    Parson acknowledging that he actually wasn't a better SF than the 11 million dollar man, Nicolas Batum.

    Yes, i'm still not over it.

    They were asking these 3 because they were all in Vegas for team USA.

    Harden gets defensive over failure.

    If CP is telling the truth, Houston basically got trolled by Portland's CSN guy, and that fueled the Blazers..

    Loving Harden's reaction to it.

    Let the fire burn for next season.

    F Parsons and his two-faced diplomacy, I'm sure he did mean it. He said as much when he went to Dallas in his "B*tch i am a star" rant

    Yeah seems pretty clear cut...But I guess it's possible the reporter asked something like, "when you're going up against Batum, are you thinking you're the best?"

    But I don't remember Parsons denying it, until now, so...

    All things considered, I'm glad Harden isn't willing to sweep that series under the rug. I'm willing to bet he won't repeat the ****ty games 1-5 performance, next year.

    I'm pretty sure I watched the video of parsons saying he was the best SF in the series.

    I actually never had a problem with him saying that, I liked the confidence. But he's recently let that confidence make him delusional.

    I think he takes it too far sometimes...in this case, if Lillard is telling reporters they spoke about it, but Harden denies it, it just makes James look like a difficult person. And yes, I'm inclined to believe Lillard over Harden.

    Good for Harden. I'd be worried if he weren't still bothered.

    Statement was stupid.

    You don't give your playoff opponent, bulletin board material.

    This obviously fired them up and was a big reason for the loss.

    Chandler pissed them off just like he's pissed off Rocket fans

    Its starting to be a bad habit

    It says Dame said they spoke "at length" about it... possible that's the part he denied.

    if anyone wants to see the new harden hes coming up on NBA TV playing for USA in a scrimmage (im guessing would be lame if its just drills)

    hopefully some harden vs lillard/ Parsons matchups happen.

    Love Harden's attitude and the fact that he's still not over it.

    That shot still burns. It should burn in every fans heart. That shot proved to us that this organization can not stand still. The Ariza acquisition was not enough. They need to step up their games!

    Funny how it's become good to act like losing isn't that big of a deal, and being upset about it makes you a bad guy.
