The Truth
An MVP blew a 3-1 lead with 2 home games doing dumb ass shyt in the waning minutes of the series. What's wrong with the analogy?
There were many other variables involved for the END of that series as well as a snitching ass nikka on the opposite team and the refs changing the way they called the games

But thats over and done with. Harden has done this MULTIPLE times and tonight literally did not show up in a series clinching game


This was nothing alike. It was more you trying to take a shot at Curry. And regardless of all the "3-1" and other bullshyt geared to extending the series, they still competed as well as Curry. Harden did the exact opposite of competed

Sounds funny and all, but let's be real here...

Between his shoe deal and NBA contracts, isn't Harden getting pretty much half of a billion guaranteed during his career? Who the hell would risk that to point-shave in Game 6 of the Western Conference second round; what would even be the initial offer you'd have to give him to have that type of conversation?

Nah, y'all are really just underestimating his heart (or lack of it). The moment was too big for him, and he didn't show up. It's not like he doesn't have a consistent history of this.


Crazy thing is I'm not sure the betting markets on NBA playoff games are even worth it for the bettor after the athlete gets their cut.

It's not the Super Bowl where Billy Walters can get down 3.5 million on the Saints to beat the Colts.........The markets on an NBA playoff game won't allow you to bet anywhere close to what you can get down on the Super Bowl. It has to be worth it for the athlete who's agreeing to the fix and the bettor.

I've met Sheep (the guy who fixed those NBA games with Donaghy), he was fixing NBA regular season games and giving the ref like 5,000 a game or something silly. That's small potatoes for what you'd have to pay an athlete.

Wasn't he playing like complete garbage when the Josh Smith saved the Rockets against the Clips? Didn't he shyt the bed against the Warriors in the WCF that year? Wasn't he ghost against the Heat in the Finals? I mean, it ain't THAT shocking :manny:

Point shaving is when you deliberately try not to cover the spread but actually win the game.

Losing by 39 fukkin points at home is not point shaving :smh:
