was very funny and friendly.
Wonder if they charge extra for enormously large individuals? I would think so.
Down the stretch, Harden got some friendly calls.
Down 4, just under 2 mins left, Harden drove, bumped Iggy, Looney blocked the shot, but Iggy was called for a phantom foul. 40 secs left, Klay got called for a foul on a Harden drive. Looked like good D to me. So there were 4 FT's for HOU/Harden on questionable calls within the last 2 mins.
It was an oddly disjointed, choppy game. Lot of weird turnovers, like guys stepping out of bounds or losing the ball out of bounds for no reason. Once a pass just hit Klay in the chest and bounced away as he wasn't ready.
No one seemed sharp except Dray in the 1st half.
GSW took some poor shots in the endgame.
A contested 18' step back from Durant?
Scurry's 25' bomb over Nene with 25 secs left went in and was the difference, but wasn't what I'd want to see then.
