    He had a grade two hamstring injury, think clearly for a sec bro.

    He is one leg. Playing 52 minutes. People are gonna make mistakes.

    WTF, okay right now. Im disappointed in you because you are blatantly trying to create a narrative while ignoring the facts. Go play with a grade two hamstring and get back to me. You can be done. You are flat out ignoring reality.

    Just because you don't want people to use it as an excuse, doesn't mean he didn't have a hamstring injury.

    This ****ing guy mad as hell. Calling people names and trying to make **** personal. Such is life I guess when you get that deeply invested into a loser like Harden.

    Total minutes played by Nets non-starters in Game 7: less than 20.
    Total shots attempted by Nets non-starters in Game 7: zero.

    Lack of depth killed this team.

    what I mean is, let KD carry the team without Harden and Kyrie in game 5. If the Nets win that game, Harden can probably rest till at least game 7 because they’re 3-2 up. Giving Harden an extra 5 days rest would have made the world of difference. But they rushed him back to play 3 45 minute games in a row.

    It’s a bad gamble, and it wouldn’t surprise me if Harden doesn’t fully recover from this.

    The point was/is he still sucks when fully healthy in elimination games. Tonight was no different compared to the last 6.

    I disagree. Harden didn't play well at all when he came back. It's hard to win a game on the fly when both your play makers are out, I agree, but that's when you coach.

    KD could have won with Jeff and Blake.

    The best coaches start pulling players out of their asses. Pop would have had Tyler Johnson and DJ ready to play and they both would have scored 40pt, lol

    I'm fairly confident with the ineptitude of the Houston Rockets owner, they won't be making the playoffs next season. Or the one after. Or the one after. I'll put $100 in the tipjar if they do.

    Harden had a bad game, though. If the dude wants to tough it out and play on one leg, that's fine. But if you're out there playing heavy minutes, you should be judged as much as a healthy player should be judged. Can't commend him for giving it his best without also saying he should have been better.

    Yes, Harden was on one leg. But he also had a bad game. Couldn't drive on people, couldn't shoot for ****, made bad passes.

    You know what you are right, there is too much name calling going on here. I am wrong about that.

    But also let me know when you play on a grade two hammy and get back to me.

    I’m sad right now, but I’m sorry the bucks are not a great team. I know that sounds stupid to say after they just beat the nets. But I’m in shock that the nets weren’t blown out with the way harden looked this series. I have never seen him miss this many wide open jumpers before( Hell it was weird even seeing him left open before like this). All of his jumpers were short. The nets will be ok next year. But harden will be a year older. Such a shame the title was basically right there and then all of a sudden harden who is one of the most durable players in history goes cripple and kyrie steps on Giannis foot smh. You can’t make this **** up

    Then don't play. The Nets medical team are ****ing idiots for letting him play on a grade 2 sprain. The coaches are ****ing idiots not maximizing the amount of rest he should of received these games. Imagine that, a bunch of incompetent fools, letting their big investment jeopardize his health.

    I love Harden, but damn, don't put yourself in that situation.

    I'm responding because I need to complain about the incompetency of that team.

    Yeah you're right. You're 100% in the right headpsace my man!

    It is so good to enjoy what the KNicks franchise enjoyed for so long isn't it!

    Irrelevancy.

    Years of ineptitude and major suckage.

    The joke of the league.

    Jesus if I only had the loser attitude like you did I'd be golden in life!

    Yeah, but once James pulls the hammy, Wall gets owned in the 2nd round by Facundo Campazzo

    He shouldnt have been playing, period. He did as good as was physically possible ON ONE LEG. There is no person with this type of injury that would not play like this.

    Yea typically, you play basketball on two legs. On one leg, things tend to get difficult.
