    I think max christie could help the lakers with shooting and energy. Get him off the bench.

    I guy isn't a supporting cast. The 2nd guy isn't a supporting cast lolwut, unless it's like Dwight and a bunch of 3 pt shooters or something.

    Boban isn't a ring chaser. He's a chicken chaser.

    Denver has been extremely disappointing so far. If they don’t get it together they’ll have a hard time getting past 5 against Boston. Murray looks so bad, what the hell happened. Last year he was super inconsistent but still had some good games, this year every game he just sucks

    The only great team this season is Boston. Denver is among several really good teams with OKC and Minnesota. They could beat anyone because they have by far the best player, they execute in the clutch, and the fact that they've won already. But this series should be closer and they could lose to the Wolves or Thunder.

    This is a reason why. They also have a really poor bench. Jackson, Braun, and Watson have not made much of an impact against the Lakers. I'm not sure if they've been all that good during the regular season either. Braun has to be the only white guard in the league who can't shoot. Not sure what he does well.

    Denver boston would be kinda crazy. Jokic obviously is by far the best player but you could reasonably argue boston has the next five best guys. If this version of denver shows up though they lose in 4-5 to Boston

    Denver is playing with their food. They flip the switch at will.

    Harden didnt win not because of his playstyle but decision making in clutch. He was supposed to do as yesterday, going for the middy for confident baskets. He was pushing step back threes with 27 straight team misses kicking out legs begging for calls.... Luka in that scenario just post a mf up and banks easy 2. Also loosing handle in clutch was one of the Harden signatures. In terms of style they are pretty similiar but Harden was like 3point nazi at one point and it didnt work in playoffs since three is very streaky

    Takes from Americans about him not being able to win are as ridiculous as takes that he isn’t top 1 pre draft

    If only Mike Dantoni would let James Harden shoot more midrange and include Post Up James Harden over Klay Thompson. Klay Thompson I think would've slowed down offensively. Klay using his energy on defense would've tired Klay Out. It really is a shame Mike and the Coaching staff never tried it.

    Harden actually didn't play bad in that game 7. I think he outplayed Steph and KD. Problem was he was out there by himself again; he also had to play 8 on 1 due to the officials being absolutely crap that day. He made a four point play that wasn't counted that could swung the whole game.


    The real reason he didn't win is cuz he has bad luck. He never made it through a single post season where his second best teammates didn't get injured.
    From Dwight, Chris Paul, Dmo, Kyrie, Embiid, Now Kawhi, dude is just cursed.
