    I don't get why people haven't yet realised that this is Hardens first time in leading a team, there is a thing called pressure .. plus he's used to coming off the bench, not being the star of a team .. give him a break, jesus

    Golly! It's a pity that I'm not Catholic. I might be offended, otherwise. My significant other's great-uncle is a retired priest at Villanova, though. I wonder what he'd think of your comment regarding a "Pope?" My guess is that he'd laugh and ask me why I'm wasting my time conversing with someone so clearly bereft of adequate brain cells in that demented noggin of his. As you no doubt need the assistance, here's some helpful information for you, just so you truly understand how you are viewed by me, and most likely my S.O's great-uncle, were he aware of your existence.

    Just in case you're confused:


    de·ment·ed

    /diˈmentid/

    Adjective

    1.Suffering from dementia.
    2.Driven to behave irrationally due to anger, distress, or excitement.

    Synonyms

    mad - crazy - insane - lunatic - daft



    Don't thank me. It was my pleasure to educate you about yourself during your hopefully brief visit to our outstanding BBS.

    Lol, how come I knew you were gonna keep posting. Just like the everyone else. Not above the fray to put their 2 cents in.

    It's a wonderful thing, freedom of speech, try not to obstruct others.

    8-25 vs LA - 32%
    5-18 vs Phoenix - 28%
    7-24 vs Memphis - 29%
    2-10 vs Denver - 20%
    7-19 vs Sacramento - 37%
    3-9 vs Memphis - 33%
    6-24 vs Indiana - 25%
    6-16 vs San Antonio - 38%
    5-14 vs Utah - 36%
    6-16 vs Golden State - 38%

    First of all, there is no such thing as freedom of speech on a forum/bbs. Your posts and posting ability exists at the tolerance of moderators and forum owner.

    Second of all, I strongly believe that stupidity trumps freedom of speech. Dumb posts and threads like yours deserve to have the ability to make them stripped.

    They had a harden-cam on nba.com, and it was very telling. At the start of the game, harden was doggin' it on every early possession. Trailing every offensive play, just stepping past the half court line halfway through the shot clock, basically looking completely dis-interested and zoned out and out of it.

    There is definitely something wrong with harden at this point, whether the problem is physical, mental, emotional, or all of the above.

    Seriously. All you have to do here is say Lin is garbage to get a whole bunch of reps. LOL...

    They need Lin, harden is having to do too much. If lin plays and is even decent it'll take a lot of pressure off harden. Ppl forget how young harden is, and this is his first season as a #1 option. He's just gotta make better decisions

    Umm what? Who gained a lot of rep bars by bashing Lin?

    On the contrary, lots of users get rep bars from LOF's from bashing the team/coach.

I dont post much but man this guy doesnt know ***** or just wants to get attention and obviously you got mine to only tell you to stop making threads! Please!! :mad: I like to hear peoples opinions and not just stupidity about him helping his old team?.. Youll be back on board once Harden gets back to his old self just like everyone else ;)

    True

    But on that particular play he wasn't drawing a foul. He simply just put his head down drove into a pack of defenders and handed the ball to Fisher. OKC couldn't have drew the play up any better. Before that he randomly threw a bullet pass outta bounds with Garcia standin right next to him. The worst part is he's doing this against the plays the coach is calling.


    It just looks bad
