Not you in particular but Harden has been getting a lot of hate especially all over cyberspace not even just NL. The way he is carrying Houston this season, nobody is carrying their team like that.

And as per free throws. He only had 9 attempts last night. People might not like his methods but he is clearly doing work

I don't get the hate though. He hasn't done anything wrong. Whoever hates him for flopping is just retarded. My own issue is the the refs calling anything grin. I'll flop 20 times if the refs gave me a freethrow everytime tóo. cheesy Like let that nigga play against legit defenders. Blowing the whistle every fúcking time just snuffs the life out of the game. It's not like anyone in the league can stop him from scoring 30 on a Harden day.

There is not one team this season that will beat GSW 4 times.

I think people need to complain if they see certain things wrong but we should not be histrionic while at it.

Close losses or losing in OT 4 times this season are not a fair reflection of how the post season will be. Nobody here truly believes Nuggets will even make it to the WCF for example.

And Raptors that were much heralded, how are they doing now? Celts which everyone said will come out the east how is their own stop-start season going?

Fact is, Austin Rivers and Green hit at least 6 3balls yesterday and Harden made like 8. Those are unreal numbers. If you think they will get that chance in the playoffs..LMAO. You are welcome.

Like I have said, GSWs 3pt D has been arse all season. Many average teams have shot the 3ball so well against GSW for that reason. If a little seriousness is shown in that regard, you effectively take away a lot of gimme points these teams get and that is the way the playoffs will go.

Bucks for example, when GSW clamped down the 3pt line we made the most offensive team this year to make under 100pts. Sadly, we have been selective about when to play that type of D which is why the regular season has been this way.

BTW, GSW are 2nd seeded in the west for all our complacency and unseriousness.
I get that they are bored. Warriors of the last 2 years and regular season games are like Iverson and practice. Its just funny how everyone in the league is busy fighting on being the first seed while the team and Steve Kerr just decides when to stink and when not to. grin
I'd be worried if this was game 5 in the playoffs.

One question though: is Steve Kerr bored too when he makes those stupid rotations?? That dude annoys me.

Someone said we complained that KD and Curry should have staggered mins since it felt like one deferred to the other when each was hot. And we complained when Klay was heading the 2nd and 4th Unit and Steve tried to fix that by staggering Curry's rotations with the bench.

Another person said Kerr wants a line up that will get the bench players touching the ball so they will not be out of rhythm when the chips are down.

I don't want to be too critical of Kerr until we get to the playoffs. So I agree with you. If this was a game 5 then I would be pissed. We also need to remember that Boogie has not yet played.

But trust the naysayers to go back to calling us 5 All Stars come playoff time.

Whenever there is a game, go to Google and type 'NBA Reddit stream'.

You will see all the games there and many links to help with whatever device you are using.

How GSW lost a game they led from the very first minute into the fourth quarter is still a mystery. They shouldn't just disappoint me come play offs .

Heard Jimmy Butler is already fighting them in Philly. Lmaooo this would serve them right for trying to win via shortcuts.

Players like him, players like Antonio Brown you will never win anything with them. It's a time tested formula

If Philly allows him to become a free agent he made just end up in LA with LeBron.Assuming the Trade for AD wont work since no GM will trade AD for Ingram,lonzo,and some picks.

Lol that Butler is a locker room cancer. Any team he joins he will surely scatter it.

Philly should thank their stars and cut their losses this summer. They have made 1 error already by sacrificing their younger shooter and defender for Butler, the second more egregious mistake they can make now is giving Butler a max extension. There are lots of good younger and cheaper guys they can add in the summer. Perhaps they could even try to get Klay. Who the fuq knows?

This Kings team sort of remind me of the Nuggets last season. Equal parts entertaining equal parts frustrating. Proper yo-yo side
Re: The NBA Begins by Decale: 7:16am On Jan 06, 2019
Buddy Hield, Lavine and Siakam for MIP. I see Hield taking it just because...


Credits to the Raptors. Anytime they get a win without 2 starters and their best bench player, even more especially against a fully healthy number 1 ranked team in NBA (and net rating); you just have to admire.


Curry don finally pass Korver. Where's that boy that was disturbing us last season? grin grin grin

Curry is the greatest shooter of all time, and it is not even close.

The pelicans might not have any choice, from the news circulating now Danny Ainge is adamant that D Celtics will only trade for AD if he guarantees them that he will resign this is because Some nba insiders are saying AD only wants to sign long term for the lakers so if both of these are true then the lakers package might become the best available cause i don't see any other teams with better assets.
As for Butler this is another clear case of players fitting on paper but not on the court. Although I really do think that their problem is spacing if they can get a good stretch 4 then, the only problem will remain one of coaching
