this deserves its own thread . Some ****er on ESPN just said he understood where Ingram is coming from when he shoved harden .... because he's frustrated harden gets away with flopping . What ? Take aside the notion that these programs are entertainment and are meant to stir up controversy .... people are stupid !!! They hear this **** and it vindicates the previous narrative about harden . Half the comments on r/NBA about the fight are joking that Ingram is their hero for punching Paul and shoving harden . So when people complain about fans on this board having a "victim complex" ... it's not bullshit . People ****ing hate James and hate Paul . Harden maybe flopped once this game on that last 3 point foul ... aside from that he played a no frills game ... he was just better than anyone that tried to defend him.... and for what ever reason . People just don't want to acknowledge that . I had to come post these thoughts to CF . Because y'all are the only people ( most of you ) that are ride or die rockets fans . I gotta say , I never understood the "I'm doing this to prove my haters wrong attitude " .... but the reaction to this incident has be pissed . **** these rockets hating sheep. I used to want to win with class . The hate won and now I just wanna be belligerent.
Who said that on ESPN? I already knew not to go on Reddit tonight...salty Laker fans and the usual Harden/CP3/Rocket haters were gonna be out in full force
That's obviously ridiculous but hey, just another good reason to stop giving attention/clips etc to ESPN, just don't watch them.
Do yourself a favor my friend, don't bother yourself with the comments of ESPN employees. They are stupid, stupid people.
No joke. I like Russillo, but I’ve been so much less frustrated since I stopped watching ESPN coverage daily. I listen to some of the pods, occasionally watch SVP, but that’s about it.
lol this is my first time the stream has lasted after the game and I haven't watch tv in a while .... also I'm pretty baked . Cut me some slack lol
As everybody know im the biggest rockets fan but what i think that guy meant was that when harden plays in the transition he does play offense like a linebacker me n my bros are always like harden will bump u right in ur chest pretty much everytime to get some space..n harden is a train. It hurts i would be kimd of upset too.
oh, not surprising coming from him Harden didn’t even flop on that play, he just bullied Ingram out of the way...if anything, Ingram should be frustrated that his work in the weight room isn’t paying off Harden was drawing legit fouls. Where was all this flopping?
They will talk about this non stop on first take. Max will hol it dine and Stephen A will take Rondo’s side.
Real talk...James was recklessly barreling into his defender all night, just shoving them out of the way as he bullied his way to the rim. Spoiler LeBron James, that is.
Sure . But it's a legit play . Also , with the soft ass , freedom of movement calls this year ... how are those not fouls every time ?
