    I am one of those people. Bringing "over the hill" Harden back to Houston would be an epic mistake. I think you meant to say, people who don't want Harden.

    nope, those who want Harden on the Rockets should be hoping he chokes, which will reduce his value to Philly and shove him out the door more quickly to free agency

    The nba cheating will be full effect starting tonight or this afternoon based on your location. The NBA wants a Celtics v Lakers rivalry finals matchup to see the two most successful franchises in the league go head to head now that their golden warriors are out.
    Expect some phantom bogus calls for the home team tonight and god help the Nuggets

    MIstake only if it were 3 or 4 years because that would bind his later years to the franchise.......

    basically he would be an assistant coach when he is 36-37.

    People would still gush over his assist rate at 8-9 but who cares at that age.

    I really do hope the 76ers win this series, and win the championship. I don't want Harden back in Houston next year. I want him to be happy in Philly.

    I don't really get this logic. A new season is a new start, whether Harden wins or loses has no connection whether he stays or goes.

    A. Harden wins a ring:
    1. stay in Philly to run it back
    2. leave Philly since mission accomplished (see Kawhi in Toronto)

    B. Harden loses:
    1. Stay in Philly cuz he has unfinished business
    2. leave Philly since it didn't work

    At the end of the day I think Harden will just do what's best for him regardless how they end up this season. Considering how far they went and how Harden bailed them out a couple of times I think Philly gonna get his money ready even if they lose the series.

    Well, if Philly loses, I hope Harden goes somewhere else BUT NOT Houston.

    Why am I not surprised Scott foster is here to send the celtics through.

    What a coincidence harden gets this sht ref for game 7.


    Result basically there already might as well do something productive on Sunday than watch this script game

    The NBA just made sure the Celtics are in the conference Finals. Foster hates Harden and Lewis is a Celtics fan. How do allow those 2 to ref a game 7?

    With Foster and Lewis, it sure does seem that the NBA wants Boston, but not so fast... gematria to the rescue. :confused: Most of those numbers point to the 76ers winning and advancing to the Finals to lose to the Lakers.
