    Had a good laugh that Curry can run but can’t hide. Some of the clips of Curry showing on the ball and then frantically running back to his man is hilarious.

    That’s one of the better shows when they don’t spin the same narratives as other media on Harden and Rockets.

    Right on, just dont listen to todays The Ringer podcast, the Chris Vernon guy is a complete total douchbag about Harden's game 4.

    The look on Jalen's face just after saying, "coach, I got Jordan" was the face of someone who remembers a horrible time in their life. Haha.

    I'm not a huge J&J fan. But at least they are some of the few commentators and folks that will highlight that Curry has weaknesses. Everyone else seems like they are working hard to hide or ignore that fact. But these guys highlighted it. I don't like them, but I will give them their due for that.

    Jalen Rose is growing on me every day.The part he made fun of himself playing no defense is hilarious. But I seem to remember he was a pretty good defender. Or did my memory fail me?

    He was good when he wasn't cheap shotting Mario Ellie and breaking his wrist by undercutting him from behind the back.

    You have to relentlessly attack Curry on defense.

    Not only does he suck defensively, but it also kills his rhythm on offense.

    Its a double whammy for them.

    He occasionally gets ragged on in the show for the guy Kobe dropped 81 on.

    Its crazy how people bash Hardens defense but worst day on defense is Curry's best day.

    Neither one can guard the other.

    We can rag on Steph blowing that dunk at the end of game 3. The reason he had that wide open lane to the basket was he easily behind the back dribbled around Harden in the open floor.

    I'm just here to enjoy the thumbnail of Harden looking like a furious dad who's about to deal with his punk son.

    naw that's being way too critical... they have some of the best and most entertaining hoops talk out there. not always the most technical but it's real talk.

    So how come we can't make them pay for that? I mean yeah it's funny... right up until Curry ends up back on his original assignment and Durant/Klay/Green ends up back on Harden with 5 seconds left on the shotclock.

    Curry did that at least 7 or 8 times last game. Kept running away like a little b**** that he is.
