I haven’t been this irritated at a loss in a long time.

Gonna need an explanation why 26 year old 2 way Lindly Waters III played 20 minutes including half of the 4th quarter in a competitive game over healthy nba players.

Because I genuinely dislike James Harden and think he's skated by with a lot of folks for too long, Cavauro.

Someone asked Ant about this and just generally how he was still being pretty aggressive on defense even though he had 5 fouls and his response was basically "man they ain't gonna foul me out" which is very funny but is also probably going to lead to him fouling out in the next week or two on a very weak call to prove a point lol

he’s right lol. he committed the most obvious clear path foul ever on tatum when he already had 5 fouls and they swallowed their whistle

I think Russ is more of the problem with the Clippers than Harden at the moment because Russ just stops the ball and makes asinine plays every time he gets it.

Pretty much every game the suns have lost has been because they couldn’t make a bucket any time Durant has to sit. He’s old, can’t ride him like that. Should be better once bookers back but pretty irritating to watch the same thing happen each time

Does anyone have a video of Lebron eviscerating Beal last night? Granted Beal complained to the refs and didn’t get back on D and then easily cherry picked a layup after LBJ turned it over, but my god did he just send Beals soul to the netherworld

Ehhh, not really. He’s getting the starter rotation, he just has a knack for picking up fouls in bunches and having to get yanked. He also loses some minutes because they’re frequently trailing and have to go five out with either PJ or JT Thor

A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.
Seriously imagine getting angry at Harden, unless he happens to be on a team you root for, or a team you root for is trading for him.

The league is better that someone like him exists.

I cannot imagine not finding Harden wiggling his way out of various situations he hates funny.

It's just like I generally extremely hate righteous bloviation over poo poo that doesn't matter in sports like a player being confident or being bad.

I love that Russ and Harden are on the same team. It’s a perfect yin-yang. Has Russ ever really forced his way off any of the teams he’s been on? Besides with his play that is.

I like Harden because he was an all world player as a Rocket and we only had to deal with modern drama-bomb Harden for like 8 games on a team that was clearly going nowhere.

if he had been agreeable about coming off the bench as a laker and adjust his shot selection a bit he'd probably still be there

yeah what is with the whole "coming off the bench" thing, like it's some kind of scarlet letter of eternal shame. Last year the whole dialogue about 'asking' Russ to come off the bench was about making him a ton of promises that he would get enough minutes to get his shot attempts/numbers or whatever.

Is there some massive pay drop for a play coming off the bench? During the interview after the Lakers win over the Suns everyone was so awed at Reeves coming off the bench and doing great, like does that make his contract a bust or a good deal?

nah that isnt true at all. he came off the bench for 49 games before he was traded, all but 3 of them that season. also russ is inefficient but i dont think loading up on talen horton tucker shots was the answer either. he got traded cause they needed actual nba players to fill out the rotation instead of future chinese league bench players, not cause of anything he did wrong

Russ works well when he's surrounded by shooters that can operate off of the catch and a big man who can dunk that bad boy in the post. It's why he was playing decent before Harden brought his stinky pants over. James Harden slows down the offense and needs the ball in his hands. You have to choose one, it's absolute bs that Harden was even traded.

Free Russ.
