    All it took was a dumb ass flagrant 2 to ruin the mojo of the pelicans. Hayes was an extra body the pelicans could have used.

    Bucks didn't miss a beat with out Middleton. Suns seems to OK so far without Booker.

    Sometimes I get mad when thinking about how we don't have CP

    But then I remember, we got John Wall

    Then I get homicidal

    CP is a basketball wizard

    I think he scored or assisted on like 10+ points straight

    24 points 14 assist 0 turnovers against a group of men trying their darndest to stop him

    Suns is 4/26 for 3's (15.4%). They're still winning.

    The pick that goes to the Thunder in 2024 better be in the 20's or I will feel the same.

    Torrey Craig must be sports betting trying to cover some spread, why would he foul someone on the 3pt line.

    Thanks Harden!

    The look of a man that accomplished exactly what he needed to do.

    CP3 is in the same boat Harden is in and hasn't won a championship either. I do wish the Westbrook mistake was never done and Harden would have just gotten along with CP3. What could of been. Damn 2019-2020 that CP3 came out of shape.

    The overlooked part of that season was that the Rockets tried to fill the loss of Moute and Ariza with the likes of James Ennis and Michael Carter Williams and the corpse of Iman Shumpert. This is the roster of a team that just came off of a 3-2 WCF against the Warriors dynasty:

    Paul - Gordon - Harden - Tucker - Capela
    Rivers - Shumpert - Gerald - House - Faried
    Chiozza - Frazier - Edwards - Clark - Hartenstein

    That's a disgusting bench. Absolutely putrid.

    Solution: trade for Russell Westbrook.
