I root for Harden to miss every shot and turnover the ball every possession in the hopes I won't have to see his ugly game any more this summer. Vain hopes, I know. But drat do I not like watching that man play.

Come on you slap-dick guards. Cousins made a great move to get open and you threw a terrible pass. As well as completely blew an easy oop for him, too, with a pass multiple feet off target when you were only a couple feet away from him.

USA basketball is terrible and I hope Coach K retires and someone with modern culture gets the job. When I think basketball I think military and discipline and white guys from the 50s.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Yeah, wouldn't surprise me if he made it. Can't possibly play him in the last 5 minutes but they'd want Davis in at that time, anyhow.

James Harden :negative:

If PR is smart, they will go after Harden every chance they can. This will most likely have a dual effect of him running down the court and chunking up a shot early in the clock, without making a pass. They can just send a guy to challenge Harden, and have everyone else box out for the rebound.
