    Not watching the video. I see that clown McIntyre there. If anyone wants to summarize the content, I read it.

    Nothing new, just the old lazy argument saying Harden is bad at defense, and Harden didn't play well the first two month, blah, blah, blah.

    I saw this.

    Mcyntire went a step further and was bewildered by anyone being able to enjoy Harden play.

    Save yourselves the brain cells. Lock up thread. Erase from existence.

    lmao

    I'm at this point as well. 2017 I was all in on the raging debate between Harden and Westbrook, despite knowing Westbrook would get the media sympathy vote.

    Not this year. We know Giannis will win. We know the media is looking for every reason to go the other way from Harden. Not worth wasting the energy on.

    I couldn't make any sense out of that. It sounded like they were split on Giannis vs Harden. They complained that Harden dominated the ball and dribbled too much.......and then Barnes conceded that CP3 and Capela missed time while the Bucks had been healthy. They touted the Bucks' #1 record in the league as a major advantage for Giannis........and then conceded that Harden dragged his team from near the bottom of the West to #3. And then Jackson at the very end of the segment throws in that the Rockets are gonna struggle in the playoffs because they don't have Trevor Ariza. What?! Have they actually watched the Rockets or Ariza play this season?

    When it comes to the media asking rhetorical questions about Harden, we can assume the answers will always be negative.

    Matt Barnes making good case for Harden, he's actually good to listen to. Just should never have gone with the fake tough guy act. That light skinned guy tried to dig at Harden 3 times, couldn't stop smiling as he made his little comments and nobody responded. That was gold! You know he's doing the network a solid there.

    Of course not. You think these guys actually spend real time working on their jobs?

    Media is nothing but an echo chamber spouting last year’s news. It always lags behind what’s actually happening in real time because most media members cannot form their own thoughts and have never taken the time to even try.

    It’s a sad state of affairs. With technology and other peoples’ opinions at everyone’s fingertips, nobody thinks for themselves anymore. All they do is repeat each other.

    As much as I hate Skip Bayless, there is literally no media member I hate more than this little cuck.

    James Harden could get a 100+ triple double and still it wouldn't sway McIntyre. He is a Harden hater through and through.

    At this point, nothing Harden does will sway those who never vote for him.

    Matt Barnes cussed at Harden screaming profanity about his Mom. Barnes apologized, but still lacking morals. Derek Fisher took his woman away.

    What a bunch of BS. The whole idea that Giannis is even considered over James is a sad commentary.
    The Bucks wouldn't have won 52 games if they played in the West.
    Meanwhile, James has had a Wilt like season, while keeping us positioned to win it all. (through a boatload of injuries)

    It's not that serious for me, but yes, he's very annoying. His takes are asinine, and his voice is terribly grating. :confused:

    Greg Jennings: Giannis is the best player on the best team
    Matt Barnes: dropping 50 again you have to give him his props
    Jayson: his game isn’t fun at all and doesn’t play D
    Jackson: Giannis numbers haven’t no been done sinde Wilt, and he plays D
    Also Jackson: defense in the league now is not real D

    WTF ARE QE SAYING?

    Greg Jennings should not be allowed to give his opinion on basketball. Any points about the WR position in football is already close to invalid, much less basketball.

    His first point was "look at Giannis' record in the East." That's already bad. Then he digs the hole even deeper by reciting Giannis' current statline, comparing them to a legend, and then saying for Harden, we get caught up in the moment.

    Like, how are you going to say 27 / 12.6 / 6 is something special, but completely omit Harden's 36.5 / 6.5 / 7.5?

    McIntyre is a whole level of stupidity that I don't want to waste time talking about.
