Lmao the goofballs who frequent this board really think we take the low road here(also known as the stupid road) LOL.
Agreed. The way they defended Durant/Irving and now Giannis and the bucks have been impressive (not to mention how stifling they were in that 28-7 stretch). I think they'll beat the heat, but Miami is really well suited to defend them. I like Butler, Bam, PJ, Oladipo and their switch everything defense against Tatum, Brown. The Heat's offense w/o a healthy Lowry will be ugly as usual however.
Man Giannis is REALLY lucky Harden and Kyrie were hurt last year in their series or he would be getting a lot **** right about now. Credit to Celtics GM for sticking with his coach and believing in him and not dealing Brown like a lot of people would have.
if they win this year People will talk about Tatum and Brown like they talk about Curry and klay Rocket River
They didn’t have Middleton …am I missing something else here? bucks we’re at a clear disadvantage and Boston is pretty good. Harden doesn’t factor in imo (outside of 17-18 playoff games) he usually books a trip with lil B ahead of time now
Credit to Giannis for finishing teams off even if they were undermanned. I know others that couldn't accomplish that and it was disappointing.
Yes, Giannis’ team got blown out. Maybe if he had 45/40/20 they could have won. (Instead just a measly 25/20/9) ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ And Harden would love to have a “lesser” “fake” “asterisked” ring. Spoiler LOL Y’all love to kill to Giannis and Kawhi for their “fake” rings, taking advantage of injured teams. Yes, let’s discredit them because THEY DID WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO! As I said, Harden would love one of them. And maybe if he took advantage of a Spurs team missing it’s two better players or a Durantless/Cousinless Warriors… ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ Guess the Rockets got some fake, lesser rings. Jordan wasn’t there. They don’t count. Right? *Missed one season; came back in March of the other No secret, no surprise CF/Harden groupies three most hated players are Steph, Westbrook and Giannis. And not because they “suck”. For what, because they “stole” Harden’s MVPs (and lesser degree, the media “likes” them while “hating” on Harden.) Still haven’t gotten over it. Westbrook as a Washington Wizard Westbrook as a Laker There’ll be another thread if he’s traded. You talk about the Harden “bitter exes” … Y’all are obsessed with that man. “Can Curry carry his own team?!” First it was he/GS wouldn’t have those titles without Durant. Now that Durant got “exposed”/swept vs. the Celtics, now Durant is a scrub and nothing without the Warriors. Well someone had to carry that Warriors team. “It was Draymond!” (LOL) Same Durant that Harden/Harden groupies were counting on/expecting to win the title/a title with? That scrub? And that other scrub Curry, back in the WCF. Just like the myth that Jordan only played 6 years and won 6 titles,… Harden did not have a 4-year career and did not only play the Warriors. “Well he lost to the Warriors every year! The GOAT team! What do you want him to do?!” He’s played 13 years. A mostly great 13 years. He’ll be in the Hall of Fame. Great regular season player. 3 years in OKC 8 years in Houston 1 year in Brooklyn 21 games in Philly. Did he not come up small in the Finals vs OKC. (I know, I know…he was just a 6th man young pup in OKC. What do you want him to do.) 1st year in Houston, lost to OKC in 1st round 2nd year, (1st) with Dwight, lost to Portland in 1st round (Not Dame?! Not the Dame CF also loves to hate! Dame?!) 3rd year, lost to GSW in WCF 4th year, lost to GSW in 1st round (Kardashian year IIRC?; Curry only played in 2 games) 5th year, lost to SA in 2nd round (lost by 39 without Kawhi/Tony; **** blocked by Ginobili) 6th year, lost to GSW in WCF (Up 3-2) 7th year, lost to GSW in 2nd round (Durant gets hurt year IIRC?) 8th year, helping hand in trading for his boy Westbrook, lost to LAL in 2nd round 1st year in Brooklyn, lost to Milwaukee; injured & apparently still recovering from this injury? Quits Brooklyn 1st half-year in Philadelphia, apparently injured?/in decline? 4 years of GSW, 4 years of other teams (OKC/POR/SA/LAL) “He’s MVP! MVP! MVP!” “Top 3 player” “Better than Giannis, Steph, KD, Kawhi! Better than anyone but LeBron!” “Better scorer than Jordan!” — Morey (which the Harden groupies agree) All that **** talking about how great he is but all you get are a bunch of excuses. He’s tired. He’s fatigued. He’s concussed. He’s drunk. He went to the club. He has no help. He has the worst luck. On and on… They said “Put Harden on [a superteam] and he’d win a title too!” … LOL Sure Jan! “Next Kobe and Shaq, if not better!” … Hahaha! -Durant(x2) —3 years OKC —1 year BRK -Westbrook(x2) —3 years OKC —1 year HOU -Howard —3 years HOU -Paul —2 years HOU -Irving —1 year BRK -Embiid —1/2 year PHI “He has no help! He has no help!” Which is it groupies? He has no help or Tilman broke up a championship (caliber) roster? So he had help but couldn’t get it done? Or he had no help? (so who the hell cares if Tilman broke up those guys) OKC, 6th man/too young, can’t hold it against him HOU, no help, can’t hold it against him BRK/PHI, in decline?/injured?, can’t hold it against him Just about covers it. Great regular season player. Historic. But not that guy to carry you to a ring in the playoffs. Need that other guy, 1A or Batman. “But but but if not for the Warriors and/or injuries, he’d already have a ring or three!” Blahblahblah … Not going to just hand him a ring vs. LeBron. Not to the guy who continually comes up small. Not just that he hasn’t won a ring, it’s that he/his teams usually go out like ****ing chumps. He has games so bad, people legit ask “Is he throwing the game?” “Does he have money on the game?” Elimination games 2022 Heat 4-9 (0-2 3pt), 4 turnovers. -16 2021 Bucks 5-17 (2-12 3pt), 4 turnovers. -2 2020 Lakers 12-20 (2-8 3pt), 6 turnovers. -29 2020 Thunder 4-15 (1-9 3pt), 4 turnovers. +9 2019 Warriors 11-25 (6-15 3pt), 6 turnovers. -10 2018 Warriors 12-29 (2-13 3pt), 5 turnovers. -13 2017 Spurs 2-11 (2-9 3pt), 6 turnovers. -28 2016 Warriors 12-23 (3-7 3pt), 7 turnovers. -27 2015 Warriors 2-11 (0-3 3pt), 12 turnovers. -4 2015 Clippers 7-20 (2-7 3pt), 7 turnovers. +12 2015 Clippers 5-20 (2-6 3pt), 1 turnover. -21 2015 Clippers 9-20 (1-8 3pt), 5 turnovers. +23 2014 Blazers 9-15 (4-6 3pt), 4 turnovers. +7 2013 Thunder 7-22 (4-10 3pt), 4 turnovers. +3 2012 Heat 5-11 (3-8 3pt), 3 turnovers. -17 2011 Mavs 7-11 (1-5 3pt), 2 turnovers. +3 2011 Grizzlies 6-10 (4-8 3pt), 1 turnover. +24 2010 Lakers 1-3 (0-1 3pt), 0 turnovers. -1 I forget which Warriors series, took one shot in the final 8 minutes (“He’s trying to make the right play!” — Is that what they said @DreamShook @JayGoogle) Took 2 shots in the 2nd half the other night in Philly’s loss … “I’m the PG and the ball just didn’t get back to me.”) The **** is that? “Philly is where I wanted to be first.” “No pressure. There’s no pressure.” I’m not saying/betting he’ll be out of the league in 2 years but the groupies keep clinging to this Chris Paul resurgence… What if he’s Allen Iverson? 32-year old all-star averaging 27/6 in 2007/08 to it being his last season in 2009-10 Or Ty Lawson (who liked to get his party/drink on; Lawson obviously not the player/scorer he is) but 15/9 in 2014/15…traded to Houston, didn’t even make it through the season and was released; 2016/17 was his last season …or McGrady…or Francis Maybe he’ll come back better than ever like Chris Paul but these declines can also happen quickly.
He's an NBA Champion who stayed loyal to the team that developed him. Not a choker in any book. Now if he had complained and whined his way off of 2 franchises only to go 0-2 in the 3rd and 4th qurters of a close-out game...that's another story.
Embid was missing the first two games of this series, Chris Paul played like garbage in 2018, Westbrook actually injured his quad(still bad though), and then Haden got a grade two hamstring injury. Yall hate context here, I swear. Bad takes all around.
Harden is trash bro, give it up..... How do you not laugh when typing this kind of $hit.... Giannis lost in 7 games without his 2nd best player and not even a super star.... Swap Harden with Giannis on The Bucks and they get swept..... I can't possibly believe you click (post reply) with a straight face...
put aside your bias and hatred, if the nets had all 3 guys for the entire bucks series last year and you had to bet your life on it, would you bet on the nets or bucks?
