I'm not mistaken, he still runs the ND twitter.

Good lord, really?

Using up all your Old Farte points are you, Uncle Bob...?

So, does anyone waaaayyy back in the day, remember when Bob would post on uh... what was that tiny little NJ forums? Remember that rudimentary forums on NJ.com, or something?

Dude could just LOSE IT from time to time.


nj.com/forums/nets

yup!

and then there was that troll that just called everyone "bob" cause he thought windrem posted under 100 accounts.

that was low-key an amazing forum back in the day



that was fun as hell. If i recall one of the Nets old beat reporters used to post there from time to time.

On offense. What about defense? If he doesn’t play hard on d he might as well not be out there. It could be a major problem tonight.

Harden on offense means more to this team than him playing defense.

Harden's rebounding is a critical factor to this team's success. Him creating shots for Harris, Green, Brown, Griffin, and getting KD spot up looks makes the offense run like a machine. Harden also maximizes Nic Claxton offensively as a lob threat.

Really when you think about it, there is no doubt about it. Harden makes this team great.

When he get's the players rolling offensively the defense follow. Hamstring injuries are aggravated/caused by rapid acceleration then deceleration, not lateral movement. He's more likely to reinjure it going to the hoop especially when decelerating for a lob/teardrop type shot or from 3 point shot creation etc (shake and bake). He should be fine on defense assignments.

I’m pretty sure he was good to go for Game 4 but we didn’t want to throw him out there without conditioning work. Harden said F that. I want to play.

Thanks for the Intel, captain.

Just saw Harden's warm up on IG Live, he looked good to me shooting 3s. I wouldn't expect explosive drives tonight from him, but if he can just give us those step back 3s, mixed in with some floaters, I'd be more than happy with that.

Yeah. Should be more than enough to keep the Bucks defense honest.

What's the point going 5 wide when no one is quick enough to take off with the dribble?

We've had a bad start on the court but the crowd is actually embarrassing tonight.
