Did Rudy end up breaking the dunks in a game record?

Don't want to discuss it
Think it's time for a change
You might get disgusted
Start thinking I'm strange


Oh Domino
Lord have mercy

 
This team loves jack potting like @infection loves long complex analogies that compare basketball stuff to real life stuff.
 
Quin Snyder in postgame said the team was actually told to foul when the Rockets hit the game tying 3, but Royce didn't.

Please just close with House now.
I was so frustrated … was like how the hell is Quin this basketball genius and we aren’t doing the most basic basketball IQ move here.
 
This team is just so casual at times. It’s the JC fastbreak where he turns a sure basket into a turnover and layup the other way… the Donovan dunk layup miss… the Rudy layup that gets blocked… meandering under Matthews when you know he’s going to draw fouls… the way we close quarters is amazing too… we have 12-13 point leads and instead of stretching the lead to 15-16 we let teams cut the lead to 8-9 points.

The rockets played last night… tried to give up… but we refuse to let teams get blown out… we just get so cute. It’s lost is several games this year and is the difference between the 4 and 2 seed.
 
Just finished watching the game. Man that was uninspiring basketball to watch. I hope this was just a matter of playing down to the competition.
 
I would foul to prevent a 3PA
Of course that is the right move. So of course quin doesn't do it. (in his defense most coaches wouldn't foul there. Bunch of idiots)
I was livid that they didn't foul. I think you always should foul there but ESPECIALLY when the guy who had the ball right before wood got it was like 1-6 from the line on the night. Also wood, according to the graphic i saw, is the worst free throw shooter in the nba. The rockets suck at free throw shooting. On the other hand, the jazz have some really good free throw shooters on the court. Donovan is at 87%, Royce is at 80.4%, Bogey is 86.7%, conley is 83.5%. So a free throw shooting competition when we already have a head start would almost certainly result in a jazz win.
The rockets wanted a look at a 3. Dont give them one. Oh and they were hot from 3 all night.

Im still pissed about that.

Ah, I take back my rant then. Thanks for the info. It was the perfect situation to foul there.
