Don't always watch ESPN pregame but Pierce and Chauncey were going IN on harden and the rockets. But then they picked them to win

Sheesh

Knew the Rockets wasn’t doing much this season when they let Melo go...can’t treat Baltimore cats like that

 

[keko jones]

He's their best player

Arguably right

 

[Kinfolk]

not even mad at it, i would do everything in my power to throw steph off as much as possible

I wouldn't say I'm mad at it. I see what he was trying to do. I'd even go as far as to say that that's part of the game.

But look what being THAT petty yielded.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Him and Rondo need their jerseys retired for what they did to those clowns

Damn..when you really spell it out like that. Sheesh

First Barkley and folks said jumpshooting teams will never win a title

Now it’s teams who use analytics will never learn that the game isn’t played on a spread sheet

Analytics aren’t used the same way by every team. Case and point: the rockets. Analytics are data points and sample sizes. More than likely a majority of teams if not all use analytics

Folks using a broad brush attacking analytics as a whole are lost. Folks undervaluing how MIL has used analytics also aren’t aware of the lengths Bud went to implement his offensive strategy. It’s more than get Giannis 4 shooters

Jalen was spittin some truth about Harden too but what do they know, Nick Wright knows the truth.

Funny quote and all, but perhaps not exactly THE best day to imply that there is some sort of wisdom behind Charles Barkley quotes.

The Warriors did what they had to do and they showed out. But give some credit to Looney, Iggy and the other role players who stepped up.
This on Houston and MDA's system. They choked last night and couldn't get stops defensively when it mattered in the 4th. CP3 had one good game the entire series but was
a passenger throughout. And Capella gave you absolutely nothing after running his mouth. I can't believe how incredibly soft this dude is. He ran from so many 50/50 challenges last night that cost them major points.

Houston's window closed last night and the MDA experiment failed again.

Charles was so sure the warriors would not beat the rockets after Durant went down was ready to fight Shaq and Kenny

Harden was too distracted by Beyoncé cocoa butter lotion smell

Steph used to it with Roz didn’t phase him

Underrated reply right here.


Steph used to it cuz of Ros

This coming from a laker fan from Baltimore that supports a team about to hire JB Bickerstaff and it’s fan base held a 17 man protest.

 

[frshstunna]

Boston be vs Rockets should have a parallel finals in June at TSU ... gotta get
“experts”right

[polosanddunks]

Tillman the Rockets owner is a clown too. Dont ever disrespect Hakeem Olajuwon. This dude had the audacity to say "Hakeem won his first chip when he was 31" implying Harden still has time.

Before he was 31 Hakeem knocked off the Lakers and shocked the world meanwhile being double & triple teamed and THEN had to go against arguably one of the best Teams of all time in the Boston Celtics in the finals and still went to 6 games.

Rockets owner is a SUCKA too just like the rest of them losers on that unit.

Where you get Baltimore from? I'm from Seat Pleasant, same place as KD.

And JB's pops had a 80% win as the Lakers coach.

Harden and Paul just walked off the court after the game. Poor sportsmanship. Can’t say I’m shocked.

Well you walked out the thread when your team lost

 

[reputory]

Thats completely ignoring context. What was it? 5 points combined in the last 6 minutes of game 5 and 6?

Superstars do more. Period.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Yeah Rockets owner was definitely gone off something. SAS was talking about how crazy he looked during the game.

Harden and Paul just walked off the court after the game. Poor sportsmanship. Can’t say I’m shocked.

Well you walked out the thread when your team lost

All facts.
