I loathe SGA even more than Embiid

He's what you get when you inject prime foul hunting James Harden into a child's inflatable punching clown

I love the irony of a Celtic whining about not getting enough calls

Ha yes I had the same reaction and was surprised

Brown put down the groundwork and stuck with it. KAT slow learner, uhm adjuster

Playoff OG is the OG

Harden is washed up, the fact that they traded a young talented garland for a annual playoff bricklayer who plays zero defense and is a old man… Cleveland absolutely blew that trade they are now going to have to rebuild…

On a side note the Knicks are playing better than both the pistons and cavs … the cavs are not very good … they are getting easy looks and just brick after brick. Harden went 3/13 and not because he wasn’t open.

The GM for Cleveland should be fired ! That was a terrible trade in my opinion.

Harden is a career loser.

I just watched the end of their game and boy oh boy Harden was awful, just terrible. All I could think was the Cavs would be better by subtraction.

Harden's fatal flaw is he never really gave a damn about winning. His casualness at the end of this game was world class toxicity on display.

I can't imagine how pissed off that Cavs locker room is right now.

Makes me remember every time in the past when a Knicks fan suggested we get Harden and I would go oh no you don't want that, trust me, he's Shiva, the Destroyer of Teams.

I was thinking about this while watching PG chew out Grimes on the sideline at the end of the game. After you are on your 4th team as a max guy, how much do you really care about winning a ring? You know you aren't as good as you used to be but if you keep putting up the numbers you can probably squeeze a few more hundred million from some idiot owner. It's no coincidence that Kawhi has his best season in years going into the last year of his contract or that Paul George played 74 games the season before he hit free agency (he's avg 50 games over the past 7).

Cavs are Posers

OKC is really unlikeable! Even Chet Holmgren flops like crazy and it's embarrassing! I'm surprised Adam Silver will choose them to be his preferred team.

Cleveland cannot play or win on the road. They are different at home and I expect they will play a lot better. Hats off to Tobias Harris. He's been playing like a solid and reliable second go-to guy. Pistons will be tough to beat if he keeps this up!

Trading for Harden......

They are over the apron. THe second one!
Garland has been unreliable and this was the season for them.
Harden is supposed to be the 3rd best player on this team.

1. Mobley
2. Donovan Mitchel
3. Harden

This was the year Mobley who is being paid big boy money now. He is now 24 and looks rail thin. Might not be his "fault" but it is.
Im not going to break it down but this team was planned this way. Donovan mitch is a musclular kid and a hell of a player. He is 6-1. Looks and plays bigger and perhaps we all think he he "chokes" but again. Good reminder about small guys not being the best player on a championship team.

Clev had two small guys with Garland. Harden is old and does not have great playoff history. That does not mean all the games were bad. They were not. Its just that he never showed up as the playoff alpha.
Not sure why anyone is suprised about Donovan. He is a hell of a player and gets you there, but if you look at the range of difficulty of the shots he took down the stretch it was delusional. Detroit needs more props here. This t eam is full of long athletic guys adn the degree of difficulty goes up on Mitchell/Harden to come from behind.

I know we all get to "But Brunson little too!" True, and we have not gotten there have we? Great as he has been, we have not gotton to finals! As others here have said and in media whom we all love to hate has also said that KAT need to be the guy. For that matter OG has been right there also excelling!!! When that happens JB gets to do his thing and close it out.

Detroit? Props to Duncan Robinson and Tobias Harris! They set the table for Cade who has been brilliant as a closer.
Yes, Clev has sucked. YEs, Harden is a wonderful Scapegoat. Fans hate the old guys!

1. Lebum
2. Durant
3. Harden

Westbrook is off the list given his decline and low salary. Steph Curry is still getitng it done but injury prone as he ages and has a lot of good will credits to burn before he gets any shit.

IM not here to defend Harden. Its a trade that despite a good run by Clev with him in the regular season is not looking too good now but its a trade they had to make to get a chance. Mobley is not getting it done leaving Donovan and Harden vulnerable.
