It's karma, during the Rockets v Lakers bubble games, they were so smug. During plays, lakers bench were celebrating almost coming onto the court.
Im not a fan of players anymore, but I'm a fan of moments and opportunity. Booker is out here trying to send ninjas fishing from every spot on the floor in his first (real)playoff game. I hope Suns can win this game... a 20pt lead is nothing in the NBA, LeBron is coming, lol
The only close out game he didn't bring it was that Jazz game where CP3 went off. Even in that game 7 against CP3's Thunder, Harden made all the crucial defensive plays in the clutch despite sucking the entire night, the very definition of stepping up.
Think about if Harden just put in the work for the Rockets this year. Weak Lakers. Murray out for Denver. CP likely will go down for Phx. He would have worked all these teams left.
Game 5 and 6 with no Kawhi against the Spurs is a haunting moment In my Harden Rockets fandom. I was never the same after that series.
Not that we would have won, but it could have been a real statement playoff run for his overall legacy. Just the fact that we always had all time amazing Warrior teams in our way and now its wide open. So upsetting.
Harden will be the best, most important player on the floor on a championship team, but IMO, he cant be trusted to be the one person to lift the squad to glory. It's why CP3 was the PERFECT teammate for Harden. Harden needs a hype man.. too bad CP3's hyping Harden up was considered nagging.
Random Fact. If both the Lakers and Clippers lose this weekend, it will be first time in 27 seasons (1994) for the Pacific Time Zone to be shut out of the 2nd round of the playoffs. Since then, there have only been 2 seasons (1996 and 2005) with no California team making the 2nd round of the playoffs, with Seattle being the team to make the 2nd round both years.
The last one is the worst. Didn't even show up on the screen for an offensive possession. Going to be an interesting post game presser. What will LeBron go to the podium with? Walking boot? Patch over his eye or Coke bottle glasses?
