I used to be able to just barely throw in the ball in the hoop for a dunkish when I was in uni, but now I can't even touch the hoop without proper wind up, and I was heavier when I was younger. I can't wait when I'm in my 40s and all I'll do is brick threes hahaha | ||

Maybe an argument can be made for game 6, but game 7 was more or less consistent, and I say that as a Rockets bandwagoner. 27 missed 3s will never win any game. | ||

And Sam Hinkie is at least 20 IQ points smarter than any of the NBA Colangelos. Which would make him at least average. | ||

On a side note do you think he is 6'8? I think at least 6'10 he seams at least as tall as kevin love. I think it's a case of Love being overestimated at 6'10 and Lebron underestimated at 6'8. I'd guess 6'9 at most for Lebron. Doesn't look much shorter than Paul George, but still slightly. | ||

Had to play PG when I was still actively playing BB, sometimes I switched over to SG, because my 3pt game wasn't too bad. (for local bullshit leagues lol) Now I'm old. :D | ||

Sometimes I force it and play 1 just to live the guard-in-a-centers-body fantasy, and whenever we lose when I do so, it's no bball talk within the group for a week. It's so childish but competitive and I love it. Re dunking,I couldn't really dunk, but I could cheat it like just barely get on top of the rim and push it in. Useless game skills. | ||

If they ever review game 7 for match fixing, the Rockets would be the prime suspects. I think around 6'6 is where people can dunk even without a high vertical. It's why Klay can dunk. Lower than that and much depends on your vertical. Curry and Westbrook are roughly the same height. Curry only dunks when he's extremely wide open on a breakaway. | ||

Keep in mind that the 27 missed 3's in a row included 2 fouls on 3 point attempts that weren't called and the 4 point play that didn't count. If they had been called correctly then it wouldn't have been 27 missed 3's in a row. That being said, let's see how Lebron does against the Warriors before we are overly critical of the Rockets losing without CP3 in game 7 with a historically bad shooting night. No other team has even taken the Warriors past game 5 since Durant joined them. | ||

Rockets are now 0-6 in playoff games reffed by Scott Foster. Certain refs just have bias against certain teams and players.

But yeah, Houston balled their hearts out. | ||
