Harden playing like ass. Dude's a bum for real if Philly flames out this year.

Harden playing like ass. Dude's a bum for real if Philly flames out this year.

Harden has been a bum surviving off FTs for statwls for over 2 years now. The question needs to honestly be asked if he's washed.

In all seriousness, Kevin Love is a better player and makes more of an impact on the court than Harden does in 2022

I couldn't have less respect for Harden's game. The dude's defense is laughable and he can't do anything unless he's getting to the line or making his defender scared to foul him.

[PD28]

Jimmy Butler out tonight, something serious or just a back 2 back thing?

[yoyoboy]

This team is so frustrating to play against. You can't touch them.

[Yuri36]

So it looks like Dallas will get either Denver or Utah in the first round... really like both of those matchups for Dallas. Luka is going to go nuts against those defenses.

Utah's got Gobert though and he might be more difficult to attack for Luka than even the likes of PG or Kawhi simply because of his ability to disturb Luka's pick and roll with Powell.

Well I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt because of the hamstring injury, they're tricky to deal with.

I think he thought he could rehab, play himself into shape with the Nets this year, but saw that Kyrie is bat**** insane, no onus of responsibility or accountability from Nash to KD, and he'd have to be Houston Harden 2.0 and was just overwhelmed.

I see no urgency from him at all as well though. He might legit be washed. If I'm Philly I pay very close attention on how he approaches this summer and if he's serious about the game.

I'd bet Gobert will get pulled out of the game playing against Luka.

So, luka been the best player on the floor vs all the players in the mvp discussion every game this season. Definetly deserve mvp

Shuuut, everybody will tell you he had a J-League level start of season....
Though it might be great news for him if it can make him realize that he absolutely needs to treat the off season and his body much more seriously than what he has done so far.

Philly's game plan is to just recklessly run into you and get to the free throw line.

Tell me you just saw embiid run at the basket and fall over looool

[Clay Davis]

Dang, shots fired on NBATV. Jared Greenberg said, "(Kyle Lowry) feels like he appreciates the Raptors fanbase more than they appreciate him."

Buddies gonna learn today. He'll feel so much love he'll think it's a home game

doncic has the potential to be the best offensive player to ever play basketball, if he gets lucky in his career with good teams and keeps doing what hes doing

Fixed that for you.
He will never be even close to be as good defensively as let's say MJ.

Don’t you just love it? Lol

In theory, yes. But who knows. Ronaldinho wasn't the same once he stopped enjoying soccer.
Maybe it's enough as a start if Doncic just stops being fat. And goes on a run with weights every now and then.

Embiid and Harden are both pretty much guaranteed 10+ FTA per game with about half of them being superstar calls that only 5-10 players in the league might get. Both Embiid and Harden having a FTr of .600 or more is wild, especially considering more than half of Harden's FGA are jump shots.

Dude, calm down... He said multiple times that he doesn't care about regular season trophies aka MVP etc... People still haven't figured out that he's all about playoffs and when he plays average they think he regressed or something. He's just getting ready for playoffs. There is a reason why he always starts playing his best when playoffs are getting closer.

Bickerstaff telling Embiid to stop flopping. Embiid proceeded to flail his arms.

[Infinite Llamas]

Horrific perimeter defense.

Guards will drive in the paint no matter what you do and who is defending whom especially if you don't switch on defense. Its Denver's pathetic rim protection that hurts them the most.

And yet, I think Jrue would be a bit of an upgrade over Monte, no?
