    I watched him take a charge in game 3.

    That takes a lot of energy out of you.

    D.Rose also shot 35% in a series (against Miami) while shooting 24 FGA per game.

    Anyone listen to McHale on the radio half an hour ago? He essentially threw Lin and Harden under the bus. He said that they wanted to dump into Dwight but one player wanted to play hero ball...

    That's because Rose couldn't do anything with LeBron guarding him

    I knew MEM would give OKC fits...I called MEM beating them again. Everybody knew Westbrook was out last year, but no excuse for them this year.

    The Griz in reality are a upper 50s win team. They are very good. Marc Gasol being out hurt their RS record. They are actually better than alst season since they got shooters like Mike Miller and Courtney Lee(3 and D guy).

    Looks like Harden took my advice of not playing defense and saving all the energy on offense.

    Good strategy.

    We cant let Harden spend all his energy on defense. He is our main facilitator on offense.

    Think of the big picture folks. Lose the battle but win the war.

    It is funny how the big three of OKC are all having poor efficient and poor play in the playoffs. Honestly, I think it's a maturity thing. Them getting to the Finals playing that type OKC isolation ball has cemented their play to be as such, which is very inefficient play. It's troubling.

    But specifically on Harden, he has to step up. It's now a trend to expect poor shooting performances from him and that's not what superstar do. He should be beasting Matthews. He is stopping himself.

    lol.


    On a serious note, Harden is playing like a bonafide loser. This series will show us if harden really is a guy we can rely on going forward. I think he can't be, there has never been a champion so bad on one side of the floor.

    Just opened this thread to see a Harden Addidas ad, "It's the playoffs, step up your game."


    Oh, sweet irony.
