    Didn't Harris shoot like 5 out of 20 something from 3 this series?

    He seems to rough up defenders pretty well with obvious offensive fouls towards the end of the game.

    Plus with James Harden you have the added choke factor of not being able to handle the pressure of the playoffs. This man is something special with how mentally weak he is in the playoffs. I can’t wait to see him choke. If they win game 7 it will be because of KD carrying the nets. In either case, let’s go Suns! #CP3

    I don’t know what’s going to happen in game 7 but it’s quite obvious that if the big 3 were or could get healthy these playoffs would be a cakewalk.

    is stupid your favorite word?
    i find it brilliant that you find such a gem with 39th pick and 76ers tanked 5 years only to become laughing stock of the league again 5 years after they stopped tanking

    The probability that they’d all be healthy at the same time is pretty low, given the evidence of this past season (and, really, the last 2 or 3 seasons). We probably shouldn’t be all that surprised that they’d break down like this.

    He's 5/24 from the 3pt line in his last 4 games.

    It isn't just his bad shooting that's letting him down at the moment, it's his bad defense. He's the reason why the Bucks won last night. He constantly kept leaving Middleton wide open.

    Regardless, the Nets are a different animal at home. I highly doubt KD has another inefficient night. Put it this way, if KD shoots another 30 shots in game 7, he's scoring 50 points. Harden is trying to ease back into it. He's only played 10 games since the start of April. This was only his 2nd game in over 2 weeks..... he's also playing through a hamstring injury. He'll probably be a bit more aggressive next game and test out his hamstring a bit more. If Harden plays as he normally does, he can easily drop 30 points.

    The Nets are due a big scoring night. They're due a game where they shoot around 50% or over 50% from the 3pt line. They haven't done that since game 2. Giannis is probably due a bad game, although he's only scoring around 30 points a game, which shouldn't be enough in most cases. Middleton probably won't score more than 22 points next game. Tucker won't drop many points. Holiday isn't a big scorer. The roles players of the Bucks are not big scorers. In other words, if the Nets can get their shooting right as they normally do, they win the game. It's their offense that's let down in the past 3 to 4 games.

    Harris and Griffin need to let them fly. They really got used to ball watching in game 4, and was really tentative in game 5.

    Oh look it’s the guy who puts his harden notifications on with obsession. But of course it doesn’t apply

    I have a very limited vocabulary and I find about half of the population stupid, so it readily applies. ;)

    We can talk **** about Philly but we went from being on of the best offensive teams to the worst team in the league and we still might not get a good draft pick out of it. We have threads about Wood being untouchable and 2 years of a super max contract for a career loser. What's saying about glass houses. Rockets fans have no room to criticize any other team except for maybe Utah. We literally have the worst team, the worst owner, and potentially no lottery picks. How do you like them apples?

    I'm not sure which game you watched, but last night, Joe Harris left Middleton wide open only once out of his 16 shot attempts.
