We all pretty much agree Pop was trolling the NBA. He could have won the game easily which is why we are mad. Manu, and Tony would have iced the game. This was one of those punk-ass learning experiences.
Chuck says Harden has to play great for the Rocket to win. Harden and CP3 didn't play well against the Celtics. Harden scored a total of 5 points in the 2nd half against the Bucks.
harden plays great like 90% of the time. when harden has an off game usually cp3 picks up the slack. last year they had nobody that could really pick up the slack when harden had a bad night.
Funny that a few days ago, I was defending Tim Duncan from Shaq, and the ludicrious claims of "most dominant big man ever" now I have to give examples of how the Lakers OWN the spurs. 2001 WCF- Sweep 2002 WCSF- 5 games 2004 WCSF- 6 games 2008 WCF- 6 games Lakers are 4-2 vs Pop when healthy during the playoffs. Pop is just like any other coach, completely at the mercy of the talent around them. Basketball is 90% talent and 10% coaching
Also, we beat the Warriors in Harden's 2nd game back from the pulled hammy, when he scored only 22 and wasn't nearly 100% (that stepback 3 in Curry's face notwithstanding)
Inb4 klay thompson goes 7/11 from 3,draymond trip dub, KD drops 30, livingston hits every turnaround jumper, and nick young gets super hot for a 5 minute stretch
Our two headed snake of Harden and CP3 has a spare with Gordon. I love to hear the pundits underestimate us. In 1994, the sports pundits all said we would be swept by the Miracle...guess who did the sweeping. Bring it on TNT, underestimate us...we love it. It will be satisfying to watch tNT eat crow. And Kenny, you should know better. The Heart of a Champion is still beating in Houston.

TNT clowns keep saying that we (Harden) need to have great games and smirk like no way that happens. Well- the same shiiit is true fr the Worriers. They look like trash with and without Stephanie.
He pretty much answered this question on that interview with him and Michael Beasley. Said he wanted basketball to feel like when he and Beasley’s All Star Rec league team was playing against random kids from DC. So he wanted basketball to be easy and for him to not have to compete very hard.
