    How did Kawhi miss 40 games this season and still come back looking unstoppable in the playoffs?? How’d he bounce back so easily?? If he stays healthy the rest of the way, I’ve got the Clippers in the Finals.

    Long story short . . . and I am not being a Harden Homer . .. but its Harden
    Because Harden and the rest of the Clippers were doing well . . .there was no RUSH TO COME BACK
    there was no . . .We need you back to make the playoffs

    This season is a microcosm of what I expect in the playoffs
    The Team keeps them close. . .so Kawhi can come in and kill the other team in the 4th

    Jokic was terrible in game 2, worst game i’ve seen from him. Will be interesting to see how he responds, the greats usually respond pretty well.

    Clippers need to take care of business sooner rather than later
    I would not let the Nuggets hang around

    I hate the Clippers, that team is just gross. But I want Harden to win a chip if the Rockets aren’t getting to the finals.

    i agree

    clippers are 30-11 at home this year

    feels like a "scripted" loss so the clippers can up at 30-12 this year which if you flip that number goes to 213 which i believe is the area code to los angeles, california

    sucks that betting in texas is illegal. i could be making a "killing" off of these scripted sports.


    only time will tell if im wrong, this feels like a clippers loss. i only say harden goes off tonight for 44 or 51 only because this game is technically round 1 and game 3 which is basically #13

    harden has always had monster game 3's in his career

    remember this one

















    or remember the 44 point game vs the warriors on 1/3 in 2019

    I know we used to debate how Hardens game would age as he hit his mid 30s and it seems like it's . . . . doing well.

    I remember some of the Harden haters on ESPN in 2023 (bontemps etc) were trying to sell the fiction that Harden was a toxic asset like Ben Simmons or something - pure clown stuff.

    and not slowing down
    Even Ben Simmons is looking like a legit bench role player
    He still too light and not strong enough but servicable
