Nah, he's a superstar, let's not go overboard.

He's capable of dominating without the whistle, which is why it's pathetic when he flops so much. The dude could literally put up 30ppg on 5-6 FT a game, instead he fishes for fouls. Did you see him in the first quarter (knowing they're in the bonus) try to get the swipe through foul even without shooting? Dude is just baiting for fouls. He doesn't need to do that, he's got a plethora of moves he can use and the defenders can't stop him.

He's ALWAYS been this way. Not sure how people just straight up dislike him. Just a special player. Don't even really seem in commercials or anything.

Pure hooper.

Simmons is soft but Harden is soft+a huge diva. At least Simmons has basically accepted he'll be 3rd option in Brooklyn, and it suits him tbh.


Simmons will probably be fine as a third option. Harden isn't good enough to be a 1/1a option anymore but he thinks he is..

Reports are that Harden is going to miss the 2nd half due to diarrhea.

This is deja vu after watching Boston destroy Philadelphia a few weeks ago.

Kyrie- Biggest shot in finals history in one of the most hostile environments.

KD- Back to Back Game winners in Cleveland in 2017 and 2018

Dudes have seen what pressure looks like.

So often it feels like the Nets are sloppy with the ball but somehow it works for them.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

they enjoy getting booed they were born to play. harden and joel were never naturally talented they are all late bloomers pretty much for regular season only.

Suns-Nets finals.

They can just have a Kendell cam set up for the series.
