You can see FunBunch throwing in a "bro" and LE throwing in a "rust is real", it was pretty obvious we were tossing out Boom comments. My boom comment was that you'd say they were conserving energy for the playoffs, which you did.

Accurately predicting Boom's posts...again. Not that I should take credit for it, it's not exactly a tough thing to do, Bubba.

Considering I said they were conserving energy months before you posted that all you were doing was repeating what you had read. Incorrectly at that. So no you weren't even close to predicting my post.

HOU, the conserving energy.

Groundbreaking, ahead of the curve stuff by HOU!!!!

Because no other team in the league conserves energy, it's that HOU is the only one doing it!!!

Way too much talk about the worst Western Conference 8 seed in a decade.

Did I say no one else did it? No. You put words I didn't say in my mouth much better than you try to predict my next post.

So is HOU doing it more than anyone else?

You did say it as a reason why they got the 8th seed, so either no one else is doing it or HOU is doing it more than others if you're using it as a reason.

Nevermind Harden leads the league in minutes...

HOU didn't give a shite early in the season and lost to teams that weren't conserving energy, teams that had no shot at the playoffs. So yea safe to say they cared less than other teams their transition D being last shows that considering transition D is about effort. Maybe you shouldn't try to argue against teams you don't even watch. Do you see me jumping in MLB threads or NHL thread and acting like I know what I'm talking about. HOly smokes have a little self respect.

So if you were building an NBA team, would you take Harden over Kawhi? Would you take Harden over Curry? I want to see how far you will take this troll job.

Yes give me the guy that puts the ball in the basket.

god no Curry has separated himself from the pack this season. Harden is elite for today's NBA. Curry is on the verge of being an all time Elite.

I will say this boom. You are true to your team. I can approximate this. This Houston team is kinda hot. They can win a game in this series . Maybe two. That would be impressive. Howard has to show up in beast mode for EVERY game. Not sure how much it will help.

I understand Harden puts up really good numbers but a lot of that is due to volume and some bad things come with it like his turnovers, he doesn't play defense well at least consistently, and from my perspective is not a very effective leader or locker room guy. Would not have him in top 10 in people i'd start my team with today. I understand you will feel different, just my opinion.

Harden won't finish this season as a top 15 NBA player. Kawhi will finish #2 in the MVP behind Curry. But hey, to each their own.

Harden gets as much or more hate than any other player in the league so I don't expect other people to share my viewpoint, ESPECIALLY people who only watch Sportscenter highlights and not the games..bot saying you do or dont actually watch any of the games.

Consider the gap between Harden and Kawhi offensively compared to the gap between Kawhi and Harden defensively.

Yet he has a higher VORP than Leonard. Value over replacement player. Give me the guy that has more value..that's Harden. Those awards are driven by narratives and tbh Harden doesn't deserve those awards this year bc he half assed it at the beginning of the season.

Since the break he's averaging something like 30/9/7 on 52% shooting. Had he done that all year he'd be 1st team, in the MVP hunt, etc..all that stuff.

Luckily we have a stat called VORP that does that for us, and harden is ahead...And it's not even his best season. This IS Leonards best season.
