The Rockets allegedly track ref tendencies and feed that info to their players (Harden included) so that they can better draw fouls. [1] Can't say I fault a team for doing everything within the rules to win, but it sure makes the games

I've never thought of ES5 as simple, consistent, and easy to read. There are plenty of features that many devs wouldn't recognize (ie, "the bad parts"). They've fallen out of vogue because there are better ways to d
