The play-by-play of the last five minutes looks like Kyrie wanted to give this game away, Harden was not on the floor, and Jordan saved the night. Clippers almost came back from the line, mostly. Clutch time will be tough on the Clippers. Lou Williams is probably their best option, but it should fall on the shoulders of Kawhi first and then George. Out of the two, very few players could get as good of a look on every shot as Paul George could, but he doesn't trust himself. Kawhi has the correct mentality, but lacks the athleticism and moves to get a good look and not need to fall back on a whistle. They really need a player like Lowry to facilitate clutch time.
Has the MVP winner ever been traded mid season? Harden breaking tradition, again it’s like in 2016-17, Harden almost the 1st MVP to not make any All-NBA teams the year before (obviously not counting rookie MVP winners). He lost to the WB triple double.
Tilman had the means and the team (2018 team) to make us unstoppable. Instead, he cheaped out and got us G League players like Rivers, House and McLemore.... and people are wondering why he asked for a trade? There is no other superstar who would have carried a bunch of G League players and got 4th in a tough west.
Is this the new polite way to say you’re fired? I wonder if it works when you break up with somebody too.
Yeah bottom barrel players expecting them to be core rotational everyday players and expected him to win. Everything!
The Rockets started a G-leaguer in 2019 instead of open up the checkbook to replace Trevor Ariza with a legit SF. 2019 Rockets with Joe Harris win an NBA Championship.
and those 3 were actually the upgrades...we literally went dumpster diving for Melo, Ennis, MCW, and Chriss coming off 65 wins and a game 7 in the WCF we weren’t able to adequately replace Ariza until last year’s trade deadline, and by then it was too late
Cp3/Harden/Covington/Tucker/Woods with assets left over. We had a game who could have actually made that happen and we didnt do it. And we lost the GM who could have made that happen.
Show me another player who can put a team on his back without KD and go 5-0 on a brutal road trip with consecutive wins in Phoenix and the lakers and Clippers? Lebron exposed without AD so who else?
If they fix their defensive rebounding problem They will be going into 4th quarters with 20 pt leads And Allow Kyrie to pad his stats.....and win by 10 Rocket River
Bro we started Tucker at center, won a playoff series and took a game off the Lakers with the anchor that is Russel Westbrook. We absolutely win the title with that lineup.
This is by far a worse call, yet it doesn't even get mentioned: Harden isn't even averaging 7 free throws with the Nets and yet they're making out that he goes to the line all the time. He doesn't get the calls he used to.
