Don't know why I expected anything less from San Antonio

 

[cruzg24]

Can we talk a little bit more about how awesome the Spurs are? I think they deserve some mentioning.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

No let's just let them fly under the radar.

So Mexi isn't here to talk about how James Harden has sucked this series? Figures...

 

[Mexi]

he outscored the entire laker bench on a bad night lol

nothing to get worked up about. he's still a stud

 

[Mexi]

so anyways, Pau
who will trade for him?!

I WANT RUMORS

 

[RipCity32]

Kevin Durant is a baddddddd dude.

 

[RipCity32]

Man, I really hope the Heat do advance. Seeing a OKC/SA vs. BOS/IND would be such a boring ass Finals.

He's sucked every game this series...

And you act like outscoring the Lakers bench is an accomplishment, they have to have the worst bench in the league.

man just because you like olldschool kind of basketball doesnt mean a fast uptempo team isnt good to watch.

Harden doesn't play good enough defense to say "he's still scored blah blah so he had a good game." Harden is only shooting 39% in the playoffs and 30% in this series. Plus he's only averaging 1.8 assists compared to his 3.7 during the regular season.

He has to step it up.

 

[Pugz]

didnt harden struggle last playoffs too?

 

[jonathanlambert33]

47.5% from the field, 13.0 points, 3.6 assists, 5.4 rebounds. Not bad, can't judge defense though.

That's what people don't get, he's a terrible defender.

 

[Pugz]

yea guess i was wrong lol.

 

[elcheato]

Are we really criticizing James Harden because of 3 bad games instead of his 60 game sample size?

Have you not seen Kobe's numbers when Harden has been guarding him?

Lol, have you not watched Hardens defense since he came into the league?

For the record though, I go back and watch and I see Harden not getting through screens fast enough, not being able to stay with Kobe off the dribble, but Kobe not being able to convert open looks or finish at the rim. Perfect example, with about 17 seconds left in the first half Kobe got past Harden off the dribble but the OKC bigs are doing a good job rotating to the rim and contesting shots.

I have no interest watching the Thunder or Spurs wipe the floor with the Celtics or Pacers, so to answer your question; no.
The Heat with Bosh who should be back by then, would make the Finals actually worth watching.
