I ain't even trying to talk shit about Jordan. Like I said, that's my childhood. But Harden on some next level shit. Soon as he step past half court he has to be guarded. :smh: He takes 3s like cats use to shoot 15 footers and is well over 30 percent.

These cats won't appreciate it until they 'back in the day it' 20 years from now.

Harden needs to win a chip. But its interesting how certain players stats accolades are discounted but others are accepted at face merit. If Harden is a product of this era Steph Curry certainly is as well, even more so.

Also the Bucks losing to a Luka less Mavs aint a good look. They were prolly looking ahead to Thursday nights game which Im sure they plan to really get up for.

Harden ain't a better scorer than Jordan so how is he "Next Level". Harden has mastered the art of shooting 3's, convincing refs he's not traveling when he does his double step back and leaning his body forward damn near parallel to the ground to draw bullshit foul calls.

There is a Harden I respect and there is a Harden that I despise. The Harden that will bust yo ass without the antics is dope but that other guy, fuck nah. But Harden can't score in every way possible so he's not the best scorer. Sorry.

This aint the NFL where you release a player and dont have to pay him. I believe the heat will still have to pay him.

They will still be able to pay the light bill at American Airlines arena. They won't go broke behind getting rid of his fuckin ass. No way he makes it to the end of the year. :smh:

Yeah, his playoff choking is what kills Harden. He got to get that shit off his back just like Peyton Manning.

You just can't brush off 'mastered the art of shooting 3s' because that shit is a game changer. It means a defender has to exert more energy chasing a player after the player crosses half-court. See Steph. We just seen Harden bust 50+ with only six free throws.

IMHO, it's the 3 shooting that makes these cats next level. Coming up, we never had to guard cats this far away from the basket and either did the pros. That shit must be fucking exhausting. We only 27 games into the season and Harden already launched damn near 100 more threes than Jordan ever shot in a season. Harden hitting 36 percent of those bitches. That next-level shit right there. Appreciate that shit.

But if you pay attention to his game you'll see that you hardly ever get both of those Hardens at the same time. On most nights that he has an absurd amount of free throws his FG% is trash. When his shot is wet he's not going to the line as much and he's just making you pay for however you decide to guard him. Like that 60 point game he only shot like 11 free throws but was over 50% from the field and I think above (or close to) 40% from three.

In actuality he's doing what we tell people to do... attack the basket and get to the line when your shot is cold, but keep taking shots when you have the hot hand.

That's what is really perplexing to me... he is what we tell people to do yet he gets criticized for how he does it. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Harden could go down in history as one of, if not the greatest scorer in the game WITHOUT winning a championship. If he didn't have so many lapses early on defensively you could take the SCORER part off and could make the arguement of greatest ever without a ring.

@gene cisco @spider705 I'm glad the most recent 60 point game was brought up because

Harden's 60 point game was the PERFECT example of why Harden DOES NOT need to draw fouls(lean his body) or any of that other stuff that people hate him for. I rewatched that entire game and I fucks with that Harden and I'm sure most people can fuck with that game. That was a legit "bust yo ass" 60. Respect.

Yea Lebron and Howard missed free throws right under the 3 mins mark....

the crazy the was LA was in the bonus with 8mins left....
I thought that would meant plenty of drives but that ain’t really what they about outside of AD
Click to expand...
They tried, but got called for an offensive foul, after that most were jump shots, aside from one drive that did get them the call.

Kevin Love to the Nuggets has been a possibility for a while though. There has been some rumors. I hope they don't secretly have a plan to still acquire that dude. Especially with Milsap being well....Milsap. Love is younger but his defense isn't as good.

Bro I think it’s a few things,

Lebron playing point vs point forward - he’s actually being a point guard vs having that ball on the box and running the offense thru him(that’s what they do with AD)

Roster - I think the roster mesh very good, the parts fit perfectly....the shooting ain’t where’s folks would love to see it but it’s not horrible and costing them games

coaching - they been doing a great job with matchups and subs
the scheme been get the bigs going, the shooters slashers, then Lebron does what he can.....


at the moment they or 4 & 5 on the mvp race

Co sign most of that

Shout out vogel

Luka gonna be out for over a month...

Sidebar... f*ckong unicorn looked amazing

Harden is a monster... but i just can't

I love how the freak actually IMPROVED his game in the off season

The Pelicans should be contracted cause i think the average nba fan like myself had no idea just how good AD was/is

But lebron in the lead just off his age switching positions the circus of last year the hate and his age?

Lebron in the lead for me.

Either way,the Cavs need to get rid of this piece of shit. He had the audacity to say,he's surprised he hasn't been traded after Lebron left...


This dude signed a four year extension but talking about he's surprised he hasn't been traded yet.

All he had to do was not sign that contract and become a free agent this year if he's so hell bent leaving the Cavs.

Jesus man. I turned away from the game earlier to go handle some business. We were winning by like 12 points and Miami looked worn out. How the fuck are we about to lose. :angry: :angry: :angry:
