The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[king j]

Harden the greatest regular season player ever…Chokes routinely in the playoffs

 

[elpablo21]

Spurs without Kawhi...
Benching vs CP0 led Clippers...
Last year...

All for a guy that was apparently in Mike's and Bean's class...nah

Who put him in that class? Not a convo I was a part of

 

[antidope]

ESPNs NBA coverage is so bad.

ALA let’s get it

Of course it hurts. Again the foul baiting. The disappearing acts. Those been the demons. Both teams going to turn the ball over but this is the NBA. one high turnover guy won’t hurt you. 2 can. 3 will kill you.

Ok so why say you can overcome it when Harden has never overcame all of his flaws? He was never gonna get a title as your #1 guy. Then as a #2 if he can't hog the ball he'll check out on you like he did last year.

Knicks fans were probably talking spicy to the fam an hour ago. Now Christmas is ruined.

If a loss was all it took to ruin our day we wouldn't be Knicks fans

 

[elpablo21]

I do NOT condone the Jordan and Kobe comparisons but what are you arguing? That he was overrated? Yes, if folks put him in THAT category but he was Top 5 in his peak and hasn’t won a ring. A lot of people haven’t won rings or as may as they could have because of Jordan, Kobe (and Shaq to an extent), LeBron and Steph. Even with the scenarios you mentioned, he is running into Lebby or Steph eventually and his teams would have lost just in a later round. I can’t knock him for not contending with Top 10-13 guys of all-time when he is not a Top 10-13 guy of all-time himself.

You either win chips or you're a fraud. This is how basketball works

Joker been a fraud the last two years I guess

ESPNs NBA coverage is so bad.

they don't even try anymore

 

[MVP]

Lawd they dragged Hubie Brown outta bed in freezing temps for this game

 

[B Sox]

Luka shooting 50% is nuts.

 

[pmatic]

Don't embarrass us in front of Hubie and the hose.

 

[lynchpin33]

Hubie doing his first of 15 games this year!!

This Harden v. Westbrook argument is very weird.

Both are past their prime. One is slightly more washed than the other. One will prob miss the playoffs while the other will be a 1st or 2nd round exit like usual.

at Russ only being “slightly more washed” than Harden.

 

[TimelessClassic]

Luka not interested in this game at all...he must have ate a BIG Christmas dinner last night

 

[B Sox]

Lakers sending doubles at Luka every possession and the rest of the team can’t do anything

 

[ill steelo]

Exemplary professionalism from the Lakers. This is an 11:30AM game for them

 

[B Sox]

Cocaine Bear commercial

 

[storm2006]

Lakers sending doubles at Luka every possession and the rest of the team can’t do anything

You would think the rest of the team is well rested after minimal cardio while watching a near triple-double 50 piece from Luka on Friday but they aren’t doing anything

What is Nike doing? They made the Lakers the Kings now huh

 

[elpablo21]

Are vertical mass truthers allowed to get down with this? storm2006

 

[addict4sneakers]

Some of y’all were screaming at Luka for some off the ball scoring right?

 

[pmatic]

Bruh give Luka the MVP.

 

[100027]

Watching Dallas

 

[B Sox]

Mavs team is pathetic getting to play 4 on 3 once Luka passes out the double.
