u can’t trust these soft, 1 dimensional role players to show up in the playoffs against good teams, that’s why I like pure hoopers like Jeff Green if Jeff Green’s shot isn’t falling, he can still drive to the rim, post up, be used in the PnR, or use his athleticism in transition if Harris is bricking, he’s useless aside from the attention he gets from the defense since u still can’t leave him then he’s doing dumb sh*t like fouling Middleton 3 times on 3 point attempts, and he’s not securing defensive rebounds he better show up in game 7 because enough is enough…I’ve seen this dude airball multiple shots this series and even hit the backboard
Bro its like you dont understand averages. Yes that game counted to them too, and they would be even lower without that game. Is it that hard to comprehend? Typical James Harden elimination game is same number of assists as turnovers and 30%field goald. Thats historical data and i have no reason to believe he will turn Michael Jordan tommorow
Harden should of been able to play a few minutes the end of the (Brown game) - Nets win that if he is
Dumbtoni gonna dumbtoni. Plays 6 players and still get dunked on by the Bucks. The previous game its 7 players. So I guess game 7 its just the 5 starters playing 40 mins each? Lmao! Kd is on fumes and coming off injury and Harden is playing with an injury. I'm gonna be honest those 7 picks look great AF rn, Dumbtoni and his apprentice ran their big 3 right to the ground on their first year lmao. Why people keep giving dumbtoni chance after chance with power teams is beyond me. He will get results in the regular season because he overplays his dudes but he flops in the post season every time because his team is worn out from try harding in the regular season and he is too dumb to make good subs or any changes. And I know Nash is the coach but he is just a figurehead, Dumbtoni is the one really calling the shots.
i mean will anyone would be surprised if both harden and durant tear their achilles or hamstrings or whatever, playing 48 minutes?!
LMAO, yea the hamstring injury was overuse and not something Harden was dealing with all year. Same with Kyrie, that was not overruse. WHO ELSE ARE THEY SUPPOSSED TO PLAY. If you noticed Bud has also shortened his rotations and that won him the game last night. Just stop dude, those 7 picks look great LOL keep telling yourself that.
Right. But I’m not saying they SHOULD be healthy. It’s the hypothetical if they were healthy. The only surprise is that Harden was out. If they make it past this round, James and Kevin may be enough.
The sports betting sites mostly had Bucks winning game 6; which happened. Was something like +5. Think them same sites still have Nets winning the series.
Its going to come down to durant. People said getting to the finals is so easy in the east. No kyrie,No love Lebron took his team to the Finals. Its time Durant steps it up.
The Bucks and Giannis are relying on Middleton to have another 35 points plus game, which most likely won't happen. They're also relying on the Nets shooting like crap from the 3pt line again. If the Nets shoot around 40 to 45% from the 3pt line, they win the series. Harden only has to drop around 20 points. I feel KD will drop his usual 30 to 35 points, so it's up to the role players, especially Harris..... to drop points. If the Bucks allow KD to have another 30 shots, they're in trouble. You can't expect to give an efficient shooter like KD another 30 shot game and expect him to only drop 32 points again.
He sat the 4th quarter in game 6 and clippers were done after they blew that lead. These are his elimination game stats. 26.7 PPG, 5.7 RPG, 5.8 APG, 2.6 SPG, 0.7 BPG on .399/.327/.825 splits with 5.4 TOV/g as a starter on the Rockets. He hasn't been good in elimination despite a few outliers.
He has been playing a bunch of minutes. Fatigue could be a factor in game 7, as it apparently was for game 6.
