Here is another article pointing out what Westbrook's motives were. Unfreakin believable. 30 years watching the NBA, I've never seen a player pull a stunt like that. And so obvious. Will the league fine him? Will there be any consequences? Of course not. It's a player run league.
What the 12-year NBA veteran saw, or thought he saw, with the rim on Thursday night, though, is anybody’s guess.
The Rockets rallied back from a 17-point hole to pick up a 122-117 win against the Clippers on Thursday night behind a season-high 40-point night from Westbrook — 25 of which came in the second half.
While the rim was completely fine, perhaps that extra break was exactly what Houston needed to pick up its fourth win in five games.
“It was lopsided, at least I thought,” Westbrook said after the game, via USA Today’s Mark Medina. “But it don’t matter.”

It did not affect the Clippers one bit coming out of halftime..It was 77-61 with 9 minutes to go in the 3rd...Clippers increased their lead by 2 points in the 1st 3 minutes...Harden had a horrible 1st half...It was only time before he went off......Clippers also had a 111-105 lead with 5 minutes to go in the 4th..Did that have something to do with the rim as well? ..Rockets played a better game..I'm sure u were not expecting Russ to go off for 40 tonight...Plain and Simple...Russ & Harden outplayed/outscored Kawhi and PG13.....Move on to the next game.

Interesting theory BB but you can't quit. You're on of the few posters that have unique angles that you fully explain in detail and for that to leave the community would be a loss compared to the other posters who just post picks without reason or follow a generic "cookie cutter" (often wrong, fails the"eye tes" and very square) handicap..

You and I have been here long enough to deal with and are able to ignore the trolls. We both know that trolls are just that and since this post is still relatively fresh, there will still be some criticism/trolling ahead. As usual, the trolls come in their usual groups , so brace for it and continue the journey..

I would think that most people are able to differentiate the difference between trolling comments and criticism comments. Some comments are strictly intended to troll..

Clippers had a 16 point lead in the 2nd half...Had every opportunity to bury the Rockets...This was a payback game for their early loss a month ago where Rockets should have won that game after blowing an 8 point lead with 2 minutes to go in the 4th....Clippers Had all the momentum with 5 minutes to go in the 4th up 6 after going on a 21-3 run...... Last time you blamed Clippers for not covering because Harden had tons on FT's...Not you blaming a 7 minute delay to start the 2nd half...A 7 minute delay...U can't be serious...

I’ve always enjoyed reading your material, win or lose, but it pains me to see when people think the “right side” lost. A loss is a loss, doesn’t matter if it’s right side or not. If you want to say there are external factors that come into play on a cover or not then I’m 100% right there with you. But those factors must be considered when evaluating a play and the NBA is poster child for this in the realm of wagering. These external factors play a part in certain games, not all, ending up on the “right” side or not. You can be looking great on any wager in game but down the stretch when shady things happen you can’t be surprised, just except it as part of the game. Your angle on capping is informative and entertaining but limits eliminating certain plays that are “at risk” for situations like this. Best to you, happy holidays / Merry Christmas and to the rest of the covers community
