New 4th uniforms for each team based on their city.

I LOVE the Heat's and Clippers retro look. I wish teams had the balls to wear those colors full time.
Disappointed on my team the Hornets uniform. Their previous black jersey was black and teal which I loved. I like the colored pattern down the side of this one but the rest is blah.
I also like Dallas, Utah, Orlando and Atlanta's uniforms.
Yeah, some of them are pretty cool. Others not so much. Overall, I like the Warriors' new one, even if the colors might generally be a bit too bold for my tastes. I read the explanations for some of them, and there are a few that don't immediately resonate, but that are really cool once you discover some of the subtle callbacks to the local culture that are embedded in them. One that I did immediately pick up on that isn't mentioned in the article is that the lines on the sides of the shorts are a reference to the new Bay Bridge span, and its very iconic construction. Kind of similar to how the striping on the Nets' uniform is a reference to the Brooklyn Bridge. I would consider buying it if there was a sleeved version (not into wearing tank tops much, except around the house). I have the 2016 Chinese New Year jersey, and think it looks really cool (this one, but Curry:

I do NOT like Antlanta's or Utah's. Or Miami's.
In general, some of the more plain throwback designs don't do it for me. Some do. But I think a lot of them are just TOO simple and understated for my tastes. Maybe that's just a product of where we are with uniforms now and me liking the familiar. But I just don't care for many of the overly-simple ones.
Oh boy, you can't give away a game like that. There's some good acting by Smart to get those offensive fouls on Harden because let's be honest, every player shoves the defender like that to get some space to receive the ball. But still, Houson should have had that one in the bag a lot earlier
Yes and no in terms of acting. Harden was just too aggressive. Smart smartly planted his feel. You can't just bulldoze through a player like that and knock him to the ground. You just can't. And the fact that he had been called on the exact same thing a minute earlier made it even more stupid. Harden just bugs me. And every time I hear about him doing something cool in his community and start to maybe think I'll feel differently about him, he does something on court or says something in a presser that just makes me shake my head and dislike the guy all over again.
