Truth Be Told, the Mavs SHOULD Be Up 2-0...In Game 1, they were Up Double Digits w/7 Minutes Remaining, yet Found a Way to LOSE the Game... Popovich's SUBBING was Weird in the 4th...The Spurs were 1nce Again DOWN Double Digits Heading Into the Quarter, Yet Pop Sat Parker Until the Deficit Went from 13 to 20+...Then, when he FINALLY Put Parker in, he Took Duncan OUT... REED:mj:
Not Only is Aldridge Playing in THE Most COMPETITIVE 1st Round Series, he's Also Been THE BEST Player in the Playoffs, Easily... Simply Put, the Houston Rockets CANNOT Defend LaMarcus Aldridge...They HAVE to DOUBLE TEAM his Ass in Game 3... REED PICKED Houston in 7, but to Do that, they Now Have to WIN 4 of the Next 5, Which DOESN'T Seem Realistic @ this Point... REED:hammert:
cuz the spurms are fucking boring? i picked them to win it all but if they lose thats gravy credit to aldridge. the guys hoopin, big time
Harden is an overrated, choking hype machine just as I've always called. Simply a top player by default because so many of the past great two guards are old/retired.
First, I have to say I stand corrected, I said LMA wouldn't get 40+ again, the guy is in god mode, like Reed said, he's the best player in the playoffs right now. So what's going on with Houston? I'm hearing Rocket's GM Daryl Morey is having meetings with McHale after the games. He's fucking pissed. Asking McHale why nodefensive adjustments, like double teams on LMA and wtf is wrong with Harden... McHale's answer: That it's all because the now former Rocket's Assistant coach, Kelvin Sampson is gone (took head coach job at UH). Said that Sampson took care of defensive strategies and adjustments and that it was HE, that held Harden accountable. Essentially, he's been telling the Rocket's GM that he has no clue on Defense and can't control Harden. McHale is out of here barring a championship.
I will say this, dude is playing like someone is fucking his chick and his mom died right before the game. I heard that he got into a heated exchange after the game with a reporter, the reporter was asking him what was up with his shooting % or something like that, get this shit, Harden says "we need to get stops." :laugh11: He showing immaturity, not owning up on his shitty play, and from my previous post, he has NO respect for the coaching staff.
LMFAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Possibly the dumbest statement I've ever heard regarding basketball. Kobe was 22 years in 01 where he had an EPIC playoffs run, and was highly instrumental in the Lakers only losing 1 game in the 01 playoffs. That version of Kobe was ALREADY better than Harden EVER will be. Kobe already by then was MILES ahead of Harden as a scorer, a FAR better creator and ball handler, and LIGHT YEARS better as a defender. I mean, Kobe was asked to carry a huge offensive load AND STILL guard Allen fuckin Iverson on the other end! Picture Harden trying to slow down a prime Iverson. Once again, let me say again.......dumbest statement EVER on Basketball. Harden will NEVER touch 01 Kobe, and that was a PRE-prime Kobe. I won't even get into the level Kobe reached in 03, when he was still only 24 (Harden's age now).
We're talking about a Kobe that obliterated the defense of the 01, hand-check era Spurs. Harden can't even handle the defense of the fucking 2014 Blazers. What a comical statement. Harden's not in the same league as Vince Carter was back then, LET ALONE Kobe. The honest TRUTH about Harden is, he's more comparable to Michael Redd than he is to guys like Kobe/Carter/T-Mac/Iverson/Wade/Ray Allen in their primes.
The real story is that fraud Beverly somehow escaped Chris Webbers bedroom long enough to be clowned by Lillard. Lillard penetrates at will and it's one of the big reasons LMA has gone off.
harden is unproven in big games thus far. could you have substituted other guys for bryant in the fakers 3 peat run and still go the same results? yes i believe so, and its possible harden wouldve won rings in place of bryant with that team.
WOW!!!... Harden's Always had the DEMEANOR of a 2nd Fiddle, of Robin, in REED's Opinion...Sounds like he's CRACKING Under the Pressure of Beating Batman for the Houston Rockets... REED:mj:
The only other two guard of this generation who was on the same level as Kobe was Wade, when he was young and healthy. That's the only other guy who coulda performed at a similar level in that 01 playoffs. I know you're a hardcore Kobe hater to the death, but it's undeniable....... Harden isn't on the same level as Kobe. Not as physically talented, not as skilled, and sure as FUCCCKKKKK not as motivated. A young Bryant would be shitting on this Blazer team, and you know it.
put wade on that faker team they win rings. put reggie miller, dumars, richmond on that team, they win rings. pierce, mcGrady they win rings in place of bryant with a PRIME Oneal.
Yeah, Ignoring the FACT Kobe is 1 of THE Best 2-Way Players in NBA History, he SHITS on Harden just from an OFFENSIVE Perspective...James Harden is a VERY Good Offensive Player, but he's NOT Even a Pubic Hair on the Nutsack of Kobe Bryant... REED:mj:
Even as a DIE-HARD Chris Webber Fan, his NUTHUGGERY of Beverley is TIRESOME...It's a PLEASURE Watching Lillard Get the Better of Him...30+ in Game 1, Damn Near a Triple-Double in Game 2...Beverley's Definitely NOT Having the Impact on Lillard that Some May Have Expected... REED:mj:
Fuck the Results, INDIVIDUALLY, Kobe was a MUCH Better Player than Harden will EVER Be... More SKILLED, More ATHLETIC, More DETERMINATION, KILLER INSTINCT, COMPETITIVENESS, More CLUTCH, HIGHER BBall IQ AND Kobe Plays Both Ends of the Court...There's NO Reasonable Argument for James Harden Being on Kobe's Level, @ a Similar Point of their Careers... NONE... REED:nono:
Perhaps... Nonetheless, Not 1 of those Individuals is/was BETTER than Kobe Bryant...NONE of those Dudes would Have the Audacity to Even SUGGEST they were Better than Kobe Bryant... REED ISN'T Even a "Fan" of Kobe's Per Se, but his EXPLOITS & GAME FILM Speaks for itself... REED:mj:
bryant was unquestionably the second banana on those first 3 title teams. and at times he nearly held them back from winning at that point in his career.
To the "fraud" who got DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR votes, in game 1, Lillard scored half his 30 on LIN, NOT Beverly. Game 2. Bev was on him pretty much the entire game. Result??? Lillard shot 21 fucking percent. Oh yeah, Bev is really getting "clowned." And I thought Harden had a bad game but Lillard had and even WORSE game shooting wise. Everyone knows I'm a Rockets fan, it's pretty obvious. But I won't give a fuck if someone is shitting on one of the Rockets like what's going on with Harden and I won't say shit because it's justified, but you are WRONG in regards to Beverly. Unless 3-14 is "clowning" someone.
Did you watch game 1 Reed??? Half of Lillard's 30 was on LIN. Game 2: 21% shooting. I think your boy CWEBB is right.
the grizzlies really are loaded. they added koufus, miller, lee, johnson and udrih who are all capable roll players
Who was the Other Half On???...& WHY Don't the Rockets just KEEP Beverley on Lillard, if he's the KEY to Stopping him???... REED:hammert:
