2017 NBA Playoffs Thread - CLE @ BOS Game 5 on TNT

[charlie parker]

From demanding post ups from one of the great PGs of our time to getting outplayed by Marcin Gortat, who was losing minutes to Ian Mahinmi

Life, man. It doesn't wait for anyone

Dwight Howard has been a shell for a while now but no one wanted to believe it.  I tried to tell dudes since the WCF vs Warriors.

He's been finessing checks out of GM'S for at least three seasons.

"I walk in the bank and I laugh, I walk in the bank and I laugh..."

Since when is 30 to 34 years old prime.
Russ will have a steep decline quickly. Relies on his athleticism more then nearly any other Star. Want nothing to do with Russ on my squad.

I LOVE how this narrative changed so quickly... in OKC he was a playmaker, first few years on the rockets he was labeled a inefficient chucker... now he has magic like basketball IQ

Harden has never been inefficient on the rockets. Dude has had 1 season of less than a 60 TS and that was 59 last year.

 

[JD617]

The inefficient chucker label never really made sense to me.

 

[hardens beard]

Other than KD, he's been the most efficient high usage player in the league since he got to the rockets

nah you on some pipe dream right now..

 

[JD617]

it's not technically wrong.. but you can tell who really don't know what the hell they're talking about..

brooks was forced to give harden control of the 2nd unit his last year in OKC because eric maynor got hurt.. which was also the primary reason why harden averaged over 30 mins per for the first and only time with OKC

a lot of convenient conversation going about: brooks, westbrook, harden and KD.. hell even ibaka

aint hard to figure out who legit watched what was going on back then.. and who all of sudden decided to pick up and have an opinion like they're on first take or whatever skip's show is called

I'm a little lost. Who are you disagreeing with here?

[freddy fig]

U didnt know referees are e&j's official sponsor..there vision be foggy

 

[wavycrocket]

Inside the NBA is a real joke. Chuck said last night that the warriors don't play good defense




**** like this be playing into these lazy narratives we have

 

[100027]

Harden has always been crazy efficient because of the FTs (which everyone hates but I don't mind really).

 

[freddy fig]

We dont hate the free throws we hate the acting job after contact

Kenny quickly disagreed with him though.

I think at this point TNT is paying Chuck to troll

 

[hardens beard]

All 4 of them on TNT. I'd rather they just crack jokes instead of pretending to know about modern basketball

I wanted OKC to come back just so we could get that entire ref crew outta here for missing that over & back.

That was the most egregious missed call I've seen in a while

this really was disgusting thought. 2nd best defensive team in the lead, with the dpoy, doesnt play good defense? huh bruh?

 

[Lovetohate3000]

I stopped watching tnt or any of the talking heads long ago. only time I watch , is when people post videos on here, just to see the nonsense most of these dudes are saying.  so many dudes take skip Bayless and sas  type shows as gold.  then when you argue they say professionals > you . its like okay.

Yeah I get it, he plays to draw the foul a lot of the time.

So harden is the best player in the league? Agreed

Any Utah NTers in here? Thinking about flying out for Game 4, for the agriculture.

How does Utah feel about hispanic dudes?
