    "Who has less help?

    Kawhi on the Spurs
    Westbrook on the Thunder
    Jordan on the Tune Squad

    I'm your host, Max Kellerman. Get ready to embrace debate!"

    Why is the media thinking we have a lot of good players -- maybe more than the Spurs -- on our team somehow a bad thing? Isn't that a compliment to our organization?

    Did the Rockets sign Terrance Jones for the playoffs to guard LMA!?

    Curry will be playing with d-leaguers by then. Rockets curse is too strong for KD, Green, Thomson and Iguodala.

    I think you flipped Curry and Durant, but otherwise you are correct.

    Wait, I thought @DreamShook was kidding about media saying Kawhi has less help. Are they really saying that. I stopped listening to the video after Stephen A's first salvo.

    I'm thankful he signed with the Spurs and not a Blazers anymore.

    Where? Who? Link?

    Or is it just Skip saying it?

    I know ppl like basketballholic are starting to change their tune and say how many weapons the Rockets have like Capela and secondary playmakers like Lou and Ego, but didn't know they also are saying Harden is overrated because of it and Kawiwi is proof because he got blown out by 40pts to Harden before sitting.

    Duncan would have played better than 4 pts 7 rebs -36 in 25 minutes!

    Well the various sports shows on ESPN are saying that the Spurs are old, LMA is garbage, Parker has lost a step, Danny Green isn't the same player. It isn't like last series: "Westbrook has no help because his teammates are trash," it's "Kawhi has no help, his teammates need to step up."

    I wouldn't say they are saying Harden is overrated, but I do think the media is downplaying how great this game was. Harden with a 20pt 14ast game and it's because Harden has shooters that shoot in a system not because he was carving up the Spurs defense finding said shooters AND Capela/Nene on PnR's.

    October through April - "Spurs are elite! Never doubt the Spurs! Popavich! Kawhi! Only team that can hang with Golden State!"

    Yesterday - "Kawhi and nobody else. All old. They're done"
