I can’t even lie.. I know it’s not gonna happen, but I’m kind of rooting for the Rockets to get this ring. Westbrook is my dude of Course.. but mainly it’s for Harden.


At first the hate and disrespect was funny , but now it’s like a damn Echo Chamber and all these lames Basically calling him a bum. I’m not sure if we’ve ever seen a player as crafty as him and and his level of being elite in both scoring and passing is on a very short list ALL TIME.

Yup. Seeing mfers gas up AD when that nygga barely done anything to put himself over PG13... let alone Harden who despite his playoff struggles habitually takes Houston to the playoffs in the West.. habitually advances to the 2nd or 3rd round... and was only getting eliminated by the team heavily favored and regarded as the "GOAT" team three of the last four years.

The same team a ringless KD was also "choking" and bytching up against before he went and joined them nyggas. Hell, KD and Lebron all had luxuries of playing with a top 5 "sidekick" and top 15'sh "third wheel". Steph and Kawhi had some of the most well-balanced and structured teams with great coaching and 2-way players who could cover for them when they were looking shaky.

Harden otoh holds it down despite having flimsy roster pieces and gimmicky coaches who can't adjust for shyt. So yea, i'll criticize him for not being able to carry bum ass Clint Capela and CP3 on one hamstring past Golden State, but i'ma have that same energy when it comes to the shortcomings AD, Giannis, and any other top 5-10 player have had.

So when the Nuggets get all their guys back what happens with MPJ? Malone has to keep him in the starting unit right?

MPJ should of had 10-15 minutes a night back when the season started but Malone is a moron. So when Barton, Harris, and Murray get back Malone is going to either start him with an incredibly short leash or he is going to be on the bench justifying Craig’s and Barton’s playing time

Charles c00ning on TNT right now:scust:

I detest Charles Barkley
What he say?

Gary Trent jr had 27 points :jbhmm:

This might get real interesting in the offseason.

Hes also 6’6 and can play defense.
CJ might want to watch out. :hubie:

:ehh: CJ’s replacement

If I were the blazers and was offered a good wing for him, I’d ship him out
He's under contract through next year. Then he'll be a restricted free agent. We can keep both.

We'll need the salary cap if he signs up with another team to match the offer but I don't know what his market is after next season. He may just accept the qualifying offer.

Whiteside comes off the books at $27 mil this off-season...that has to help. And we can get rid of Ariza, who's making 12 mil.

If ariza never opted from playing, Trent would be getting like 15 mpg and barely any shots

if Barton and Harris weren’t injured porter jr would be rotting on the bench

Coaches need to play their better young talent

Same applies to Doc Rivers and Zubac.

Montrezl is unavailable and now look at Zubac: 21pt 15reb 10/10 fgs vs DAL

Had 18 and 12 the other night vs PHX.

He missed training camp/exhibition games and was out of shape vs the Lakers, but now that he's in shape and Doc is forced to play him in the 4th, he's been their 3rd best player.

Dude. It's just so the other team doesn't get a chance to evaluate schemes and other stuff against your full squad and gather information for when the games actually count.

They've have from oct to feb for that. I'm sure every team has used their full arsenal in that time frame.

Wrong. It’s merely to rest current injuries and pains and to prevent unnecessary injuries
