He did kind of invent the behind Harden defense though. He did about a good of job guarding Harden last post season as anyone has
Are there Harden/Rockets highlights with Suns announcers (eddie johnson) being salty while Harden torches them?
He had horse throat so his whining was even more annoying then usual. It’s a shame because I still remember his game winner in the game 4 of the Utah series and his 31 off the bench in game 3 all the way back when.
Man last night was awesome. I was at the Sixers game earlier in the year when PHX was hot and the fans were so ****ing annoying. Talking about the playoffs and DB being an MVP. They didn't have anything to say last night. Still hate our defense tho
EJ was fine last night. After that twitter user called him out and KD chipped in, he changed his ways. He called himself out on air about being “hypocritical if I didn’t say” a few times.
Who the hell are the Suns commentators? Had their feed on for the game - typically like listening to the bad team's announcers as they generally aren't salty and don't try to throw subtle shade at Harden like the better team's announcers do. Boy was I wrong. One of the commentators could not hide his disgust with Harden. No mate, Harden doesn't score like he does because he's the only one who's got a green light like that. Every single star in the league has that green light - where the hell is the line up of people behind Harden scoring these points? Dude could not give Harden credit if his life depended on it.
Morey needs another 5 if Tyson is being load managed and Hartenstein not trusted. Starting Tucker at 5 is not good solution. Some FA options: 7'2 Edy Tavares 7'9 wingspan (Real Madrid) 6'9 Epke Udoh 7'5 wingspan (Beijing Ducks) 7'0 Bebe Nogueira 7'6 wingspan (no team)
It was probably Eddie Johnson, he can’t shut up about his disdain for Harden. He’s the epitome of get off my lawn guy these days. EJ couldn’t hold Hardens jock and I think that has something to with it also.
Maybe sign 6'10 Nikola Mirotic (7'0 wingspan). Would be a great spacer for Russ with his 3 point shooting prowess. Or maybe 6'11 energizer bunny Jan Vesely (7'7 wingspan) who could run with Russ and play above the rim.
killers' instinct sometimes not born to be, they practice to be, and need maintaining. the ability to lock down need to be polished during regular seasons, that's what pop did and wrote to their dna while da tiro in their prime. anyway, im a half empty guy, like brit slang 'we got used to feeling worry about having nothing to worry about'.
Edy Tavares, Nikola Mirotic or Jan Vesely are not available. They're not free-agents. Sometimes Euroleague players have an NBA-clause in their contracts, but that's usually not the case with the ones who play for the top Euroleague teams. NBA/Euroleague/CBA etc. have agreements in place to prevent players with active contracts in one league to sign in new contracts in the other competitions.
