    They got rid of Bruce Bowen for these fly by night announcers I see.

    Allowing Harden to ISO is like playing with Bo Jackson in Techmo Bowl or Akuma in Street Fighter II.

    The most annoying assertion was that if Lebron ISO-ed every play he would average 40.

    Well, Lebron was booted from playoff contention 10 games ago, if he could average 40 on iso step back three's maybe he should of tried that?

    Rockets went up by 20, then 30. Then Harden came back in to get his 30pts.

    LOL.. i spent 4 years in Cleveland (2013-2017) and watched Lebron play. He and Kyrie ran a similar offense to what Harden and CP run. ISO ISO ISO, find a shooter or score themselves. Only thing is Harden runs it 100x's better than Lebron.

    If Lebron could do it, why didnt he?

    And what if Harden played for the Clippers? Would he get criticized by Clippers announcers, or would they call him the MVP?

    Conversely, you could argue that it further feeds into and reinforces the false Harden narrative.

    He was hopeful that the Clippers would make a run in the second half.

    When the reality of the epic ass whooping set in, his bitterness came out.

    I mean it’s one thing to be biased but they were getting blown out while harden was making the craziest passes and he just kept going on and on digging himself deeper with his stupid takes

    It was extremely embarrassing

    Um...there's nothing that Harden does that is anymore exploitative of the game than the way Lou Williams plays and they love Sweet Lou.

    It came earlier than that. It was about the 3 minute mark in the third when Harden got a 3 and 1 on Gallo. Lawler started saying Harden has a real shot at MVP. This other dude went on a spiel about if Lebron was more selfish, in this system, he would be doing the same thing as Harden.

    He totally switched up. before the 3 minute mark in the 3rd he was actually complimenting the Rockets and Harden on the defense and how Harden is such a good player with his change of speed etc. It's as if he could no longer keep up the ruse for the camera, showed his whole ass.

    I agree. I think it's very likely he wins that Player's MVP award again which would make it 3/4 right?

    It just is what it is. A lot of the media don't like him.

    I'm so tired of this "anyone could do this" nonsense. Eddie Johnson is the worst with this right now.

    I'M A KILLA! Give George Gervin these rules! Puhlease! Michael would average 50! If Harden average 36, Michael would average 50! Puhlease! You let Lebron take 30 shots a game, see what he do. SEE WHAT HE DO. Puhlease.

    I have seen a change in a particular azzhat recently that covers the Warriors, Ric Bucher. You can tell that something drastic has happened when that guy creates an article with the tagline, "Players respect Giannis but they FEAR the Beard." We know where he gets his source material. That Oracle game did something to them deep down. Not even the refs could stop Harden trying to rig the game.

    Typical below average retired ex-NBA player. the guy talks like Harden is the only one trying to pat his stats; what about westbrook when he was late in game missing and grabbing his misses to get his rebounds up to get that triple double ... nba media and retired players simply hate the rockets and harden.
