As I said, a disappointing defeat can't deny our excellent performance after the All-Star Game. We are still the strong team that was aiming to win the championship last season. No matter what our ranking is, second or fourth. In the west, how far a team goes depends on when it meets the warriors. And I always believe that we are the only team to beat the Warriors in the series. Finally, pray: Harden's free throw is more stable at critical moments EG's Brick Performance Don't Appear Again
He was 12/13 at the line overall that's 92% so it's hard to complain. You can't make them all. It wasn't like he missed the last one by a lot either. Bigger failure was letting PG get the ball for a corner three, but it is what it is. 3 seed at the worst I'll take it.
We win this if MDA was there tonight. He knows the team blows big leads. He would've kept their heads in the game. Hats off to PG tho! That was big time.
Role players played well but let's be honest. Without Harden or his 40-50 ppg outburst, we ain't talking about 4th seed even. If he breaks down, everything breaks down. That is not a complete team IMO.
The two teams that will be tough to overcome is a series are the warriors and the Bucks. I like the opticism, but probably cannot beat them by ISO on majority of possessions especially in the 4th. Matchup wise, these teams have one or two people we absolutely have no answers to. It will be tough. But yeah, I am excited for the playoffs.
