    Still remember he got torched by Taj Gibson in the playoffs and we had to put Harden on Gibson.

    weak ass mentality. dude makes more than CF will make in their entire lifetime combined and still complains.

    really? you're going to shoot horribly because of the houston fans pressure? BRO NO ONE EVEN GOES TO TOYOTA CENTER.

    he's passing it off on the fans but it probably was a locker room thing. lot of salty guys about his contract is my guess. the thing is if he could have shot half-way consistent he would have stayed in the rotation.

    He felt pressured because he got overpaid. I thought we also picked him up later in 2019 on a non-guaranteed minimum contract, but he still sucked and got waived early on the season..

    Anderson's one skill was shooting and he couldn't even do that right. He passed up so many open shots and missed the ones he took. I don't miss him at all.

    Ryan Scrubberson should just enjoy his 18M. I cant blame him for turning down so much money but he sucked ass.

    As a basketball player, I've said many times that Giannis as a person is a pretty cool and good dude.

    Role players like Anderson gets no pity from me.
    We overpaid for him to do one fking job he couldn't, his fking contract was literally preventing us from making upgrades/changes to our team. Btch more, idk y posters r defending this player. He got paid well and couldn't perform when we needed him. For all dem harden haters shtting on harden for choking vs the Warriors, this man didn't even score a fking point in that series.

    he should b glad fans aren't attacking him online for his poor performance with his fking contract, btching about not having fun.

    Lol so you knew immediately after signing a contract that you were over paid and under performed because of it. I am not a Paul George fan, but as soon as he signed his extension he said he owed them a ring, and he is one of the hardest working players in the league, complete gym rat, if you feel guilty about what you're making, just put in the work. Loser.

    The fact he was out there for Steph to torch him says more about MDA's lack of playoff coaching

    80 mil reasons why he needs to choose his words carefully at this point. Sounds like an ungrateful SOB right now. He was here for 1 reason and that was to help spread the floor. I'm sorry for his loss earlier in his career but when he signed that contract he signed to an obligation. With that came expectations which obviously were not met.

    Yeah you are awful to him as a basketball player. How you can then sit on a high horse then is beyond me. Most of the comments are always towards then as a bball player, we dont know them in person and lots of them have done more for charity than majority of the board combined. Cp3 and Jwall for example have helped so many people with their charitable activities and the NBA mandated initiatives.

    Awful to him as a basketball player lmao. Did you see the things people were saying about Anderson? All I said was he plays disgusting basketball, give me a break lmao. That is super soft if you think I was "awful" to him lol.

    The comments are being said to him as a basketball player as well. Nobody knows him irl how can they comment on him as a person? There's no need to qualify unless you specifically state you had an encounter irl or w/e. When people say he is soft or w/e thats on the court they dont know if Anderson will beat their ass IRL dude's 6'8 he's a tall dude and most of the netizens here are shrimps, obese or both.

    Theres no difference from what you are saying. If you went up to Giannis and said he was disgusting and had no skill you think he will says its ok if you tell him thats him just as a bball player? At the end of the day you are attacking his body of work there's no difference between you and the rest of the board gimme a break.

    Okay? Even if you dont like his play you guys crap on him so unnecessarily. Same thing with Corey Brewer and now John Wall, the absolute animosity on here for those guys is well past the point of criticism. Give me a freaking break.

    I would say "you're an elite basketball player but I find your basketball disgusting and I dont like to watch it" is different from "you couldnt even shoot, we paid 80 million for nothing, you were dead weight." It was way worse when the dude was actually playing here too. Im not attacking his body of work lmao. Sheesh man, learn to use context, you make such crappy arguments.

    So basically he couldn't handle the pressure. Pressure must be immense for a 3m a year guy making 18m to perform.

    Like everything in life there are shades of gray.

    Ryno makes some good points, but he did start sucking.

    Said all the time that when players aren’t truly involved in the offense it’s hard to get into a rhythm. Even if James is driving and creating open shots everyone isn’t a spot up shooter and often times it’s being involved and doing different things that get guys in a rhythm.

    It’s not a coincidence that a lot of James teammates suddenly go ice cold for long stretches.

    Even good shooters like Joe Harris are not immune.
