Rockets bench has the stats to back it up.

OKC couldn't stop Lou, Gordon and Nene. Spurs did. That's all
Lmao. No mind Telemundo analyst. Where were the likes of Dejounte Murray and Jonathan Simmons in the Grizzlies series? And from Games 1 to 5?

I bet the Spurs don't tally -58 in a series when Kawhi sits.

In an elimination game the best player does not wait till the 2nd quarter to take his first shot, When the supposed bench you know would still be on the bench.

It is such Telemundo analysis that would make someone claim they saw Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy analyze on TNT. But overskill will always kill ninja

Context will always be lost on Bebeto. I showed a clear instance of where star power crushed both coaching and system to show that 'System' cannot be the only argument to be used to posit a reason as to why a team can win and lose a series.

Erin ke ke l'agbole Baba Suwe. Chale went on to bring up James beating the Cavs on his own, ignoring the fact that James had a running mate Kyrie Irving who outplayed the other team's best player from Games 5 to 7 even dropping the title winning shot. The year Lebron actually went on his OWN he lost

Omo to si apa e ni iya e ma gbe. So when someone is talking about bench carrying a player who shot for 10 PTS made just 2 Field Goals with 6 Turnovers, you know they don't know what the are talking about.

Nobody failed to give Harden credit when they beat OKC. Harden has been getting props steady! What was said was that the Bench performed! OKC's bench did not perform!

In this series the Rockets bench didn't perform but Harden was arguably WORSE. Fans criticizing aren't blind! If Harden played well and the Rockets lost he would still get due plaudits. Forget your Telemundo yarns

Na kuku for Telemundo you dey watch JVG and Mark Jackson dey analyze

Chale Sit down and Be Humble

Harden choked yesterday and he accepted it. But saying it like Westbrook would have done better when he didn't even get chance or has been proven to be a Turnover machine in every 4th quarter including last year 3-1 loss to GSW is Wrong. Forget the teammates/bench BS. Harden choked and Westbrook as always proven himself would have as well choked probably. He did even with KD and the so called scrubs.

Unto next round abeg. I still have Wizards cry they'll match up the Cavs better than that noise making Celtics grin

LOL. Men are seeing visions. Despite copious mentions of system, coaching and role of star player they saw "only" system because lost causes are the way to go.

You mean KD 28ppg, did not have RW averaging 25ppg against Spurs? Ibaka and Adams averaging 11ppg respectively? RW also outplayed Spurs best player (Kawhi 23ppg) in the series. Wetin come be JUST KD? grin

Harden was arguably worse than his bench with 24.5ppg and 10apg? Who in both teams outscored and outassisted him? grin

Harden is being whipped for his bad games and I am doing same. Y'all should show us where you called RW out. LOL.

I can imagine RW saying to Harden "boy, you should not have shot 3/17 in that loss. If you shot the ball 26 more times, they would have blamed your teammates" grin grin

PS: Na TNT link on NBA reddit streams I take watch the match no vex. Na JVG and Mark been do the coverage/commentary. If you check box score you no go see am. Na people wey actually watch am go see am.

You should accept Harden choked tho or say it. Save us the stress cheesy cos he did.
For OKC I said it earlier, those guys were great last playoffs and when it came down to last 5mins, Westbrook did his usual in game 6 and 7. All ISO and TOs. So Harden choking for the first time in the series shouldn't exonerate Westbrook especially not this season.
I still blame OKC coach, coaching staffs and athletic trainers for acting like they don't know other guys were in regress compared to last year. Cos we heard about Adams and Draymond feud last season, Kanter and Roberson made so good runs but this season, those guys were just invisible due to the Heroic system of Westbrook that chokes 4th quarter (4th quarter before someone kills me with his Triple Double).
Harden choked game 5 OT and entire game 6.. But Westbrook, is a regular offender. Cut the beard dome slack.
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:26am On May 13, 2017
Eruditor:
And they won without Kawhi.

Harden helped his team but let them down when it mattered but I guess he was tired.

This was my post after game 5. After game 6 I said same. I don't care for anyone not on GSWs roster but all the superficial analysis and double standard had to stop.

He was horrible. Same way Russell was. I said it for Harden but they'd rather blame OKC bench because somehow accepting that RW should take most of the blame would render the many pages of long balderdash arguments irrelevant.

My own now is for God to let whoever will take at least 2 games from Cavs in the ECFs to win the series between Celts and Wiz. Celts are playing solid D today but they should not flatter someone and get swept in the ECF. Cavs cannot have plenty rest coming into the NBA finals as I predict our series with Spurs could go all the way.

I definitely agree, but playing ahome with their backs against the Wall I expected a blow out win I won't lie.

Why did MDA bench triple Dekker even when his presence in the first half helped y'all reduce the deficit to 18 and he made 2 huge 3s out of 4 tries?

dantoni's stubbornness is legendary. the guy looks quiet, standing like a gentleman on the sidelines. But that dude is a volcano of stubbornness and wrath lol

Cavs can sweep either if they want to so it doesn't matter to them who they face between this two teams. For some reason some warriors fans here still in denial of this. smh

By the time either team arrives the conference finals, they would be physically exhausted to even give the Cavs a competition.

7 games between GSW and these spurs?

The best the Spurs can do to a focused GSW team, is taking 2 games. Personally I would go for a victory of the warriors 4 -1.

If you would call 4-1 WWarriors, you can go ahead to call 4-0 Warriors in the ring decider. And that is because of respect for LeWhine. Otherwise, after game3 , Cavs wwouldn't bother to show up for game4 grin

cheesy cheesy don't take my GTFO too seriously abeg. Yes we swept I know. Just this once tho. But like 3 years now, it's always a sweep. My comments was on oppositions not putting up a fight at least. How can you sweep the same team two years in a row and face them in the finals again this year? I don't care about the Cavs, we just don't want the usually predicted rape we usually see from the Cavs vs East.

People are questioning Harden's legacy. You think they are unaware of his 24.5 ppg and 10asts? Neutrals and even Rockets fans are pointing out that Harden quit on his team but Jimi Solanke is here telling us stories that touch.

When we say Harden was carried in the OKC series it was not for show. They were game (s) he was outscored by a member his bench

In an elimination game James Harden was -28 on the floor but Telemundo analyst is talking about Sweet Lou and asking Jamb Question

I am saying do not lump Westbrook's performance to the national disgrace we witnessed two nights ago

Lmaoo. Mr I saw JVG and Mark Jackson on TNT please take several seats. To watch and analyze basketball is not by force. Reddit ko Hobbit ni
