Iggy compares playing Houston to a practice scrimmage

He was an NBA Finals MVP....

 

He's a role player. He's not leading a team very far. We saw that in Philly. He's a nice 4th option.

 

Espn, nba tv, social media, and etc

 

That's clearly out of context. He's saying he got more shots than normal up. Typically, he's the best player in the second unit, thus he gets a lot of shots in practice.

 

He's a role-player to people who think defense doesn't matter and PPG is all that defines a player. Those people think Kobe Bryant is in the argument for greatest player ever and Allen Iverson isn't far behind.

 

Iggy made a HUGE mistake with that dis.

Now we are going to have a PLAYERS ONLY meeting, break out the old school mustard and red throwbacks, and boy LOOK OUT Golden State - WE HAVE TURNED THE CORNER!!!!

PBev will block every free throw into the cheap seats. I kinda feel sorry for the Warriors now.

 

I don't like Kobe but he was a excellent defensive player in his day.

 

Iggy with the cold hard truth. If that doesn't sober up some of the drunk homers, nothing will. Keep sippin' that Daryl Maury kool-aid and jacking up 3s!

 

That wasn't a specific diss on Kobe's defense (the defense was about Iguodala...Kobe an example of people only paying attention to PPG), but I disagree that Kobe was ever an "excellent" defensive player. Like a lot of great offensive players, his defense was greatly overrated. He built his early defensive rep on playing his man tight, not worrying about being beaten off the dribble because he had Shaq behind him (Shaq was not a historically great defender, but he was definitely a road block to slashers).

Agreed, Kobe's defense is hugely overrated. He wasn't much better than Harden, to be quite honest. It was just less obvious because Harden doesn't even pretend like he's trying.

 

This is why I didn't want the playoffs.

 

that's how they felt about the 'they're not even that good' harden comment.

 

I take offense to that ****, at least we try....

 

drill into these mother ****ers. no more bullsht next season

 

Yeah it's a shame harden defensively is just below Kobe's level. He should be considered on all defensive teams at least. What a travesty.

 

Let's be reasonable here guys. Its just 1 year, this is unjustified.

- some delusional dumbass fan

 

The Rockets deserve all the bashing that has been coming there way.

 

unjustified my ass. got some ridiculous supportive delusional fans.

 

I have said it time and time again when your supposed superstar harden doesn't have any heart you will never be a championship team easy as that! They need to get rid of harden while he can get something in return and let Dwight walk and start over
