    it's amazing that despite being tutored by quite possibly one of the best post players in history Howard still has no repertoire. It just testifies to the work ethic. And it shows he's not interested in getting better. I still laugh at his comments regarding what Kobe said about teaching him to be a winner, that he was already a winner and that he didn't need anybody to show him. I'm sorry, a winner at what exactly? Since going to Houston (Btw I agree, thank you Houstin) he and the other kids can barely make any noise in the playoffs. At this point he can barely be considered a sidekick.

    Yeah, that was freaking great realdeal. Put a big smile on my face with the Beard and Clown call outs on their games and lack of "winner" between the ears.

    James Harden complaining about "scratches".

    Exhibit A:


    Exhibit B:


    He actually got the foul call in the second one.

    Damn, that's horrible. In the second clip, he actually hooked CP3, then flopped. And got the call.

    Howard was also offended when Nash wanted to help him with his free throw inadequacies. Like the saying goes "You can't teach stupid!" I once compared him to a rich man's Kevin Willis. Ugh...he's not even the worker or competitor the latter was. Oh and whatever happened to Smith? You know, the New Age, point power forward?

    these need to go viral. the more the public sees it, the greater the league's shame. as I said in another thread, the nba has shown it doesn't care about fairness, but it certainly cares about image. garbage like this could finally shut the door on "harden the superstar".

    Rockets shouldn't had made it out the first round... They got lucky and got a Dallas team who's locker room was in chaos.

    yeah, parsons was the mavs' best player post-asb, and they were in all of those losses. had Houston been forced to play any of the west's big dogs (SA, gs, lac, mem) in the first round, they'd have lost there. had cp not been injured, this would have been a laugher sweep instead of a 6 game series, which will (falsely) look to have been competitive.

    Professional athletes have pride...they have egos...to be embarrassed by not competing is unacceptable. Yeah, but these are the Rockets we are talking about. True...

    I expect them to go nuts from three and romp from start to finish. I expect harden to have his one good game per playoff series tonight, too.

    I then expect the clips to end it the next game. Houston gets to save some face, which is all they really care about down there.

    Looks like you'll be right.

    Outside Chris Paul, Clippers just look very lackluster this game.

    Edit: Blake Griffin is also playing well.

    Austin Rivers went down on that drive to end the 3rd quarter. He's wincing in pain and not getting up.
