I think so too. Not a big deal, but I think our own bench players would have appreciated them being there for them.
Assuming Denver finishes 2nd, if we end up with the same record as Portland at the end of the season, which team gets 3rd?
I think they're keeping him chained to the bench. They're calling him a mentor to the young guys they want to develop, but they don't want him or anyone else out there playing well, jeopardizing their tanking.
I could give two s**ts if the Knicks feel disrespected. And I hate to complain after a win like this, but I was super angry to see that. Harden gets such unfair treatment from the media, why do something like this? Chris Paul talks about how his Clippers team weren’t close by the end and how last years team was super close. You have to stay on the bench to support your teammates. You don’t even have to be like Golden State who would stand up and cheer for their scrubs, but you can’t leave early. Not cool
