    Look how easy Harden's teammates had it. People were claiming that Harden let the double-team happen, but look at how open some of those guys were when Harden got double-teamed. He would also get double-teamed at the start of the game. It happened so much in his last 18 months and most of our teammates couldn't take advantage of it. That is not Harden's fault when he's done all the hard work. Not even Jordan or Kobe got double-teamed as Harden did.

    As I watch the talking heads
    I see a little fear....fear to say something
    That is becoming obvious

    There is a path to a NBA championship for the Nets *Without* Durant.

    Esp if they make some good moves in the buyout market.

    Regular games aren't playoff games. I have some serious flashbacks of Rockets' games not so long time ago. I love their playing style, just not sure it's enough.

    I'm not sure the Nets get by the Sixers if it really matters, let alone winning against the champions of the West, being it the Lakers, Jazz, Clippers or any other team that eliminates one of those three.

    Still hoping for a total eclipse for the Nets from 21-22 onwards.

    haha because I've posted repeatedly right? Or is the fact that I said a cult was going on so sensitive at a point of insecurity..

    You're demonstrating more than my only 5 word post this entire month. Let that sink in. I haven't shared a specific view point, which is the crazier part lmao

    So in other words, you have no actual analysis to show that those "mistakes" happen often with Curry, and more often when compared to other elite players? Since we have both agreed that the clip you posted was a defensive mistake and not some plan/scheme to double him.

    We all knew that Harden with any legit super star player and some shooters is a contender. We gave Lakers some resistance even with Westbrook being a negative player and no shooters other than Ben in the playoffs.

    I literally don't see them losing more than 3 games in the playoffs in total and that is because they tend to lose a little focus.

    Just to add, let's examine the Rockets team that won 65 games and were destroying teams.

    Harden
    CP3
    Capela
    Gordon
    Ariza
    Luc who was injured for the playoffs
    Green
    Ryno
    PJ

    Compare that to the nets and tell me one player that is better than what Brooklyn has other than Clint.

    What kind of analysis are you looking for? And is that a reasonable expectation? Most likely, it isn't. Watch the games and look for it. You'll be surprised at how often it happens.

    I think the defenses do scheme to double him when he gets the ball off screens, but they also make mistakes and prematurely collapse on him when he doesn't have the ball.
