    To be fair, theres a whole second half to play and these players are the best in the world.

    Hoping for implosion sooner than later.

    I think injuries will prevent them from winning anything and then they will implode.

    Weird now iron man Harden is getting constantly injured

    harden hasn’t made a single drive to the basket all game. Harden is a dribble drive player. He is not close to 100%. Injuries just hit the nets at a terrible time

    I love Barkley. "But they got to be the dumbest team."

    He is correct though. The Bucks do not understand situational basketball at all. It all looks back to Bud.

    Harden’s decision! Don’t blame me! (Mike or Steve)



    Chuck on Jim: I don’t even know what he’s doing. He’s just standing out there dribbling, passing the ball every time, and shot a couple step back threes. He’s not even trying to see if he can play. You gotta at least be aggressive. He’s not even close to being aggressive.

    Chuck on the Bucks: “They got be the dumbest team. Between stupid fouls and bad shots and not taking advantage of mismatches… …They should be up 24 points.”

    They probably don't want to take Harden out for extended period because they don't want his body to cool down. Once that happens the risk for re-injury increases.

    But I agree with Barkley, Harden should sit as he isn't healthy nor is he helping the team. If he was hitting his long range shots then yes leave him in the game. But he's not. And his play is actively hurting them.

    Also agree that the Bucks just arent the brightest bulb.

    We have seen a bad half from Harden before, I bet he brings it in the 2nd half. Harden always conserves energy when he knows he is about to go the whole way which is a terrible trait he has even when he is healthy. i will give him a slight pass for conserving his energy since he is injured.

    I miss Harden as a Rocket, but I don't miss being annoyed by wondering what is wrong with Harden

    How is this different from game 7 against OKC last year before the miracle block? How’s it different from the way he played against the Spurs when he got blown out by 40 at home or when he rode the bench the entire 4th against the Clippers and rode the bench against the Jazz majority of the 4th when CP3 dropped 41 and eliminated them.

    Only difference is his fanbois have a built in excuse this time. Not that they didn’t have one for each of those past times. Missing shots, standing around on defense and reaching, making careless turnovers. These things are not uncommon by Harden in a 2-2 series or a series where he’s down 3-2, 3-1.

    That makes some sense, but can't they use a bike on the side they can use to keep them warm or something?

    The issue though is that he now cooled down during half time. If he they knew he would only play the 1st half, they misused him out there.

    Fool still thinks trading for Westbrick was solely Tillman’s decision and only his.

    We will definitely get value out of the latter half of those picks. Them breaking up will probably determine if the first few are gold or not though.

    Harden fanbois have to blame someone for what Harden did.
