Skip Bayless: If James Harden stays with Rockets, Houston will be a major player in playoffs

No bro he is just heavy. He got a ****ing second chin in some cuts for ****s sake lol. Bottom line is he seems to not be phased by extra weight, still is very quick so that's all it matters

 

I wonder if he does all this acting when camera is not rolling

 

Bash me all you want but I think this team is on par with Lakers team in talent if not better. Chemistry probably not even close but that can be build. Am I saying this team will beat the Lakers? No. I think they could if everyone stays healthy and plays to their potential.

Wall and Cousins both had injuries but they look good, so does Durant. I don't know if its new age medicine and surgeries that are helping these players recover but recently these players just seem to be recovering well. Wall and Cousins are both 30, they are not washed up and they look good. Cousins + Wall + Harden + Gordon (if playing good) + Wood I feel like is more talented than the peak Warriors team potentially.

That Warriors team has been around for a while and had mad chemistry and good coaching but I don't think its impossible for this team to get there.

 

At what point do the Rockets stop accepting calls for James? Will the fans ever even be aware? Do you all think James will say something to the effect of "I want to be here" or will be just sign the extension or will it be an open question that is never really addressed? i just want to know when I can stop using the various trade checkers on the web....

 

Harden can afford to wait and see. He has no incentive to sign an extension right now. He can get it at any time. I think unless an insane offer gets thrown on the table you won't be needing to worry until the deadline. I doubt anything will happen before that.

 

Just wait for brabra to break some news. Or you could always ask Monbear.

 

No they won’t. They have the worst defense in the league. They are a first round exit max.

 

Agreed, if they are missing 6 players, they are a first round exit max.

Now the full team on the other hand....

 

Then you missed an explosion of high level buffoonery that I found very entertaining. Your loss.

 

Great to see Skip ("thhkiiiup") on the bbs again.

 

Haven't been watching the talking heads lately but in that video, they mention several times how fat Harden looks and about 15lbs overweight. Is anyone mentioning how sloppy and fat Luka looks?

 

If it happens, it happens.

If not, then okay.

Bashing is so outdated in 2020, a drastic year.

And yeah Covid is real, still people out there who do not believe that is the case.

 

I don't know if the Covid thing was directed at me but when I said things about medicine and surgeries I was referring to their Achilles injuries. My point being that the argument against getting hyped for such players is that they wont be the same because of it.

 

Skip makes $6 million a year because buffoons love watching and listening to him
It’s never because they agree or disagree with his well produced and edited ‘opinions’

but you know the difference between leaders and lemmings

 

I was referring to the overall 'We're as good as the Lakers' sentiment.

I get it, people want to see some positives again in these times.

From a personal view, I am good with every sports related outcome, but yes, the Harden thing was also weighing on me.

I mentioned Covid because I think Covid is the bigger monster to fight, sports is for recreational purposes.

It is the perspective.

I do feel we are talented team but brittle. Everything might just crash down at any moment.

 

luka and steph are deemed and considered untouchable by the media, the media even fat shamed zion last year

 

Skip made the same show that he had on espn with Stephen A on Fox sports and people still think it’s a different show
It’s like Clutchfans is a bunch of suckers falling for the same Ponzi scheme
@Jontro @Os Trigonum
Sell these idiots some skin care products or workout shakes and have them sell it to their dumb friends too
Media sprung suckers are like fish in a barrel
