My bad. Spoke too soon. We have another contender for best comment of the the thread. It's all in that jacket.

Feels weird to say but Brooklyn is a far more dynamic team..... WITHOUT Harden

with Harden hes one of the worst offball players in history. If he doesnt have the ball he literally does nothing to help your offense. Mediocre catch and shoot shooter, doesnt move at all. His offball defense is some of the worst ever too

Alltime pick and roll guard but its always been easier to defend his teams when it matters b/c theres no dynamism there

The problem with wherever Harden goes is a lot of the offense is still a lot of guys just standing and not moving and watching him other than the occasional screener rolling towards the hoop

Harden with that glazed and dazed look in his eyes thay we're all familiar with whenever it's the playoffs. Breaking it out early this year.

Harden is going to demand a trade back to Brooklyn.

KD is so good at basketball. Definition of unguardable.

Not sure what KD's numbers are like, but if you're watching this game, why would people care about whether or not he got a triple double?

Just weird how that's supposed to be an indicator of how he played an all-around game.

Westbrook is really angry you said Harden is one of the worst offball guys. He really really wants that title

That's why I called him out for throwing Ben under the bus. Everyone looked at Ben, fair enough, but Embiid also shrunk in big moments in the playoffs last season. Both guys should have been called out, Ben more than Joel, but both dudes failed.

Which never made sense, dude is career 44% from 3 in the playoffs including 50% last year.

He low-key looks kinda menacing just sitting there watching with that little grin. I like that he attended the game.

Harden is probably taking the Orlando game off in a couple days so he can blame this on the hammy.

The beauty of adding a guy like Simmons is that you don’t need to change the system. You just plug him into the Brown role and you’re good to go

Nets are the perfect team for Drummond where he won't try to do anything offensively which exposes him. Can do the Dwight Howard Lakers role playing role.
