    They had former Spur, Bruce Bowen, as their color guy last year. He was fired after ripping into Kawhi because the Clippers are trying to sign Kawhi this coming offseason.

    This year, they had a rotation of 7 guys to work with Lawler during his final season. McLean, who also works UCLA games, happened to draw this game, probably his last one of the season, and decided to make his feelings known. Just a complete, unprofessional douche who shouldn’t have a job in the NBA anymore.

    So good I had to transcribe it.

    MacLean: See how many threes they shoot. Couple teams trying to follow along, although doing it differently -- they don't have a one-man band that creates most of it. ... I just, I like watching a different type of game.
    Lawler: Well, this Clipper team has been fun to watch this year. Because, goodness knows, they play the game the right way, the way you're talking about. There are no divas ...
    MacLean: Everybody understands their role, and then it becomes a lunchpail team. Everybody just comes to work every day, ready to play, playing hard.
    Lawler: That said, with that style, the Clippers are losing here by 35 points.

    do you really think everybody will shut up? no way...i mean everything is possible but watch media and majority of the fans find creative ways to put asterix(injuries, fluke, refs etc) next to the ring, diminish it and continue with the hate...

    I was forced to watch this game on the local clippers channel instead of NBA tv due to blackout restrictions. I had t ok bear these idiots all game long hate on Harden and the Rockets. I was ready to watch it on mute.

    Watching “Get Up”

    Harden is getting a lot of love. J Will calling it “evolution”. Saying the Warriors were said to be cheating by shooting all the 3’s years ago.
    Greeny seems to love Harden and appreciate what he’s doing.

    Many other things said. Maybe someone can post the video. There is more coming up on the topic.

    He's a contrarian. He was with Harden when Westbrook had his MVP season, turned against Harden last year in favor of Lebron, and now that Harden is being attacked more than ever (and will likely lose the MVP in a landslide despite his numbers) he's back on Harden's side. That said, he's absolutely right in this video, dropping a lot of historical perspective that most people will ignore because they're blinded by hate.

    Maybe not everyone but it will change the narrative significantly. now, 3 in a row will definitely shut them up for good.

    I find it pretty ironic and hilarious that MacLean's take was so ludicrous that ALL of the media outlets have come to Harden's defense on the matter. It actually is HELPING Harden's image. (for now).

    I'm thinking of someone else, not Bruce Bowen. Don't know what his name was, some white guy who always worked with Lawler commentating the games. I heard his voice for some other team this year, nto sure if it was him or not. Oh well, maybe he'll pop up later on.
