how can the Wolves be so bad at defense with Thibs? I know they're young but they have no concept of where to be on rotations or help defense. It's been frustrating watching them this year and still not understanding how they still have hype
2 great christmas games followed by 2 dud games featuring teams with 0 heart (bulls and wolves) against motivated teams (spurs and thunder) cmon nba! christmas day games are your speciality!
for the past two years i remember all the games being good games (except maybe when the lakers play). 4:1 ratio
Selfish player. Channeling my inner Mike Singletary... Cannot play with him. Cannot win with him. Can't do it. Harden is a loser. Harden is all about himself. Harden is a stat-padder. MVP? Not even close. All-NBA? Nope. *Some may or may not have said/implied that last year.
Unfortunately it's looking that way. I will say this Westbrook the past 4 games has played really really well. Imo his best stretch all year. I don't care for the triple double garbage but that three straight 40+ ppg was impressive. Every time I watch the thunder there playing some bad teams. Do they ever play good teams? Lol. I think houston will in all likelyhood be a 55-60 win team and snag that 2-3 seed. Is that enough to get harden the MVP? It doesn't look like it now but I suspect that there more ppl that like what Houston and harden are doing than we no about. I know a lot of the basketball nerd writers actually don't like what Westbrook is doing. Is there more people that side with them? We'll see. But the main stream media is all over his junk. It's pretty bad.
The Game is not over, but let's be honest, CP3 deserves the L for thinking the caramel crushed velvet blazer and turtle neck was appropriate bench attire.
Overhyped? Yes Not that good? No. He's a good player but last year when espn said he was already a top 25 player all time. That was insane. If we're really being honest last year was his first true MVP/all time great year. The guys been a 20-23ppg 7assist guy that shoots 40+% on threes for a while. That's an allstar and top 10 player forsure but top 25 all time? No way not even close. It bums me out that this guy is a b2b MVP and the first and only unanimous MVP. There's been so many players that deserved that over him. I never understood the hype. He's a great player and everything went right for them last year. Now he's just reverting back to the guy he really is and that's a top 10 player allstar who is one of the biggest if not the biggest defensive liability superstar in the game. Harden absolutely got robbed of the MVP two years ago.
Not that good doesn't mean that he is not good, just that he is not THAT good. Last year was his best for sure and will remain his best. Top 10 for sure but nothing more.
