You don't start a game fatigued lol. Any person with some type of intelligence knows this. If Harden goes 1-8 then that could be a case for fatigue. But only taking 2 shots & throwing the ball out of bounds with nobody standing there is NOT fatigue. Having a bad game & not even competing are 2 different things
WTF so that's your proof that players can never run out of gas or injured as long as they start the game? you must be dumber than a pile of rocks why do you think teams hate back to backs then? I mean after a days rest and they're on the court the next day they should be back to 100% right? moron! pretty rich from a kobe fan saying its impossible for harden to run out of as or be injured
There are no back to backs in the playoffs. How stupid is that? lol. Does that justify throwing passes to invisible teammates? Passing up WIDE OPEN shots? Harden had no significant injuries. You just made that up
so you're saying as long as an athlete has more than 24 hours to recuperate, he should be back to 100% of his physical capability, performance, and stamina correct? if that's the case then why Steph and KD have already took a couple of games rest 20 games into the season or why Lebron or Kwahi rested for 10 games last year go ahead and ask Pops, why does he need to rest Kawhi if in a day he should be back to 100% or ask Lebron, Steph, and KD
I swear I thought the same. Thompson would be great alongside Harden, for sure, but he's not that relevant. He's no doubt the 4th most important in that roster, maybe even the 5th if you think about Igoudala. Not taking punches at him, he's a great, great, spot up shooter, one of the best ever. I really think he could be better the Reggie Miller as a first option, and I think Reggie was a very good first option in several very good Pacers teams. So that's that, Klay is very good, close to great at his strengths, and that's how great of a team the Warriors really are, having a guy like him as a third offensive option. Harden and Paul are on a different conversation. They're both first option, having Paul running the second unit is what's making the current Rockets great. It's like having a high schooler playing amongst middle school kids, it's not fair. The warriors do the same with Curry and Durant, but they're not able to run an offense like Harden and Paul can, specially D'Antoni's. We basically have the two best pick and roll playmakers playing for the best pick and roll coach, with 48 minutes of all-world playmaking, even against second units. Yesterday, Raul Neto played maybe his best bb ever in the NBA, but it was against Paul, I see it as unfair. Livingston is a great backup PG, but, man, we have Paul and EGo running our second unit, alongside any combination of our wing, I kindda like our chances against the Warriors second unit with Durant. I know how great Durant is, obviously, but Paul is not far behind regarding the impact at both ends of the floor. Comparing Harden-CP3 with Curry-Durant, fair enough. Curry-Klay, we could compare with Harden-Ariza, Harden-EGo. Maybe I'm just a homer, nothing wrong about that, but that's the way I see and I'm not being paid to express my opinion on national TV.
Dumb question. Do you have to be at 100% physical capability to attempt a shot? Complete a pass? Or do any of fundamental things they teach you as a child?
He has repeatedly in the past that Klay is better than Harden so he probably still believes that. He said twice in a row last night "Steph and Klay! Steph and Klay!" like it was obvious that they are just BETTER. I'm not even hating on Klay, I think he's better than a lot of clutchfans do, but he's not better than Harden.
so now you admit he wasn't 100% thanks for finally realizing and admitting a 94 games at frantic pace and mvp calibre performance can affect someone even if he had a day's rest if a player can play at mvp level performance even he's only at 80%, why does Steph, KD, Kawhi, and Lebron need rest? you seem to know alot about basketball.. do you play? how many minutes in 1 game do you play?
He is there collecting paychecks and that's what I hate from some ex Nba players who go into the media. They don't care to take the job serious, they do what they want and say what they want and as long as the producers consider it "entertainment" its okay. I don't mind him taking Lebron over Harden, I don't mind him taking Durant over Harden but its flat out stupid to take a borderline all star role player from a team and even attempt to make them equals. Klay plays defense so that's why these two who play way different roles on their teams are comparable? When Klay changes positions, has Curry, Durant and Green taken away from him and leads his team deep in the playoffs while almost winning MVP we can compare these two. With that said, neither does he watch the games or attempts to provide an educated opinion on anything. I hate Kellerman but at least his bs is debatable. I hope Harden and Paul listen to these comments every time before a game and use it to light their fire and prove all the donkeys wrong.
When the Rockets win a championship, all this will go away. The stupid talking heads giving us crap now will praise us, and the few smart ones who liked us all along will say, "I told you so." I'm looking forward to it.
