Only Chris Paul can let the ball roll for a full minute before picking it up and starting the play.

This is an instant classic like Russ taking 3-4 steps before dribbling couple seasons back

There are few players I love to see fail more than James Harden. Maybe Russ and Lebron, but Harden is right there with them.

He’s been very good this year, don’t think it’s crazy. Probably doesn’t do enough on the stat sheet though. He doesn’t rebound or get assists. He is having his most efficient season though scoring. 18 points on a .592 TS% West is too deep though I think. He’s putting up 18/4/2. He has doubled his WS/48 career high and is having his first positive BPM season of his career, so props to him, he’s not a total bust anymore.

Look at this list. So many good rookies this year.


The Brandon Boston stuff is scary. He was a top 5 high school guy in the class and was awful at Kentucky. Dropped to the 2nd round but is now flashing why he was a top 5 guy. If he turns into the player people thought he was in high school, Clippers got a major steal.

Think being balanced is ideal for the playoffs. This tells me suns, warriors and bucks are the best 3 teams. Jazz will score, but think they’ll have even more trouble defending in the playoffs.

I've watched a bunch of Nets games this year. Harden often looks like he's sleepwalking through games. Aside from the erosion of his game and body, he's just playing lazy.

Now I get where you were coming from a few weeks back when we were discussing Harden in our fantasy league. He doesn't look good while watching the games, but the numbers are still really good for fantasy.

The league I have him in counts turnovers. He's averaging 5 a game.

Playing in a league that counts turnovers was your first mistake.

1st Team All-Foul

He gets away with so much fouling based on his reputation and strategy that the officials aren't going to call everything they should.

There was also that play earlier in the season against Memphis maybe? Where he was pressured and knocked the ball to the back court, and he made a half assed effort to pick it up but didn’t and I think Bane did and went in for an uncontested dunk.

Yes I remember…I’m picturing it as Saddiq Bey, but it might’ve been Bane..that would also fit.

You are probably right. I just remember the play. Wasn’t sure who it was really.
