Per STATMUSE - this is believed to be the first double-double of notorious playoff choker James Harden's 45 year playoff career
He’s 26, not a top 15 guy now and not someone that’s going to win you a title as your best player and probably not 2nd best. I expect KD to be really good all 3 years left on his contract after this one, so it’s not like it’s win it all or this thing is a failure this year- they will have continuity and another chance next year.
KD is an injury magnet at this point in his career. There is a strong likelihood he misses extended time in each of his season the rest of his time with The Suns. CP3 is going to look even worse next year. This season is the best change for PHX to win a ring. Bridges is now a feature player. I fully expect him to average 22-24 PPG while still being a top 3 defense player in the league.

KD just needs to be healthy in the playoffs. He’s ****ing awesome man. It might play out badly or it might be awesome for the next year- the book isn’t written. Bridges is a nice player. He doesn’t swing championships though. It was a good trade by the Suns even though they did give up a lot.
The basis of the conversation was us wanting them to tank so that the picks get better. If we give them back the picks then it's kinda moot.
Harden looks so bad when he can't score on his step backs. The driving ability is basically gone at this point
Five points, these announcers are acting like they're up 20, must want a game 6-7 for ratings. We'll see what happens second half but not a done deal at all right now.
Does Philly even know it's the playoffs?!? Halftime show was just their dancers and their dunk team and the courtside DJ. Not a hula hoop or a unicycle in sight.
Philly looks bad. The crowd is dead for a reason. That said, since they are only down 5, they could still come out and blow out the Nets in the second half. I'm not really worried about Philly yet.
