    Scottie should Never bring up quitting. Every time Michael Jordan wasn't around Scottie had a quitting episode. It happened in Chicago, Houston and he didn't win squat in Portland.

    That's because it only fruatrated him a bit. Then when he gotblissed he'd just go off and destroy them.

    Good analysis actually. When he gets doubled in backcourt and guys who get up on him make him for turn overs a lot.

    Charles Barkley is actually quite a bright man.

    We discussed this in last year's playoffs. And the year before. And the year before. We've seen the recipe over and over. Attack Hardens dribble early, turn him, bring another defender while he's turning and keep it up. He does wear down and has. Rewstch the Spurs series. This is exactly what they did.

    The difference this season is we finally have a legit point guard playing alongside him. Hopefully Harden will give up the basketball when he is attached and hopefully he continues to make great decisions like he has for the bulk of this season.

    I think he will. The indicator will be his turnover count. He's done a great job of keeping it down in the previous two series. Hopefully he doesn't revert now.

    Why do you call Harden evil?

    That's pretty low even for a partial Rocket fan like you bro

    Funny that Michael Jordan a Billionaire never helped Scottie Pippen Financially when Scottie went Bankrupt.

    this is like nick anderson making a video about how to get in someone's head and make them miss clutch free throws in the finals.

    we get it, you're talking about yourself.

    quitten is still alive? unfortunate.

    he should crawl back in to Jordan's underwear and never be seen again.

    First, Scottie must share genes with Mr. Ed in snout and brains.

    Second, the quality of this vid was the exact opposite in depth of analysis as Kobe's details. Btw, anyone know if there's another stream of that?

    damn...Pippen throwing head shots

    I’ve never heard Pippen say anything all that insightful as an analyst...I put him a tier above Paul Pierce tho who holds the title for being the dumbest dude on TV

    yes, pippen is possibly the best all around/complete players ever in our league

    his defense was ridiculous with his length, speed, quickness and basketball IQ

    imagine if pippen tutored Harden like what Hakeem does for many people

    we would be a dynasty
