    Don't think Darius is a bad player, but Cavs wouldn't have gotten this far with Garland.

    The Pistons must be one of those try-hard teams that we have almost every season. They overcome talent deficiencies through hard work and usually with a new coach. But once their opponents are playing hard too, they lose. We've had those teams here, unfortunately.

    Good luck to the Cavs. To me, they are the more likable team between them and the Knicks.

    Why would you? If it wasn't for his teammates, based on his numbers tonight you would have @Asian Sensation ragging on him harder tonight lol. I'm sure he is still going to go after him, but Harden had a terrible game tonight, at least they won lol.

    they might not even beat the Raptors

    Garland is too weak and frail for physical teams like the Raptors and Pistons and is a bigger liability on defense than Harden…Harden at least has strength and quick hands, and Garland is like Reed Sheppard if he never got any blocks or steals

    yeah i just looked at his stats. didnt know they were that bad? dude was a +31 shooting 2-10 though. Harden has always wanted to be the 3rd scorer again. Harden as THE guy (or 2nd guy) would have failed miserably.

    The Lakers have a similar decision with Reaves. Rationality has to win out in the NBA one day, right? Actually, both those teams can overpay their players and trade them with each other.

    he’s the last American MVP. 2018. USA should be supporting him.

    this just got me thinking

    Tell me why Harden was the only MVP who had to accept his at some lame ass awards show after the season instead of during the playoffs in front of the home crowd with all the fans cheering him on and getting to witness that moment?

    we can’t have anything nice as Rockets fans
