Im sorry, but this is the year I say the NBA is unwatchable. The fouls and contact overall need a recalibration. It's gone way off the deep end since the bubble. Edit: the foul on Holiday on his block attempt, which he blocked the ball then hit arm, is absolutely ridiculous.
I don't watch much nba anymore but stayed up to watch that, that last play from the time KD rebounded with 7 sec left, did Harden completley chicken out of that? KD crossed half way and gave it to Harden and instead of taking responsibility and driving Harden just said no way and gave it straight back in a spot that KD was never really going to get a decent shot off? I haven't watched a replay so only saw it once so I apologise if I'm wrong but Harden looked like someone who wanted no responsibility for winning or losing the game
You're exactly right actually. It happened in game 5, and KD hit a crazy shot to win. All the guys that are good that tried to cheat their way to a championship?
Harden talking about getting injured is rich. He didn't want to play in Houston and came in overweight by a lot, and he had a soft tissue injury.
Awwww poor baby. The super team wasn't good enough. I'm gonna pray for him, and especially for KD. I love those guys. They're such fierce competitors, and they don't join super teams. I gotta respect them for that, and not ruining basketball.
Yup. Greek Freak and Middleton making NBA great again. Greek Freak has refused to run to other superstars in order to ring chase like a coward. K.D's legacy took a huge hit tonight. First he ran to the same G.S dynasty who not only broke the 1996 Chicago Bulls regular season record a record experts predicted could never be broke but also ran to the same Steph Curry who eliminated him just the season before. And now? Despite all 4 of Kyrie, Harden, Durant and Blake Griffin all running to one another out of fear? 1 wolf goes down in Kyrie and the other big bad wolves fall apart? Former finals MVP couldn't beat Milwaukee? Needed to ball hog damn near 40 shots? Best team $$$ can buy? Still lost? Still eliminated? Favorites my ass!
I’m not sure his legacy took a hit; his legacy, as you stated, was always that he needed the Warriors to win a championship not the other way around. Yesterday was simply additional proof of that.
I was overjoyed to see the Nets go down in OT. That being said KD’s legacy remains intact. His performance was outstanding, including his unbelievable shot to send the game into OT. Still glad they lost though. Hopefully the Hawks lose tonight.
Hawks loss would've been nice. I can not stand Trae Young or his running mate Clint Capela. I hope Milwaukee smokes them out of the playoffs. On a side note it's always awesome to watch the city of Philadelphia go down in flames. Milwaukee vs. Phnx Suns will become the 2021 NBA (underdog) finals while pissing off all the fans who buy stock into "Big 3's" @ the same time.
I've been perplexed by the mindset of all of these players supposedly chasing Jordan or greatness in general since LeBron decided to create this new era of basketball when he went to Miami. They've all kamikaze'd their own legacies in the mind of the older generations. Does anyone think Barkley, Ewing, Stockton, Malone, etc. weren't great players because they never got a ring? Not to mention I have to believe Durant would've at least tested the waters of the finals one more time if he stayed in OKC another year or two with the twin 7 footers and Russ. Harden didn't look like he had a chance unless he hitched his wagon to someone else. Kyrie doesn't have the skill set to be the centerpiece of a championship team. That's why I root for Giannis and Dame Lillard.
Well to be fair to LeBron he didn't start this big 3 thing. Boston did. With Pierce, Ray Allen and K.G; however LeBron did take the ball and run with it. Patrick Ewing. Hakeem Olajuwon. Julius Irving. Larry Bird. Magic Johnson. Michael Jordan. James Worthy. Kevin McHale. David Robinson. Reggie Miller. Rick Smits. John Stockton to Karl Malone. Isiah Thomas. Joe Dumars. Kobe Bryant (rip). Tim Duncan. Manu. Dirk. Steph Curry. Greek Freak. Dame Lillard. Etc. Etc. These were the guys who made basketball fans fall in love with their favorite teams. They all had and have too much heart to leave their cities behind. Kids like Steph, Dame, Bradley Beal, Nikola Jokic and the GreekFreak are saving the game that we once loved while cowards like LeBron, K.D, Harden, A.D and Kryie have all tried to ruin.. Dame, Curry, Beal, Antetokounmpo and Jokic I love those kids.
