Harden always disappears during big games.

KD and Kyrie are giving Harden a pants-down spanking.

Brooklyn is locked in the 7/8 matchup. Who wants nets in the 1/2 seed. It will be interesting

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.

No he can't. That's why he fishes for fouls.

Maybe it's stamina, but he can't play actual basketball for any length of time. He's also perhaps the worst clutch shooter in the playoffs after Harden.

So he's great in the regular season with a soft foul or beating up on nobodies but he doesn't make players around him better at all like Jokic so it's all down to him scoring... and whether it's stamina or not... he doesn't try to score most of the game because that relies on talent he just relies on flopping and foul fishing to get FTs.

He simply can't bring it for even 20 full minutes per game. He takes plays off on defense too. He has the POTENTIAL to do everything on the court but he doesn't bring it and either he's not as skilled when he faces real player OR he doesn't have the energy to do it more than at spurts. In the playoffs his flopping and foul fishing won't be as effective just like it wasn't tonight. He still got calls he shouldn't get tonight 3-9 from the floor and 15-19 FT... that is what he is. He's nothing but an endless foul baiter.

On the flipside, Brooklyn is a massive problem.

They have several floor spacers.

They have the two best 1-on-1 players in the league, so they can control the pace much easier.

When Simmons comes back, they can run a 5-out offense.

They will have tons of issues defending the perimeter & interior, but it might not even matter.

Watching Embiid hold is face after being slapped was actually disgusting to watch. PATHETIC.

In his defense I think it was more about him hitting his limit with Kai and the organisation's support of him. Harden played on one leg in the Bucks series. I don't begrudge him leaving.

Kyrie is guarding Harden one on one and shutting him down.

Everyone saying hes a "bad defender" is proving how stupid they are. Hes improved a ton on that end.

This Warriors game will be interesting. I don’t think Steph will let them lose tonight. Jokic has been the best player this year, and he has an extremely favorable matchup, but #StephBetter

Embiid with more free throws than the entire Nets team. You have to wonder if all the free throws from Embiid and Harden will mess up the other Sixers' rhythm as well lol.

Also Brooklyn chants several times.

This idea that the Nets have no fans just cause Curry got MVP chants one time is looking more and more stupid.

Floody100 · Post #397 » by **Floody100** » Fri Mar 11, 2022 2:05 am

What’s the go with Philly getting trounced at home by their rivals lol? Boston not long ago & now the Nets are making them look silly.

Thybulle is young and was very effective with Simmons and I think they need him for playoffs. I am tempted to agree but it's too early. Thybulle would have been the perfect fit on the Nets as well, not that Curry isn't looking like a great fit.

Wolfgang630 · Post #399 » by **Wolfgang630** » Fri Mar 11, 2022 2:06 am

This is why people talk up the Nets so much. KD one of the best players in the world. Kyrie one of the best performers on the big stage we’ve ever seen.

That Simmons guy is a pretty good perimeter defender. They'll have trouble with big body centers, like Biid. Though he's doing most of his damage at the line.

Who wins the big games?
