I've been reading some basketball forums where some fanatics were saying Harden is on the same level as a prime Kobe. I think anybody who says that, Kobe musta fucked their wife. Prime Bryant on this team in place of Harden, and we have a REAL series with the Rockets possibly up. Harden's had a great season, but people are going overboard. Kobe could simply kill you in far many more ways in Harden, and was far mentally tougher.
No, Harden is NOT on the same level as prime Kobe, and of course, everyone knows I'm a huge Rockets fan. Kobe could not be stopped in his prime, Harden can be. Kobe had more ways to score and was better defensively (in his prime.) Also, they just aren't very similar players. Harden is more in the Dwayne Wade mold and I do think, he will have a similar career to Wade's, if he starts taking his career more seriously.
Disagreed. Wade is closer to Kobe's level than Harden is to either one of their levels. Wade obviously had far LESS longevity than Bryant, but both at their bests there's not a huge gap. As far shooting guards go, there's Kobe #2 all time and Wade at #3. Mike was on a level all his own.
This I can agree with. He might prove me wrong. Few years back I said he was closer to the level of Michael Redd. This year he was obviously far better than Redd ever was.
I still have no idea if that partying before game 3 is true or not, I certainly hope it isn't, but even with that shitty game, his stats for this series are ELITE. 32 PPG 8.3 RPG 6.8 APG 2.3 SPG 2.75 TO 50.6 FG%
PRIDE Win for Houston Last Night, No MORE, No LESS... This JOKE of a Series will End Manana...Cleveland ENDS Atlanta Tonight... REED:hammert:
Speaking of Cleveland, REED's VERY Surprised to See Kyrie Suited Up, Considering they've WON the Games he's Missed...REED Would've just SAVED Dude for the Finals... REED:hammert:
REED is Certainly NO Dwight Howard Fan, but he Merely Swung Back @ Bogut in a "Get OFF Me" Sort of Way...Whereas, Horford Dropped the Fucking "People's Elbow" on Dellavadova... REED:hammert:
He's NOT as Irritating, yet Dellavadova has a "Danny Ainge" Way about Him...Rest Assured, Somebody's Going to "Sedale Threatt" his Ass, Before Looooooooooooooooong, if he Persists in Keeping Himself In the Middle of Dust-Ups... REED:ant:
Howard clearly backfisted Bogut, but with less success than JR Smith and the later got suspended 2 games. What he did was way worse than what Z-Bo did to Adams last playoffs, yet he gets a pass.
w/Out Question, You're Correct... Still, REED Thinks what Horford Did was CLEARLY Worse...Above All that, REED Doesn't Think the League Wants to CRIPPLE Houston Any Fuuuuuuuurther, Already Being DOWN 3-1, Heading Back to Oakland... If the NBA Suspended Howard, there'd LITERALLY Be NOfuckingREASON for Houston to Book a Flight...As Is, there Already AIN'T Much of a Reason to Do So.... REED:giggle:
Agree. Bogut also got a shot in on Dwight, before Dwight shot back. Horford misinterpreted Delladova as trying to take out his knees and in quite dramatic fashion, dropped an elbow on him. Stupid play by both guys, but Horford's just looked worse. Bogut is a very irritating player for other big men. For a guy who looks so big and slow, he has a way of getting his hands in just the right place at just the right time to disrupt things on the defensive end.
Dellavadova had the MISfortune of Being Arm Locked w/a Guy Roughly a Foot TALLER and Nearly 100lbs HEAVIER...Wasn't Much Else he Could've Done BUT Go to the Ground in that Instance... w/Out Crossing the Line (Yet), Bogut's Much CLOSER to Being "Dirty" than Dellavadova's Dared to Be, Thus Faaaaaaaaaaaar...You Can BANK on Bogut Getting into @ Least 1 "Altercation" w/an Opposing Big, EVERY Single Playoff Series...A COUPLE Times per Series, if they Go Deeeeeeeeeeep Enough... Dude's Also SNEAKY Athletic Though, as Evidenced by Not 1, but 2 1-Handed Alley-Oooops he's Flushed in the Houston Series... REED:hammert:
Who Gives a Fuck???....Uuuuum, Anybody Interested in Watching a Fan-Friendly Basketball Game, that's Who...Obviously, YOU Get Moist btwn the Legs Over Free-Throw Festivals, but that ISN'T the Case w/Most Hardcore Hoop Lovers, Sorry.... No Matter WHO it is, it's RARE that ANY Player Actually DESERVES to Shoot 15+ Free Throws in a Game, to the Degree James Harden Did in the 2014-2015 Season....Even when Jordan Went to the Line THAT Much, it was Viewed as "Superstar Treatment"...That's Been REED's Point from Jump, yet YOU Have Gotten Your Weak Ass, Rocket Loving Feelings Hurt Over the Fucking TRUTH... Finding a Pro-Harden Article is Comically DESPERATE on Your Part...Congratulations, You Found 1 Fucking Article that Agrees w/your Take on your Bearded Hero...Nevermind the 453 OTHER Write-Ups, Right???...Predictably, You Found a Favorable Piece and your Dick Got Hard, or HARDENED, as the Case May Be.... REED Can't Wait til your Team Gets Eliminated Tomorrow Night, Because Then, You'll Disappear as Usual, Before Resurfacing w/Free-Agency "Predictions" w/a Lame Ass 35% Accuracy Rate (@ Best)..."Clutch City" Isn't just the Name of an Upcoming Houston Rocket Documentary, It's Also the Name of the Anal Cavity you have that Rocket Themed Dildo TIGHTLY Shoved Up In... REED:baa:
It looked to me like he went after Horford's knee just like he went after Korver's ankle. You can't convince me that he didn't know what he's doing when he's at or around a guys knee then purposely leans/rolls his body against the other guy. It's not that he went to the ground, it's the extra roll at the end. Korver's having surgery on that ankle and fortunately Horford ecaped injury. You can see his knee start to buckle. Both of those were dirty plays. If someone rolled on LeBron or Curry like that you're looking at multiple game suspensions.
I'm starting to think the Cavs are going to be a handful for the Warriors, especially with a healthy Kyrie. The inefficient Love was holding them back. Lebron, Mozgov and Tristan easily make up for his rebounding, while just about every other scorer on the team is technically more efficient then he is (yes, even J.R. Smith). That's not even mentioning the defense. I know I may be jumping to conclusions based on a very gimpy Hawks line-up, but this will be no cakewalk for Golden State, best team out of the West or not.
Indeed. It won't surprise me at all if Cavs win it all. Afterall, you need someone who can disrupt Bron's game like the Spurs' Leonard. The Warriors can't rely on Green and Iggy, since Bron never had any problem with them. The Cavs are playing a gritty kind of basketball, they're defending and going hard after rebounds. They stand in a good position with Kyrie back to at least 90%.
