SAS pulled the short straw in the pre-production meeting. It so strange SAS loves Harden but doesnt really like the Rockets and Kellerman likes the Rockets, but doesn't really like Harden.
These two still annoy me for how they dismissed harden during their all star draft and reluctantly picked him 2nd to last amongst starters. Both were fighting for klay Thompson with their 4th pick for Christ sake, pumping up these scrubs while treating harden as an afterthought. Now that the rockets are winning and harden is doing things no ones done they got no choice but to give us some props. Rockets and harden earned this, don’t act like these jokers are doing us a favor or something
They don't care, they only care if you watch the show and hang on every word they say Keep making them rich Max Kellerman needs a new Porsche
SAS and Max are two trolls, they look less fake in NBA 2k (or they're in nba live? Can't remember now)
When people start caring about what hot take show hosts are saying which is scripted, they get rich you don't think it's scripted? you realize they have to talk for 30 minutes each day about topics ? you realize they can't just sit and pause and look at their phones like you guys do at work you know there's a teleprompter ? so when Max or Steph make you mad , it's a win for them, it means you are still going to watch after the commercial break and you will see mountain dew and taco bell ads and later that day when you are posting on Clutchfans, you decide to get food and realize that Taco Bell drive through is open and when that voice asks you what kind of drink? you say Mountain Dew Mad at what they say means they are doing a great job
You guys don't realize it's a TV show like other TV shows like Dawson's Creek or Family Feud?

"Stephen A., I defer to you. I'm curious to hear what you have to say about this so I can jump all over your take." This show in a nutshell.
SAS loves anyeone who he meets and has a conversation in person. He used to hate Bosh until he came on the show. It's the same with Harden (he did that 1on1 with him). Hence the "My dear friend" jokes.
Stephen A. Smith: "The reality is... the GSW recognize that if they roll into your house, and they beat you without KD that's going to be a bad sign for the Houston Rockets" ...after Rockets beat the Dubs without Harden one game and CP3 another game. Guess that's a lot of bad signs for the Warriors haha..
Lol this is all scripted. It's you take 1 side, I'll take the other and we shout at each other. They aren't reporters they are entertainers. It's like saying WWE is a sport.
