  I feel bad for the guy. He was given two of the most overrated players in the NBA and expected to make it work.

  Very true. Maybe if he had Howard from 08/09 season.
  
  Also just had the lol at hardens last 10 games again. That fg% is pathetic. Number of times lbj has shot that poorly over a 10 game span? ZERO

  Howard is probably the most overrated player in the NBA right behind D.Rose. Harden is a great 6th man off the bench but it's clear he doesn't have what it takes to be the lead man on an NBA team.

From my perspective (not following the rockets at all other than lol at Harden's box score [Last 10 games .381 FG% lmao]) seems reactionary to me. But then I remember watching Mr. Potato Head coach the Cavs and he was a COY and an obvious buffoon. Be interesting to see how the Rockets respond and who they get to replace him.

  IMO, they won in spite of his coaching abilities, not because of them. Dating back to his time in Minnesota, he is just not a very good coach

  Harden has 8 made FG tonight as they head to OT, but has 36 points. 8/24 FG
• Ironman92

  

  RW is without Durant and goes 43/9/8.....just crazy stat filler (and shot way over 50%)
• Commander of Awesome

  

  DeRozan, dunk of the yr?

  Dion Waiters has now missed more layups (14) than he's made this season (13)
• Midstate01

  

  Dion is the gift that keeps giving.
  
  Heard Thibbs was a guy Houston may bring in. I couldn't help but think how mad he will constantly be at harden for his lack of even trying on defense.
• gport_tennis

  The whole Houston Rockets team effort has been down this year, I think Thibs would be a great addition to that Roster as a head coach. Their overall team and individual defense would improve drastically.

  This warriors would beat the 95-96 bulls talk has me so annoyed. Most because I see it on twitter being voted on and it's mostly kids. I feel bad for them that they'll never have seen a team like the bulls. People don't realize they dominated a team over and over in Utah that has two top 50 players of all time. A bulls warriors match up is such a mismatch.
• Midstate01

  

  Hell I don't think the Warriors would beat the heat the 2nd year lbj was down there.
• sleeper

  

  Warriors wouldn't even beat the 2015 Cavs if Irving or Love were healthy.

  Wouldn't have beaten the Cavs last yr if it weren't for the injuries. Hell if the refs didn't FUCK us game 1, we go up 3-0 on em. Not confident they would have beaten the Grizz if Conley hadn't gone done either.
  
  Living in the bay area, I've caught most of the GSW games, it's insane how no teams attack him on the offensive side. He sucks at defense and is a little guy. Bully him on the offensive end, hope he racks up some fouls and guard him the second he hits halfcourt. The way he's playing/shooting, that's about all you can hope to do. The Clipps did this last night for 3 qts, then didn't. Made no sense. Such mentally weak pussies.
  
  Then you have Green guarding Griffin solo in the 4th, Blake is supposed to be a top 10 player in this league,yet allowed a 6'7" guy to take him out of the guy. Just pathetic.

  I take it you didn't watch any of the series. Anyway, this post is funny coming from the guy who thinks the tigers are the greatest baseball team alive (last place in the division and never won a WS title despite bragging about previous division titles LOL), matt stafford is a good QB (LOL), calvin johnson is still a top 5 WR, and says stupid shit like this:

I understand the situation is much greater but still he did not seem comfortable at all in such a jacked up environment while both Love and Irving did

  Classyposter58;1671066 wrote:Lebron equals Pujols after the trade to the Angels. He just seems to have gotten caught up in all the hoopla and doesn't seem to have that constant elite presence anymore. He just does not look good at all and may not be elite anymore

  Classyposter58;1671085 wrote:Seriously he looks terrible so far. I've never watched him and thought man he looks bad, yet early on he's played pretty poorly. Like last night was the type of game you expect him to take over the game as he has hundreds of times before, and he was unable to score a point in the second half? He just hasn't been explosive this year which really raises eyebrows. Bottom line is he's got 11 years under his belt and may be on the downside of his career, which isn't bad considering Pujols this season had 23 and 105 for the Angels this year

  I am surprised you are out of hiding with how shitty the tigers and lions are. I guess as long as the Pistons flirt with the 7-8 seed you will be around to provide us some lulz with your stupidity.

  Looks to be (cause I ain't fucking watching) one of the more competitive games of the night. Okafor and Wiggins going at it. I look for TWolves to take the last 6 min and keep 76ers winless.
• Ironman92

  

  Tied with just over a minute...Wiggins carrying Wolves
• Ironman92

  

  Martin seals the win for Wolves....76ers will get 12 wins on the year.
• friendfromlowry

  I bet Ben Simmons can't wait to play for this shitshow next year.
• Ironman92

  

  TWolves with some young guys on the team. Garnett and Andre Miller were both in the NBA in the 1990's and Tayshaun Prince nearing in on 1,000 games....spring chicken Kevin Martin in there also
