    we all know why Rivers was drafted as high as he was. he'll probably be the 9th or 10th guy on a team for the next 15 years just because of his pedigree. slowest guard in the nba, easily. not even a good shooter.

    Harden still pushed off. Good jab step though.

    This was slick as hell. Of course after river lost balance pretends to have been pushed by a megatron bulldozer. Good thing refs don't call clutch moments let alone flops.

    I still don't know why Rivers is still in NBA, the guy is one of the all-time worst NBA players I've ever seen.

    I'm not talking about guys glued to the bench, but those who actually get to play meaningful minutes.

    Rivers' offensive repertoire comprises of one move--the crossover dribble. He may do 3-5 crossovers in one possession.

    The irony is that Harden put an ankle breaking move on him. :grin:

    I love Bill Worrell but the jokes aren't hittin on point as it should. Should leave that to Matt Bullard's comedic timing.

    Got to hand it to Mchale for that one, if thats what he drew up, it was a perfect isolation play

    Yeah, that's exactly what I saw. It was a terrible attempt at getting the offensive call once Harden put out his left arm. He ended up looking like an idiot.

    That was really more sticking out his arm to protect the ball, this is a push off:

    But then again, that was a much better defender.

    Parsons' reaction from the 0:26 to 0:29 mark is classic.

    You could say that for literally the whole team other than T-Jones, and even his 5 missed free throws made it more difficult.
