Watching whole games is useful if you like watching defense. And if youre worried about it being too long, then fastforward all the dribbling the ball up the court, freethrows, dead balls, timeouts and you can watch an entire game in under 40 minutes. I 2

This is proof that the regular season DOES MATTER. You have to be good enough to get there first. And not only that, but getting a decent seed that helps your chances of winning a playoff series. 6

Hes been called that before its nothing new. 4

wtf theyre down by 23! 6

What he said is still kinda valid because Harden still doesnt have a 50 point playoff game explosion. But anybody who still thinks Harden is anything less than a good playoff performer at this point is an idiot though. 0

I know. Its true. 2

And he already has 22 turnovers in just 4 games. We can talk all we want about the rest of the team but he has to be better. I was expecting him to have a resurgent season. 4

If you limit clutch to only the last shot then yes he has been. 1

This is going a little too far but playing with those guys clearly infatuated his reputation. They masked the things that he either wasnt good at or not as good as other stars at. 0

Its too early to tell anything. These games are just for seeding puposes. 3

Man, if he carries this team into the playoffs he will get so much praise. All his detractors will be forced to shut up. 1

Too early for this. 1

And I remember years ago when the Colin Kaepernick kneeling talk was going on Lebron wanted no parts of that. 3

The idea is if it happens for like 10 years with a bunch of different teams, players, coaches then it is a TREND. And that he is the common denominator. 1

That makes sense. Parker wasnt good after 2014. I remember Spurs fans actually criticizing Poppovic for playing Parker instead of Patty Mills, especially in the 2015 playoffs. Its a big reason they lost. 2

Thats why I dont rate him as a top 10-15 player. He is a Barkley, Malone level player. Better than them probably but on the same level. -2

Westbrook not being there is helping them. He is playing terribly this season. 4

The problem is he got the Thunder in the 3-1 deficit with his terrible play in games 2-4. Westbrook hasnt had a good playoff series since 2017. 10

He was only a rookie and 2nd year player without Scottie. Why do people still care about that like its a valid argument? 2

Nelly Furtado is thick. 3

Thank you, Magic. 7

Lebron and AD/Kyrie you mean. Kyrie DOMINATED the unanimous MVP. 1

Clyde went to the finals thrice. Team success is why people think that of T-Mac. 1

Durant. 3

I dont wanna hear this. Why did you QUIT on your BLACK coach instead of giving him an opportunity to prove himself at his first job. The guy is a spoiled diva. 3

Okay, the ex players have the right to criticize him or quitting and throwing his teammates under the bus on his way out though. 2

I still think its too early. 1

People are WAY too quick to write players off and they put way too much stock into early season struggles/success. The smart fans who have watched the league for years know its a long season with ups and downs. 1

If were being real, I remember when Kobe got fined 100k for calling the ref a f*****. 2

Anybody can lose to anybody. Dont ever think your team or a certain team is too good to have a disappointing loss. Over 70-80 games they 100% will happen. 2

Nah, both players were talented offensively but thats all they were. They offered nothing else. 2

Players like Lebron and AD, and Curry/KD should not be teaming up. Of course there will be no interesting story when you just put two guys like that together. Its boring. The championships those guys won are among the least legendary in NBA history. Imag -3

Lebron got outscored by Jason Terry. He had the 3rd highest PPG on his own team. Its not close. 3

I love the regular season. I love coming home from work and there are a bunch of games to watch. A bunch of different highlights/events/storylines/drama every day. 12

Exactly. And then during the offseson the same people complain that the offseason is too long lmao. 0

David Robinson in his DPOY season averaged 2.3 SPG and 4.5 BPG. 7

I you watched the game you saw how many good defensive plays he was making. Booker was just on fire. against anybody. 1

Other way around. The only player from back then where rings are used heavily is Isiah Thomas. 1

Their entire team is 4th in the west. 3

Dame is the better player. 3

It actually makes perfect sense. Youre not gonna go on two 3-peats without a good supporting cast. They were a good team that he made a GOAT-level team. They probably wouldve won around 70 games if Jordan had played that year. 1

Rachel Nichols 3

Zion clearly 1

I was thinking that too when I watched it again. 1
