..him being about dat lyfe.. He wasn't flopping but Harden acted like he was thrown back half a mile. jk.
ESPN is trash because they cater to big names and big city. I don't watch their personal shows now because they trash southern states and have no equal time to us. Lebron has been done theatrics before, but just not as smooth as Harden. Only JVG is making me watch NBA games. If they have problems with theatrics, Harden wouldn't be MVP.
What do you expect from a name like Ryen Russillo? For ESPN, ignore their comments because if you don't your blood pressure will just shoot off the roof listening to their ignoramus commentary. In all seriousness, I get really mad when some on this board profess to be Rockets biggest fans but make idiotic post. A case in point, the post of mike2k132 really get to my nerves. He agrees with Ingram for shoving the Beard because the, in his word, the Beard is a freight train coming at you (a linebacker). What sense is that when the Beard is no different than when LeBron James comes at you like a steel locomotive. Does anyone shoves LeBron for playing that way? Does it hurt when LebBron comes at you? You know what people like mike2k132 would say when it's LeBron or any other players who plays like that? 'get out of the way or you get hurt'. But for the Beard, it's a terrible play that would bring about shoving in the back; and yet, this mike2k132 calls himself a die-hard Rockets fan. Anyone who believes that mike2k132 is the biggest Rockets is a sucker for penny. A big boy move mike2k132 says; if Ingram is not cut out for a big boy movr or he is afraid of fire, he should get out of the kitchen. I can understand if mike2k132 tells the truth about his allegiance and make such comment; it would make a fun post because at least we know from where the perspective is coming. I would rather him makes that comment and not tag himself as a Rockets fan than making a fool of this board participants. I usually don't comment on this type of oxymoron post, but this one take the cake.
So guys get respect for throwing sucker punches in fights they aren’t involved with now? Damn, what a world we live in now.
What flopping?!? These people are amazing with their level of bias, my god. Where was all this flopping???
I was confused by the flopping accusations until I realized that people are apparently claiming that any time Harden draws a foul, it's a "flop". The rip-through move is a "flop". Faking a guy in the air and drawing contact is a "flop". Running through a guy on a fast-break like last night is a "flop". Call it Harden Derangement Syndrome, I guess.
Yeah, JVG and Jackson were all over Kuzma for whining on that one.That's a major part of Harden's game - to manufacture trips to the foul line.
it was so obvious a foul was coming too...if u still don’t know not to extend your arm out like that when guarding Harden then that’s on u...that’s just low IQ defense that Harden will exploit every single time fans should be mad that Kuzma doesn’t read the scouting report
No narrative about Harden taking over the game late and clearly outplaying Lebron. Several about Harden getting fouls and frustrating opponents blah blah
Clearly if Harden didn’t put his arms out or try to score, he wouldn’t be fouled. Thank god the refs didn’t fall for the obvious bait here.
LOL, is that what you "think"? Adorable, run along now hero, your white knight shtick has been noted.
Generally I like Russilo. But his "Harden take" was super lame, and not surprising. He is not a Harden fan and doesn't respect his game. In fact Jemele Hill made a similar comment on twitter last night. (below) Basically, these fools condone shoving because they don't like the fact that Harden drives to the basket and defenders foul him. What are we doing here!? We live in a world where Hill says "Harden instigated things" and then she is only "iffy" on Ingram's sucker punch from behind. I mean, if you are going to have those takes. Re-asses and re-calibrate.
