That gif with Bron is seriously one of the most ridiculous things I've seen in a while in a basketball game.

It's hilarious as well... Bron is just looking at the ref like a kid would look at his moms when their sibling is doing some dumb shyt that's going to get them both into trouble. Bron is in the middle of a play and he's not even looking at Harden, he's looking directly at the ref like, "look man, this dude grabbing my arm... he's GRABBING my ARM!!! :damn:"

Even more funny is the ref just letting that shyt slide. He was probably still trying to process what he was witnessing right there.

:dead:

They wouldn't have. Not at his asking price. Not with one ball to share between 3 perimeter players who need the ball in their hands. Not with a need to resign their power forward and find a functional center. Not with the need for better perimeter defense. I will never, ever understand how this has been difficult to grasp.
The keyboard punching I've done to reiterate this is:mjcry:

Harden played most of his minutes with the second unit. I hate the idea that they couldn't co-exist.. Durant isn't a ball-dominant player and Harden played very well off-ball. The reason they even made it to the finals in 2012 was because of Harden's play off the bench, they've never been able to recover that spark off the bench. I can't really argue with the rest of your points but the Harden trade was the result of an ill-advised trade for Perkins.

I remember the game live. Ref just looked at Harden like "nikka do I look stupid :childplease:" and didn't call shyt.


funniest one was last year in the playoffs against the blazers, Harden had the ball with the game on the line. The Blazers players made him pick up his dribble then backed like 2 feet away from him because they knew he would miss :dead:

On the previous play I recall him jumping on a guys back to get the foul, didn't even look to score. I should look for these plays :mjlol:

I have a hard time buying that a team will be anything other then a first/second round exit with him as your go to man.

Did Harden fukk you nikka's bytches or something? :mad:

Harden is still a great player. He's lacking confidence due to terrible coaching. Once we rectify that issue we'll be back.

I wouldn't mind trading Howard for another big man and a better powerforward

You'd keep harden over howard? Just because of age?

Blake Griffin is better than the Rockets whole front court!

No he isn't. Please go sit your in the moment ass down. The Rockets collapse is simply a failure of coaching. Doc is throwing a variety of offensive strategies at Mchale and he's getting outmatched. Expect a far tougher series next round, once you guys face a better coached team.

How is saying Blake is better than Houston's frontcourt "in the moment"? He's been better than everybody in your frontcourt for at least two seasons. You obviously wouldn't know that because you've probably only watched a handful of Clippers games since he was drafted.
