Harden actually playing defense on teammate is hilarious. He funny.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

It’s not?

Shot better than Jimmy and the stats are with him spraining his ankle in the first minute of Game 7 (same injury that forced Jimmy to come out and miss a subsequent game in the round before) and basically having to be a decoy since he couldn’t move. Never brought the ball up and barely even dribbled.

I assume you forgot that part.

Tatum shot 23% from 3 and had 26 turnovers

Ain't no way he was better than Jimmy

Solid cherry picking, but even with that he was still FAR more efficient even with the injury in G7 where he shot poorly.

47% from field vs 42% from field
59 TS% vs 52 TS%

You revisionist history dudes are funny

 

[HIM]

Still kills me that Washed set the bar for Wemby high enough to ensure he wouldn’t reach it and Wemby’s is gonna clear it comfortably

 

[B Sox]

Wemby pulling the Harden like somebody said a page or two ago but actually getting the block would have me dying and he should absolutely do it

Maybe I'm just a visionary. My prediction was based on everyone's expectations. I was just the only person bold enough to say it. I'd say he had a 7/10 rookie season. Good enough that I can't call him a bust......yet.

He’s so mad he’s using gold medals as some kind of barometer for him now

Guess he forgot about lebronze

Bron has two gold medals, about to get a 3rd.

if you thought playing with Shaq was a treat just wait til you see what those rosters looked like

Lebronze ain’t ever going away no matter how many golds he gets

Very weak nickname. In fact we need to have a conversation how every name pun on Lebron is painfully corny. It shows age.

Low brow humor, "That's what she said" type comedy. It's bad.

Bron needed someone to teach him how to win. Lucky Bean came through in 08 and unlocked him.

It’s prob cuz it’s painful for you

 

[aepps20]

No one could unlock that 04 team with Larry Brown. 04 was just a group of guys that actually honored their commitments.

Sparks no emotion. I just wish for innovation. I'm constantly finding new ways to slander players. But seeing the same rebuttals dampens my creativity.

Y'all still playing with your backs to the basket b.

Give the ball to Shaq and get out the way?

26 turnovers 36 missed 3's. Those dead possessions mean something in the playoffs.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

washed got some audacity for calling anything low brow

 

[aepps20]

Jdksncjskskakak

I don’t like this at all.

 

[millzszn93]

best defense ive ever seen from harden lol

 

[WASHED KING]

I just don't want y'all responses to sound like it came from the Lebron haters thread. I think too highly of y'all to witness that.

It's coming from a place of love b

Got you.

So since Jimmy’s combined turnovers and missed shots was more than Tatum, that means something.

Right?

Y’all know you can just admit you were wrong

Tatum was the best player on the floor until the injury. Was scoring more points, getting more rebounds, shooting more efficiently, playing good defense. Butler was good. Caleb Martin THOROUGHLY outplayed Jaylen Brown and that was huge.

So you’re telling me that just like that usa team, perhaps this iteration of Frances squad also has #anexcuse

 

[ALNotSure]

He was the best player on the floor in the Heat series last year

25/10/5 on 47% from the field.

Just can’t have another series like the Golden St one. I’d bet he doesn’t.

He averaged 30ppg regular season. A 5 point drop off in the playoffs is a really bad look.

 

[WASHED KING]

Wemby has no excuses not to win multiple gold medals and NBA championships.

 

[akajae]

When Wemby decides to play for team USA to honor his unborn son Washed gonna be sick

My commentary is limited to discussing that 04 USA team and how flawed the entire situation was from the perspective of someone that was on NT during that time. NT was really toxic as was ESPN. It felt like me and darthska were the only ones rooting for that team. They were called thugs, animals and slurs on ESPN’s comment section and not much better here. Guys tried their best but couldn’t hit shots. Larry Brown aka Mr. Play the Right Way tried his best to blame the players. It was so bad that David Stern had to call out Larry and say the players cared they just weren’t making shots.
