    Harden going Wilt mode early...I like it

    Utah thinks they’re Milwaukee, but nah

    He did that to Gobert last year during the playoffs. It confused him quite a 'bit, and if they are just going to let Harden drive by his original man, then that floater is there every time.

    Harden keeps forcing the lob but if they’re gonna play that gimmicky ass defense then make em pay.

    Float 30 floaters. **** em. Force em to make an adjustment.

    It's different when the guy guarding you smaller . Gobert is long but he doesn't have the speed of giannis as a help defender

    James has these same looks and options that game but the shots were more difficult and the passing windows tighter .

    Harden has direct line drive to the basket every possession. They aren't even pretending to defend him. They're doing the funnel you into our big defense. If he hits his floater, this series is a wrap.

    What people failed to realize about the Bucks game is that our shooters had wide open 3 after wide open 3. We didn't shoot good that night so it looked like an amazingly defensive format. I don't think you can do that in a 7 game series against us.

    only Harden could cause a team to play defense like this...coaches just out here scrambling for solutions and realizing there’s none

    This is basically the prayer defense.

    They just pray we miss open shots.
