The 2014-2015 NBA Season Thread. Lock It Up Please: The Golden State Warriors Are The Champions

[do work son]

yall usually gripe about how kobe was robbed in 05-06 for the MVP.

he averaged 35 on 27 shots. shot 45% from the field. 10.2 FTA's per game.

harden averages 27 on 18 shots shooting 44% from the field. 10.1 FTA's per game. also averages more assists and rebounds.

yes, i know that lakers team stunk, but looking at the rockets this season with their injury issues, what's the difference besides a forum wide disdain for james harden?

I keep reading on here that Harden has a bad supporting cast. I don't get it.

On paper...they're a pretty damn good team.

patrick beverly/ jason terry/ pablo prigioni
corey brewer/trevor ariza
donatas motiejunas/ josh smith/ terrence jones (missed a lot of games and just got hurt again)
dwight howard (missing about 40 games) and joey dorsey.

great team on paper

edit: i obviously want harden to win but i understand if they give it to curry. he's on the best team in the league. that's usually how the mvp award goes.

Hating on Harden because he shoots a lot free throws

It's a skill to draw fouls

 

[addict4sneakers]

Chester isn't a fan of anyone.

He's the NT silky Johnston

You said "yes I know the lakers team stunk" so casually as if they were just a below average team.

Nah brah

that 05 lakers team was full of NBDL BENCH players. Not NBDL stars. NBDL BENCH WARMERS

hardens team is not even in the same hemisphere of awfulness as that one

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

The real skill is drawing fouls in the playoffs

If you can read...you'll notice I didn't call them a "great team".

Point is....you can do ALOT worse. That's enough to remain competitive in the Western Conference.

Y'all trying to make it seem like Harden is out there playing with the Knicks roster or some ****.

Where's the dude who said Harden was out there playing chess because defenders get called for fouls for breathing on James?

[rolaholic]

Kevin Love picked Russ for MVP

You expect him to snub his boy?

Warriors Supporting Cast and lack of injuries >>>>>>>>

Harden is the MVP case closed!

 

[ryanjumpman420]

Im not knocking Harden at all but Russ is doing things folks have never seen before. Damn the numbers. Just watch him play.

 

[addict4sneakers]

I said Harden is playing chess. Ball positioning and how he operates of the pick and roll are masterful.

Like I said, if you think he's just being corey Maggette or Kevin Martin, then you need to moisturize your situation

 

[Chester McFloppy]

It's incredible the numbers that Steph is putting up playing 4 less minutes per game than Harden.

 

[Chester McFloppy]

Like I said, if you think he's just being corey Maggette or Kevin Martin, then you need to moisturize your situation

So is James Harden a Kevin Martin x Manu Ginobili hybrid or no?

 

[jumpman ii]

It's not even close to "case closed"

 

[flyerthandelta]

Oh so now that Warriors are relevant you show face in here now

Where have you been?







You still a Lakers fan or did you make another team change?

Harden puts you in a position where it's foul him or let him score

Also Harden finishes and get a lot and ones so he's not out there just flopping

Harden's roster is way better than Kobe's dog **** team in 05-06.

@ Harden's MVP chances described as "case closed" when 90% of the stats provided favor Westbrook.

Also noteworthy that the only stats that matter are PPG, assists, steals, and FG%.
