FIRST FOR GOOD DEFENSE LEADS TO GREATER OFFENSE
>>68980548
Imagine the defense of the 2016-2017 Houston Rockets with Mike "lol what's defense" D'Antoni
>>68980548
The U.S. even sending a team, seems like everyone is staying home
why would he post that guys?
>>68980548
>i am a professional athlete getting paid millions of dollars but i can't score outside the paint and the only skill i have is that i can jump really high
>>68980548
I want a proper GS v LAC playoff series. Mainly because I think Chris Paul can shit all over Steph, and I want to see DJ and Green chimp out.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdVFwaJtEkE
>>68980636
he plays good defense and blocks shots and rebounds well too
>>68980646
it already happened.
>talk shit all season about Warriors championship being a fluke and that they didn't have to face any tough opponents in the playoffs
>get fucking destroyed at home
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX07qwnqgS4
>>68980646
It already happened
>>68980679
can you imagine if this guy played with kobe or lebron? they'd kill themselves
>>68980679
>there are people who actually defend Harden as a top player
>>68980718
Is this a highlight reel for a basketball game or a 3 point contest highlight reel?
Is he the hero Orlando needs?
>>68980739
>david lee
they should've kept him desu famalam
>>68980718
Clippers get the last laugh, they gave Cavs the 1st round pick that ended up being Kyrie Irving as well as taking back DJ so Richard Jefferson would end up joining the Cavs this year.
Clippers LITERALLY get credit for cucking the warriors.
>>68980718
or was it this game? i don't even care. The Cloppers are so beneath me.

This is the like first season where I watched 90% of regular season games since I can't find a job.
I don't know how you guys do it. Regular season is so awful even the best teams playing each other is just meme shooting and people taking turns playing HORSE or some shit. Playoffs is actually a mans game where people play physical and display athletic skill instead of chucking up a meme from half court or flopping when someone breathes on you.
>>68980784
Do you think the thunder finally found out that he's really 35?
>>68980784
Orlando desperately needed a defense big man to pair with Vucivic. But giving up Oladipo was too much desu.
>>68980790
they don't have money desu famalam.
Oakland is not LA or NY or Miami
>>68980825
>I don't know how you guys do it
we're not casuals thats how we do it. go back to your job normie, this be a mans board.
>>68980798
i wouldn't talk shit you guys ended up in the same position as the clippers.
I miss Kobe
Why does he try so hard?
>>68980923

>>68980949
Everyone sucked his dick for two years straight that's why.
Who's the best white player of all time?
Don't say Larry Bird. Overrated.
>>68980856
the warriors didn't lose to a shit team such as Houston and weren't so cursed that they lose two of their starters and lose again in the playoffs to another inferior team.
The Warriors lost to a better team in the Finals.
not a suns fans, desu i dont like that team because of OCD for some reason but...when bledsoe comes back, they have knight there too..what happens to devin booker?

>>68980679
>>68981075
James Harden is better as a catch-and-score player. His dribbling out the clock and selfishness will not win championships.
Houston needs to get a real starting PG to move the ball around and get the team involved.

Dont worry Warriors fans
We gonna win the title next season as our team got gutted by ref ball with the suspension on Draymond Green and ejection on Curry.
LeCrab going to be 3-5 on 2017 then 3-6 at 2018.

The only unanimous MVP of course
>>68981002
You guys had a waaaaaaaaay worse loss than the clippers.

James Harden is literally worse than Jr Smith
>>68980679
Anyone else feel like Harden basically took a year off this season? It's like he just saw that shit was gonna go badly for the team and he decided to just get his stats and fuck out entirely on defense/effort. I hope he sorts it out, can be a top 3 player literally just by trying on defense, he's got the ability.
>>68986218
Everything about the rockets is pretty cancerous and it doesn't help being stuck on a team with Dwight Howard.
why does everybody here hate Dwight Howard? he's a top 10 center all time and a first ballot hall of famer
>>68986263
>Howard
>Top 10 center of all time
Bull shit. He had the potential but pissed it all away with acting like a bitch.
>>68986287
tell me 10 centers better than him
>>68986263
Never bothered to improve his game and was, in his own words, "afraid to fail."
Sounds like a bitchmade person who was gifted all the talent in the world, and still cried about it.
>>68986263
>>68986287
He probably stopped caring about basketball upon being traded to Lakers like the situation with Melo.
>>68986263
Its half and half.
His effort is questionable and his injuries have definitely hindered his play but at the same time, playing with Kobe and then Harden isn't exactly easy either.
He doesn't deserve all the flak he gets but he doesn't any praise either.
>>68981506
They don't need him, they have a Whiteside-waiting-to-happen in John Henson
This nigga was 6th in blocked shots last season with 2bpg in 18 fucking minutes, ship Monroe and give this fucker the starting role holy shit
>>68986244
I just can't believe they let McHale go. Best thing about that team outside of Harden, you don't fire a top 5 coach after 2 weeks, you just don't do it. Watch them fuck out completely this season, as a Rockets fan I'm fully embracing the end
>>68986263
Dwight gets way too much shit. He should still be better than he is though
>>68986263

Howard will never be remembered as a 10 ten anything. He's the bitch baby who gives up on his teams, is cancer in the locker rooms, and would rather leave than put in the work to make a championship-tier team.
