    there is no pressure for him to win. it's house money, he will launch. that is if he wins the play in.

    As long as he stays away from the Rockets, I congratulate him for the next decade.

    For every bum tattoo he gets, 2x on Sundays excluding the games against the Rockets.

    Damn, if only prime Harden got to play 38 year old Curry, 36 year old Draymond...and 39 year old Al Horford.

    :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Curry magic running dry. 7 points on 9 shots.

    The Hornets and Warriors Clippers games were so lucrative for the league, the NBA can promote their Play In on those games alone.

    Prime Harden, with CP3 and a team analytically built around him to defeat the GSW.....

    It was ime too, we blame jg for his offense when our offense was just bad, horrible spacing. Jg was getting trapped and blitz by gsw and it was his first playoff. And we gave up on him bc of fred...fred shouldn't be on this team tbh shoulda been harden

    I agree with your statement, his one phenomenal year, was he had Chris Paul getting him to his spots.
    He's always been in the 2nd tier of NBA stars.

    Analytically built to give them a SHOT against KD, Steph, Klay, and Dray all at their peak.

    It only was possible because of the monster that prime Harden was.

    yeah this is not out of Curry BS range.

    You need to be up by like 20 with 3 mins left against him, any moment he gets hot and hits 2-3 BS shots and next thin you know you're in a 2 point game.

    Another bad decision by Stone

    I was actually rooting for Devin post CP3, Ayton, post Bridges.......he was at the cusp but never made the jump to being a superstar.

    He is still a great midrange shooter showing flashes here and there.
