Celtics score 6 points on 3-12 FG with James Harden as primary defender

that was the official winnie the pooh regime story (that it was transmitted at a fresh meat market), but more likely looks like it was just accidentally released into the public from the nearby level 4 biosafety lab at wuhan institute of virology

 

Criticism is valid if consistent for every other player.

If criticism only targets Harden then it is prejudice.

And for God's sake back up your take with data instead of pulling critiques out of the poop shoot.

We should all be held accountable if you spout misinformation.

 

That has terrorism written all over it. This type of virus would be housed where Ebola samples would be?

 

not necessarily intentional or terrorism... i don't know if ebola is stored there, but if it was then why not release that one into the public instead, as it has a 50% mortality rate vs only 2% for this coronavirus

 

Guys, we're getting a little off the reservation here, don't you think? There's a thread in Hangout that covers this, and a PG-14 thread in D&D that covers it, as well.

 

So did Westbrook by missing that free throw late in the 4th, he hits that and we are up 1 at the end of regulation...............people here going on as if he had a 100 percent perfect game

 

Maybe they were thinking long term..Ebola has noticeable symptoms in all those contracted thus easier to contain right away. Most of world centers have vaccines to counter Ebola I think where as Covid-19 is mostly an unknown.

 

i'm not sure who even benefits from this, i mean who would try to mastermind such an operation. so all just speculation imo

 

The picture of Harden and Westbrook embracing after the game, well I watched the video of that moment and saw another part of it. It was Westbrook patting Harden on the back of his head and telling Harden, "great box out". Harden smiled broadly. Westbrook was telling Harden he was playing great defense with that remark.

 

Honestly never thought I'd see a thread with this type of headline.

 

Agreed but good to see him developing his d skills and putting in effort

we will need him to keep it up if we want to make it to the finals

we know harden can score w the best of them. Now he needs to prove to the league that he can defend as well and we will be champions if that happens

 

There's motive in terrorism even if the results are misery. With the markets crashing there are livelihoods taking a hit, not to mention those lives lost. And with that I hope our discussion gets removed from here and moved into the D&D forum and Corona thread....

 

i don't see any plausible financial motive for any particular group, state, or entity that would be sophisticated enough to pull off such an elaborate operation. markets are getting hit across the board, either directly or indirectly. mask manufacturers perhaps had a financial motive in all this

 

What was the financial gain for 19 terrorists to fly planes into the two world trade centers?

 

did those planes take down WTC7 too?

 

I think you're lumping me in with posters like fchowd and realist137. Harden did NOT have a good game offensively against the Celtics. Are you saying he did? Because I watched the game, and I'm sure you did too.

He has way too many games where he eats possessions by stepping back and launching 3s. In the Celtics game, he was 4-17 from 3.

1st quarter: 1-3
2nd quarter: 2-5
3rd quarter: 1-3
4th quarter: 0-6.

You want more data? Those 6 3s were all the shots Harden took in the 4th. Don't think he took any FTs in the 4th, as he barely penetrated.

I don't understand your point about criticism. Other players aren't perfect; neither is Harden. Rivers didn't exactly have a great game offensively, either.

Westbrook has been playing to his strengths since the calendar rolled to 2020. Harden's strength WAS the stepback 3, but when, in the final quarter of a game against a quality opponent, you're not making the shots you usually make, you should try something different to help your team.

Why do you think he had a good game?

 

Harden had a very good game defensively. When the Celtics admit that they geared their defense to stop Harden first, second and last - Harden was bound to struggle on offense, the C's are an excellent defensive team.

But Harden didn't shut down, instead he doubled his defensive effort and thank god he did.

Harden allowed only 6 points the entire game, that is lockdown defense.

So yes, Harden was not at his best offensively but he was excellent defensively.

We had role players who missed wide open 3's all game but I do not see the same vindictiveness toward BMac, House, Green, etc.

I have no problem being critical of a player but if you are going to call them out, then call all of them out for same failings.

We have seen the one sided media lambasting of Harden in the Giannis-Harden feud where if Harden did what Giannis did he would be vilified even worse than he is now.

 

That must have really hurt LOL

 

Props to James

Every opposing fan and media outlet could be informed of this and they'd still dismiss it.

Why? Because they're all weak ass b1tches.

 

Well he doesnt he has the highest defensive win shares for the whole team
