    TNT guys wouldn't be circle jerking Russ if Harden was actually playing well. At this point, it's not an exaggeration to say that Westbrook is outplaying Harden, and MVP voters will only feel vindicated.

    I was paraphrasing but that was very close to what Reggie had been saying all half.

    Westbrook will cry during his MVP speech as he crowns nene as the real MVP

    Harden is like Greg Maddux or Mariano Rivera. Doesn't have great velocity but his intelligence and deception will keep him in the league for a long time. Westbrook is a 100mph fireballer that will quickly deteriorate once he loses his velocity.

    It's just funny to me on Facebook guys like Adams and kanter are lobbying hard for Westbrook MVP when all the media bases their case off of Westbrook having asses and dicks for teammates

    You have to give Roberson credit. He's really playing excellent defense on James.

    On TNT halftime they showed Lou leaving his guy and Charles wondered why out loud. We have some bad bball iq defenders on this team.

    Russ shooting like ****. This might be the game he actually shoots well in the 4th. Hopefully we have a nice cushion by then.

    I've always felt like people underestimate dumb, athletic players. They can just overwhelm you with their sheer force. It's actually unathletic, smart types that suffer more when the pressure is on.

    Hope Les has a good talk with the refs, if not, we could be in the penalty soon, and hack-roberson will be deployed early in the 2nd half

    Yeah i guess so, even though, tbh i was referring to the fact that they cannot use the replay if not in the last two minutes of the game, some bs that gets away may end up to alter everything later...overall though, i really think the nba should use fiba rules for some aspects....like basket interference to say one...

    Yeah, I guess you're right. Gordon's been too valuable off the bench this series to muck with that right now. I imagine it's difficult for MDA to allocate the appropriate minutes to an 8 man rotation based on recent play alone. Capella seems to have broken out of his funk so there's always hope.

    I guess my point is that I'm watching Ryan nail everything in warm-ups and you can tell adrenaline has something to do with his poor shooting. We're going to need him hitting that shot at a higher clip.

    ooh, a whole montage of westbrook's teammates sucking and harden's teammates being great.

    nevermind wb's horrible shooters are shooting 3's better than our great shooters in this series.



    what was the last possession that wasn't a harden 3? just make one dammit!

    Adams is the youngest of 18 kids. Guess who is his daddy?
