But bron, Steph, Kawhi, Russ that’s probably the most common travel in the league. Dudes be running with the ball before putting it down
 
Watching Harden is gross and I’ve maintained that during the years. I joined the bandwagon thinking, hoping, wishing he could beat GSW but I was kidding myself. He’s great, but he’s not my cup of tea. Not because of postseason failures, just because watching him iso and dribble for 17 seconds is one of the most disgusting styles of basketball I’ve ever seen.

The whole “I hate harden crowd but Steph needs moar health” guys are funny to me. All y’all.


 
He had Joe Johnson and Josh Smith.

I thought he was about to fold up vs Boston and the adjustments he made in that series are already better than what he did in Atlanta.

Hawks had the best record in the league that season. This is pt 2.

The 2 steps on the catch is fine, its the 2 more he took after the turn thats irking my soul lol
 
I’m not buying the Milwaukee hype. Giannis is the goods but as a Hawks fan, I know first hand the blockhead moves Budenholzer can and will make in the ECF
Hype?

They were #1 in offensive rating and #2 in defensive rating in the regular season and had the best record in the league. They have the MVP who has been on a tear thus far in the playoffs and is virtually unstoppable. He's surrounded by a bunch of guys that are knockdown 3pt shooters. This isn't the Hawks.
 
I’d be surprised if any team but the bucks win it all.
You'd be surprised if the team that has won the last 3/4 championships defeats the team that's never been to the finals before?
 
Bucks take Game 1...and so does Portland. Bucks in 6, GS in 5.

**** you think so? Warriors win 4 straight?

I am struggling with who I wanna take these Games 1's. Odds say home teams big. But that +8 and +6.5 are calling my name.
 
I’ve seen him choke in the finals. I’ve seen him choke in the conference finals. I’ve seen him choke in the semis. How do you define bum behavior?
Are we able to have conversations without using extremes?

Why can't we simply acknowledge that Harden's regular seasons outshine his playoff performances; in particular closing games when his teams are on the losing end.

We can say that for sure.

A bum though?

That is what we do now?

Have you been in this thread? This is what most of the people in here do.

I am not even sure anyone took the Hawks seriously :lol: (In terms of being a true contender)

I know I didn't.
 
I don't like where slander has gone.

All context is completely gone now. It's literally gotten to just simply reading a box score and letting slander go on a game-by-game basis. :smh:

Receipt culture. ****** is so thirsty to pull people’s cards, be “right” that they avoid ‘context’ at all costs to drive home a point

We haven't heard anything about KD's injury as of yet but I think he sits one more game. Portland comes out firing, GS gets caught being complacent and lose a close one. KD is back for Game 2 on and they wash them every other game of the series. As far as the Bucks I have no reasoning beyond not having any faith in the Rap's supporting cast on the road against Giannis and co.
