Figured I'd start a new thread with the old one being over 100 pages.

The storylines for Harden going back to Houston are hilarious.

This has to be one of the dumber theories out there. He at least has a scent of the championship in Philly. He’ll end his career in the lottery if he goes back to Houston.

I kind of like this quote from John Wall.

I think the Kevin Porter experiment was the big mistake for Houston. They didn’t have the leadership or infrastructure to navigate the situation. Instead, they’ve created a competition between two similar young players trying to make a name for themselves.

Houston has so much drama and attention with their big names, someone is going to swoop in and fleece them for Sengun and/or Eason.

Also, how would Gordon lure Harden back when Gordon himself wants out...

Jaylen brown & Jayson tatum struggling shooting against the warriors. A combined 9 /35 with 4 mins left to go in the 4th. Dont know the outcome of this game but know that this duo gets whatever they want against us.

Sixers need to take notes. Draymond & warriors making Jaylen go left. Draymond & Wiggins making it tough on Tatum as usual.

I will always believe in my heart that Jaylen Brown is better than Jayson Tatum.

Overtime

Big plays by both teams

Top predators in basketball

Offense: someone you can just give the ball and let him run your offense and get his teammates open looks

Defense: someone who is a good man to man defender and also carry his teammates load on defense

The rest are dime in a dozen players.

Just pure talk radio talking points. Brown is cool & a winner and Tatum is a loser.

Celtics with the win. Tatum finished with a monster stat line despite early shooting struggles with 34 /19 /6

Nets should trade Ben. Let him get his mojo back on a rebuilding team. KD doesn't have time to waste
