Safe to say this is the height of Melo's Knick tenure?

 

[Moheezy]

don't speak that into existence

Beverley or Satoransky would be a much better fit

Satoransky from the Wizards? Interesting.

Bev would be a good fit as well, but does he fit the timeline? and isn't Rozier's ceiling higher?

I actually saw this live. Damn near woke up the whole neighborhood.

Anyways in retrospect it’s kinda pathetic. Regular season game. No playoff highlights for melo.

12 FTA/G
.427 FTr

Fraudulent 37 PPG

you not gonna come in here and say Mike wasnt getting fouled in '87 b. some of those fouls made him spit up blood.

mike's fouls and harden's 'fouls'..............whole different stratosphere.

Ya, fck Kyle Korver.
He blamed Russ for those racist taunts towards him.
And the Thabo situation, "Korver recalls the guilt and shame he felt when Sefolosha was arrested because at first he blamed Sefolosha for putting himself in that position instead of considering the role his race may have played".

Yeah I'm not opposed to the Knicks putting a good team on the floor in 2019-20. MSG lit is

You dont have to slow him down. Focus on slowing down everyone else.

same thing was said about lebron james' teams for literally years. 'Let him get his, but don't let, *insert battier, ray allen, jr smith, bosh, love, frye, jeffereson, haslem, thompson, etc* beat you.'

Good coaches will get their plays ran. and get guys open. Most teams aren't disciplined enough to not focus on the star and handcuff the other guys.

Would you consider it choking if the Rockets lose to the Warriors in a tight series and Harden puts up good numbers?

by good numbers, you mean, what he's averaged all season? and also what he's averaged against them? sure.

but if there's a huge drop off. even scoring 20-25 a game, after averaging 36.....yeah, he choking.

Too pessimistic about us to buy it nick.

All seems too good to be true.

Crazy though, after the game last night DJ and Beal were huddled up covering their mouth. DJ def mentioned KD, mic was right on them.

kd and dj are also best buds too.

I agree about the Bron thing but thats really the best way to do it unless you have a Kawhi, Horford, Embiid (kinda) or *cough cough* Noah Vonleh *cough cough* to throw on Giannis. Double teaming him isnt the move because hes a good enough passer to make you pay. You pick your poison, Giannis getting 50 and losing and Giannis getting 35 while Middleton/Bledsoe have 20 a piece and Lopez knocking down 5 threes

 

[HIM]

I think Pierce is poking fun at himself when he makes these claims. He’s trolling and knows he’s gonna get roasted for him. After watching the video Im a fan of his. Someone said he also called himself a better shooter than Klay

Just watched a video where he said he pioneered the stepback

50 ppg is not a breeze for anyone

40 ppg was easy for mamba for a month and a half in '06...he even said he could've stretched it out longer if he wanted to.. itd be easy for Goat. with the easier rules even today, they'd get to the line 4-5 more times minimum, and higher attention to 3 point shooting, both would've focused more on the range ball.

 

[freeze]

maybe 40. idk about 50 lol
harden at 36 rn
and he takes an insane clip of 3's and super high usage rate

its because his game is limited. 3s and layups. if he had more skills, he'd have more points. period.

 

[drewsone]

i get what youre saying
wonder how many times they'd let Jordan get to the line
his years where he had 37, 35 ppg had usage rate of 38% and 10 ft per game
if he made like 2 3's a game on top of all that i can def see it happening

at least 4-5 more foul calls. that's 8-10 more points. quick. 10 was baby food in 87. back then flagrants were common fouls...and common fouls were no calls.

Why is Harden even a topic for discussion? How about dude at least make it to the finals first.

New SI cover. Pretty sick picture...

It is a great time when people are talking more about LeBron missing the playoffs, than they are talking about who is actually in the playoffs.
