He apparently is listening to his "good friend" Joe Rogan on what medical concoction he needs to take in order to best recover from COVID lol. You can't make this stuff up.


Aaron Rodgers is a lying ass hole. He also clearly does not give a damn about anyone else bit himself. It's one thing to not get vaccinated. But for him to lie about it and not adhere to safety protocols is really scumbag behavior.

You guys are overreacting. Harden is still playing himself back into shape and yet he's out there racking up triple doubles. This is also with refs swallowing the whistle on him because he is getting hacked every time he hits the paint.

KD was also off tonight and missed several shots that he usually makes. He makes those, this game isn't even close.

I think we get that. But his lack of effort is the problem. If his effort level has to do with him being out of shape then fine. But I don’t think so. His turnovers aren’t bad passes. He is just dribbling the ball into the defenders. His lack of effort to even touch that ball last night was exactly what I’m talking about. It’s not conditioning. I would use that for his shooting and not being able to get to the basket easy. But he stands there dribbling for 20 seconds and loses the ball.

I think Harden is using every game and each possession to gauge where he feels physically which means he is doing this only under controlled situations . The loose ball was evidence of that and was an uncontrolled play. The image of Cousins tearing his quad on that loose ball comes to mind. Simply put he is not ready to perform at 100% yet. Does this mean remove him from games to work on the sideline? He is still going to help us win games. Just not the way we would normally expect or be as impactful a player. Nash is letting him come back at his own pace.

KD had a terrible game by his standards. So did Harden. And we still found a way to win.

I have no doubt in my mind Harden will get back to MVP form. Some guys take longer to return from injuries than other. Its better htis happens now than in June.


Detroit is the worst team in the league.

they were on the second of a back to back

they played absolutely horrendous. missing wide open dunks and layups

we barely sceaped by. this was far and away our worst effort of the year


So what?

Its a bad game. Good teams lose to bad teams all the time.

Milwaukee is .500. The Lakers lost to OKC twice.

Were 1 game back of the best record in the East. And found a way to win.

KD and Harden will not shoot that badly 90% of the time. I'm not worried at all.

And God willing Kyrie comes back.


im not worried at all either... but it was still an awful game/effort

Cade hit some big shots in that 4th quarter stretch and the home crowd was probably more lively than it has ever been this season for Detroit. It was a competitive, gritty, physical game.



i would disagree with this. i thought detroit played awful that second quarter was one of the worst ive seen in a long time. if we played even 1/2 as good as we normally do we would have built a 15-20 point lead.

they missed 3 layups and a dunk in the 2nd alone. bricked everything. turned it over. got nothing on the glass. this was a terrible game by a terrible team. we should have won by the same score as the 1st time. we got tons of opens shots. open looks.

I didn't say they played great the entire game, I said that they were great in the 4th quarter, which they were. They came back from 16 down in the final quarter, making their shots and playing some excellent defense. KD had a tough time in the 4th but did just about enough to pull us through.

they didnt shoot or play well in the 4th. their D was actually pretty awful. They came back because we were worse then awful. it was the worst we played in the KD era, by far.

Your super hyperbolic gimmick really isn't as cute as you think.
