Why does it matter how the other games of the series went. We are talking about the most embarrassing GAME. Think about this. 1. The Spurs lost two of there best play makers, one of them was their best player on both ends. They only have one guy in LMA who was supposed to be a good scorer. We had all our starters healthy, including a guy who was the unanimous first-NBA teamer. 2. Cleveland had everybody healthy. They had three prolific scorers, while the Celtics lost their best scorer to injury. See the difference? The Celtics at least has the excuse of playing without their best scorer against a stacked team.
I don't think he's a gimmick. I think he will never be the #1 guy though. Creates less offense than Harden and plays worse defense.
you gotta be kidding me, the spurs had popovich, gasol, and lamarcus alrdige againist clint capela.. plus there was a lot of murder by numbers plot twist regarding harden's mom( monya wilson) if he won that game( she most likely would have been found dead on mothers day, similar to bevs grandfather. When the NBA playoffs start rolling bodies start fallling
Warriors got blessed by a once in a lifetime opportunity as they lucked out in subsequent drafts (which I give them credit for, they built that team unbelievably well, and all the stars aligned to give them enough cap space to sign Durant without gutting their core with the cap increase). Cavaliers definitely benefited from Deron Williams and Andrew Bogut taking vet. min. However, Korver was a trade and Bogut got hurt. Not the NBA's fault. It all boils down to Golden State's front office is too good, and LeBron is too good. Players fault honestly because a smooth cap increase year by year was possible, but voted down by the players association. Even then, Golden State and Cavaliers would still be dominant.
Let me guess.... you think Harden had nothing to do with Mo Malone Jr. Again, was BOS even favored tonight?
moses malone jr. story is a progaganda story no different than the kobe bryant rape story.( kobe and harden both share the same life lesset number of 23) same number as air jordan. Same number lebron first wore in cleveland. LeBron just had a big 666 tribute last year, he played in 6 straight nba straight , and won last years nba finals on the REAL KING JAMES birthday" obviously rape is more serious than battery and battery/armed robbery but both are serious crimes, kobe is just unlucky that he and for example not derrick rose had his mess up before the boom of the social media era.. harden is also benefiting like derrick rose
This only serves as proof of how far the NBA has fallen. Role players making tens of millions of dollars. Watered downed league. NBA encourages high scoring blow outs by encouraging teams not to play defense. Floppers and the Hardens live to draw fantasy fouls, which only further encourages players to play no defense. The league is ridiculous. In the past, you would rarely see CF teams getting blown out by more than 20 points. The league is a joke.
That was scary display of elite defense and offense. Sorry Warriors because the Cavs and King coming for you're souls
The more you hear about the Harden story the more outlandish it sounds. Mosses Jr is making a money grab.
Who cares if this was worse than the rockets. Both games were sad. How can this be the first 2 games of a conference finals? The east is pathetic. It has been that way for decades. The nba should do something about that. And also about the super teams like the warriors. Thia is a boring year in the nba
The entire season and playoffs are like preseason. The NBA finals featuring the Cavs and Warriors is the only thing that matters. as great as the finals was last year when everyone was healthy, it makes pretty much everything else pointless and boring if you ask me. what's the point of the other 82 to 100 games that other teams have to play excluding preseason?
Everyone expected from the start the Celtics to lose and most probably swept at that. That's the difference between ours and them. I dont' think one game will affect their free agency. BUT it's not game 4..we still have 2 games left. If the Celtics continue to lose at those margins and worse, with all the media circus and ridicule, that will probably have some consequences when it comes to the max guys.
unless they changed the rule, you have to have both feet and the ball over halfcourt before you can get a over-and-back violation. did they change the rule or does the ref not know the rule? stupid to be that close either way.
Yeah, not denying all this, but still, in terms of the series (which is what i was talking about) we played tied with the Spurs, we were 2-2 with them, basically 3-2 (yes, without Parker for a couple of games, but we had Nene out...now, not saying Nene is as important/good as Parker, but Parker is not the same player he was years ago, sometimes he's good, sometimes he's meh...), in regular season we lost 3-1 throwing away two games but we could've been 3-1, easily 2-2...and the Spurs are not exactly a joke of a team, i wouldn't bet on Cleveland in a series between them so, if the Celtics are getting swept losing by 30 every game yeah, that would be way worse than what we did.
