  1. Holy shit, that was one helluva half inning. 
    Might be in the minority, but I agree with the call on that foul to left.
    That was the right call. The inconsistent calls at the plate were way worse.

    I think it may just be a cramp honestly. Dude needs to get a nice long sleep and rest his back from carrying the team this whole game. 

    Lol so the stage is set. How does the script read? Both former confrence champs are backed against the wall. Do the Lebrons make it to the finals? Do the Durants?

    That's what it looked like to me too. He rolled his thigh on that play.

    Hell yeah! Gutsy win by the Rockets. EG was MVP for sure.

    And you gotta feel good winning with meh offensive contribution by Harden. But dance with the one that brung ya, he will have his night over the next two.

    Go Rockets!

    And as I put in the article, there are plenty of other major variables in this. I didn't say there was a causation. I just said there is a correlation and that it's interesting. Also I know if Brown was being lazy recruiting back in 2002-2007.

    One thing not touched upon is the difference in accessibility to information for more than rudimentary evaluation. HUDL did not exist in the MB days. I mean, how many could reasonably expect access to tape from a California athlete even 5 years ago? Near costless access to information on all levels makes recruiting a lot less dependent on (or limited by) regional specialization and networking. It cuts both ways too. Jake Smith sitting at home has a lot more opportunities to evaluate the fit at a place like Texas before taking an OV.

    The who-you-know is certainly important, as evidenced by Strong's reach into Florida (and Louisville ['thanks for Poona']), Beck's ties to AZ and Herman's to CA. The growth of the camps and 7-on-7 clearly contribute as well, but yeah, this should be the new norm for us to get the best talent available.
