“We got Rondo, you don’t!” “They didn’t want to be in the bubble!” — Skip Still has the Nets and whoever is playing LeBron so…
Remember the good old days when Tyrone Lue was supposed to take the Rockets to the promised land? Dude is getting walked all over in LA once again.
@durvasa What's going on with your 2 fav players, Curry and Kawhi? Neither elevated their teammates. One couldn't even make the playoffs, the other tried to avoid the Lakers matchup by tanking, only to get spanked by Mavs so far in the first round. Their stock going down!
luka, trae, harden, lebron, and now cade cunningham are the new prototypes of player for the modern nba. using isoballk while being an elite pick and roll ball handler is the most sought after skill for nba scouts for the modern nba game. Its why fults went number 1 a few years ago, cade is going number 1 this year, and believe it or not jaden hardy has a chance to go ahead of chet holmgren in 2022( jaden hardy is drawing oscar robertson/james harden comparisons)
yeah. i wish there was an illegal offense rule. you can only force 10 switches a game and that's it. i realize we hunted weak defenders relentlessly with harden and cp3, but occasionally it would be good to go back to the old days when the best offensive player just went at the best defensive player and you saw who won. nowadays people are too good at the pick and roll which somehow makes switching to a weak defender better than straight up defense, but you'd like to see the mano a mano sometimes.
I haven't been paying attention to basketball. Twitter telling me the Clippers lost 2 games on purpose to match up with the Mavs? wow. the clownery.
If Harden was the one who dropped 41 on 66 % shooting, the last thing you would be saying is that he didn’t elevate his teammates. Lol
People forget it was meaningless games or Rockets were favorites when Harden looked good. What was the last time Harden with bum squad elevated his teammates to win against LeBron lmfao why is Curry held to higher standard? Guy is multiple NBA champion, best player on best team of all time and people still find ways to prove James Harden is better
If the clippers lose could they be desperate enough to trade Beverley+Kennard+rondo for Wall? Gonna be an interesting landing spot to watch.
Let’s be honest, Harden has had plenty of monster playoff games, many of which we lost. When we lost though, Harden nuthuggers weren’t saying he failed to elevate his teammates, they said the teammates stunk and Harden did all he could. It’s the Harden nuthugger double standard. When Kawhi or Curry has a monster game and loses, they are “frauds”, when the same happened to Harden, it was everyone else’s fault.
What double standard? The Kawhi and Curry stans were the ones claiming their boys were better than Harden (and in Kawhi's case, a "million times" better). Their stans put them on their respective pedestals, y'all can't cry foul now when they're mocked for failing to lived up to it and even **** the bed worse than even Harden.
