    Minutes restrictions dont account for freak injuries.

    still won’t get a player as good as harden in any of these drafts. Our best bet is cade Cunningham this year or jaden hardy in 2022. But we all know if cade or hardy become threats to hakeems numbers like mcgrady and to a greater extent harden. Most of this forum will turn on them. That’s y I hope we draft josh giddey, kispert in this years draft and Chet holmgreen in 2022. Euro players never get criticized on this forum. I want cade to go to a fan base where he will be universally supported like dame is in Portland, and like how curry is in golden state.. that ain’t happening in htown

    I think you’re really putting too much thought into my post

    If Harden was healthy, this series would have already over.

    The Bucks will get swept in the finals if they win this series. They've looked awful in every single game so far. The only reason the series isn't over is that the Nets have been poor on the offense in the last 2 games.

    Harden is by far their most important player. Kyrie and KD can go off in games, but Harden is by far their most consistent performer.

    Pretty deflating for the Bucks, to be honest.

    - Kyrie out for the 2nd half of the 2nd quarter, Durant playing like complete garbage
    - Bucks playing with a LOT of intensity, Tucker playing out of his mind, the crowd is going absolutely bonkers, you made 11 3s in the first half...

    ...and you're only up by 5?

    You should be up by 20+.

    if the Nets lose I'll forever blame Bruce brown. if the Nets were up 3-0 none of this would be happening.

    That's why the Bucks are garbage. The 76ers will eat them alive. The only reason they weren't 3-0 down is because of Brown doing dumb **** towards the end of the game and because of Harris having the worst game of his life.

    The problem they have now is Kyrie will miss the next game, and Harden probably won't be back. KD will have to win for them.

    harden played the fewest minutes of his career this season and is injured. kawhi being on pop's minutes didn't keep zaza from taking out his ankle like kyrie just now. the warriors managing minutes didn't stop durant and klay from getting hurt in the same series or steph from missing last season. injuries happen.

    Bucks will probably pull away in the 2nd half

    KD beating the Bucks 1 on 5 needing to drop 35+ and create for others is unlikely to happen…he’s a turnover machine when he drives in traffic

    Kyrie’s injury had nothing to do with minutes played

    I doubt they are deflated in any way. they will take a victory any way they can get it. they gave up a ton to get holiday. if they go out in the 2nd round it's a monumental failure. they don't really have a path to get any better without taking a couple steps back.

    lol its not a freak injury i basically predicted it in this very thread few days ago, when you play hard and play a lot of minutes you get injured especially if your name is kyrie or durant

    Harden is needed so all three can loaf it to the finals. going to be tough for KD alone.
