TALK YO **** BOO!

“Take the surprise outcha voice”

 

[misha]

I refuse to believe the media will reward Harden after his exit in Houston.

Was he wrong lol look at Houston this season

 

[rolaholic]

Candace Parker on TV >>>

Probably the best actual analyst on TNT

Was Marcus even D1 quality or did he get in based on nepotism/name recognition?

Name. That UCF team from 2010-13 used to hoop in the rec gym and got busted all the time. Especially him

 

[getback]

Looks like lonzo is getting dealt to Chicago according to woj

Tweet?

Candace Parker >>>

 

[storm2006]

Don’t forget the GOAT:

Funny enough, I couldn’t remember his name so I googled “Lakers fake insider” and his Twitter was the first result.

What we really need for the trade deadline is the the streets AKA Farbod AKA P C H with a combover. All the news is breaking at parties in Beverly Hills. Drummond is probably at one celebrating right now.

don’t know why they wouldn’t. That had nothing to do with him. Rockets org hasn’t disrespected him and more so he was right. They sucked.

they’ll hold some vendetta against him though.

Some media members blame him for the disaster that the Rockets are this season.
Just heard Dan Patrick say that on his radio show Monday. Said there’s no way he’d vote Harden MVP because of how he left Houston. He doesn’t actually have a vote, but I can’t imagine there aren’t any voters who feel that way.

Also, I still don’t understand why Kawhi isn’t even in the MVP discussion.

 

[amitt5504]

Best thing Marcus Jordan did was get us out that adidas contract lol

Tweet?

not official but he confirmed today a deal with the pelicanswont be coming and bulls is the most likely option with philly being the long shot second team

 

[dacomeup]

Uh, yea he was dead wrong. James Harden buying in on that team makes Houston a playoff squad. He’s that good.

With that said, I hope he wins MVP so I can cash in on this ticket

You're talking to the guy that thought they could be a 4-5 seed if things broke right.

Tweet?

I saw the same tweet...it was from a troll account. You gotta be careful these next 27 hours. A lot of fake news is going to be coming out. I just can’t imagine living such a meaningless life that I derive pleasure from spending my morning tweeting fake trades from a troll account. Sad.

DWade is nice on the Tuesday show too.

Shaq is Shaq and Lefkoe is a goofball.

Suns & now the Blazers without Kyrie & KD he’s been amazing

 

[JusaVibe]

Harden is a ***. Don’t give him no MVP for this season after how he handled that exit

What do most voters look for ?
It’s clearly stats and record no
If nets are first in the east and his numbers are the same they should give it to him
It all depends on the nuggets placement
If their fourth in the west does jokic win
Lebron and Embid are the only two who we can argue but their gonna be out for a while . Embid would have won but u can’t be missing a quarter third of the season and expect to get it

i 100% agree. But it’s just silly for some random dude not in Houston to ignore what the god is doing this season and how awful Houston was when he left. Even with a former all Nba guard

 

[addict4sneakers]

Oh and I would have 100% not accommodated Harden if I was Houston. But they did.

 

[storm2006]

PHX is #3 in the league by record and Portland is #9. What’s the joke here?

 

[addict4sneakers]

he’s beat them by himself. Portland twice

 

[amitt5504]

In all seriousness I have no issue with Harden being MVP because he’s clearly made the Nets better. Myrie and KD Nets the first few games were fun but they were also mid

 

[art vandelay]

Best thing Marcus Jordan’s dad did was get us out that adidas contract lol

More likely what happened.

We’ve been over this ad nauseam - Yes, record and stats are paramount but the MVP is also a highly narrative-based award. Yanni is having a year statistically similar to his previous MVP years, on the 5th best in the league (1GB Brooklyn) and you don’t even hear his name in this discussion. The fact it would be his 3rd in a row, which is a narrative, is one of the reasons why. You have to consider that as well.
