    SAS is elite at not fouling ( I think , have not checked the numbers again) .

    As for Harden , he has made more FTs than FGs in his ENTIRE career regular season and playoffs , there is even no need to argue on the FTs matter imo
    Find me another 25+ pts scorer who "achieved" the same thing in NBA history and we'll start arguing .

    I highly doubt there is another one

    Good video . I disagree with the " it started in Houston" argument though .

    By instance , I remember all of us being in disbelief at the 06 Wade like calls he kept getting in the playoffs against us in the 2012 WCSF

    He'd average 14.5 ppg? He did more than that off the bench before god came him and anointed him a super, made. ultra star.

    Bulls not even putting up a fight. I think Washington might steal two games vs the LeChamps, but I have no delusions that they can actually win the series.

    My man, Bradley. Hook em. So him, TT, Tucker, KD and LA still representing the burnt orange and white. Myles Turner is out, of course.

    Wade, 2 points. Yikes!

    Bulls went up 2-0 and then just collapsed without Rondo running the show. Got to wonder how available Butler is.

    Or most people don't like Harden. I don't like him. Before Pop got on insulting soap box against anyone who voted for Trump, I would root for them over SA, even with a** behavior and sitting players (all of course after he had two titles under his belt. Check interviews before 2004, he didn't act like that all. Tangent/) But when someone says things like he'd average 14 ppg all the unfair ref help, I'm going to say something.

    I know he's dirty and kind of a flopper but I do feel bad for Paul. He's a big time player, who steps it up the playoff and he's stuck with Charmin Blake, no offense DJ, no SF ever and most often crap bench. He needs to leave. 27, 10, 5 and 2. Shooting 53, 42 and 91.

    No excuses. Kobe could have taken that same team to at least the WCF. So could LeBron and I hate him.

    Has anybody said the Kobe or James are on his level. We're comparing to of the top 10 players of all time to someone probably in the 30 or so range?

    Still not good enough. He's had good enough teams to get past the 2nd round. That he's never done it says to me that it's not just bad luck or not having good enough teammates, but that he's a factor as well.

    yeah, that's probably going too far. 20ppg is my guess. occasional all star appearances. bad teams.

    and i agree on paul. i'm not sure his lack of playoff success is entirely fair. i suppose you can blame his style of play for relegating teammates to mere finishers (no other playmakers allowed). but harden's making that work in houston. paul's recent teams have had poorly timed injuries, too.

    anyway, i feel very differently about paul than harden, in that paul would be a superstar, hof player with or without favorable officiating. he's crazy skilled (way more than harden, who barely even has a right hand), crazy competitive, plays hard all the time, and is super smart.

    and now i'm mad about the veto again.

    8 and 11. Only 31. Deke did better at 35. As a backup. And he wasn't supposed to be an offensive threat.

    As most of us predicted, the decline is not going to be pretty.

    His feelings are hurt at every stop he's ever been at.

    I wonder if he'll ever realize there is a common denominator...
