  1. OKC is probably still going to win this series, but tonight is why the notion of anyone other than Jokic as the real MVP is highly suspect. And that's not a knock against SGA. Jokic is just on another planet when it comes to putting a team on his back. Dude's bringing it for 48 minutes.
  2. Old Russ would have gone straight to the basket for a flailing, "maybe they'll call a foul" layup attempt.
  3. Man, if Denver could just get anything from MPJ or a bench player not named Russ, this could be a real series.
  4. To be ever-so-slightly fair to Harden, it looks like something in the realm of a third of those low FGM games are from his time in OKC, coming off the bench on a team making annual deep playoff runs. Obviously, LeBron, Steph, and KD were never bench players, nor were they immediately playing playoff basketball as rookies and young players.
  5. To this point, would you rather be remembered as one of the greatest offensive players in league history...but quite possibly the biggest choke artist in professional sports* with a weakness for the strip club lunch menu? Or, as a super flawed dude who also never won anything (other than an MVP) but played his ass off--good or bad--every time he touched the court who was generally beloved by teammates? It's tough. *Passing along some numbers that popped up on my socials: Career playoff games with under 4 FG made: Harden - 35 LeBron - 5 Steph - 3 KD - 2 Career playoff games with under 5 FG made: Harden - 55 LeBron - 9 Steph - 8 KD - 4 Career playoff games with as many turnovers as FGM: Harden - 42 LeBron - 17 Steph - 13 KD - 7 jesus christo
  6. Better player, I agree, it's still easily Harden. But whose career and legacy I'd prefer?
  7. Better career: Harden or Russ? I think I lean Russ. Never thought I'd say that 3, 4, 5 years ago.
  8. His patience has to be wearing thin. You can argue that Max drove a near perfect weekend*, and he finished out of the points in the Sprint because of Red Bull's fuck up, and off the podium after a masterful pole. *his one "error" was not letting Lando through easier, knowing it was inevitable. While great television, it allowed Mercedes to catch up to him enough where something like a virtual safety car could--and did--fuck him over.
  9. Yeah, that was rushed as fuck and felt out of place (along with the "I'm pregnant, now let's fuck" moment). It went from "I guess I do like girls more" to "we're going to spend the rest of our lives together raising a family" in like 3 seconds. I imagine the game gives that relationship more time to breath--and probably a few more near death encounters to experience.
  10. ...for about 250 prisoners.
  11. On paper, Minnesota is a pretty good matchup for Golden State. While Minnesota is good on defense, they aren't going to be nearly as physical as Houston, especially when it comes to guarding Steph. I doubt they ask ANT to chase him for any significant length of time. After the past two weeks, Steph is going to be able to breath a little. Draymond sure as shit isn't intimidated by Gobert, and they're going to put Rudy in so many actions 30 feet from the basket. BUT Minnesota is so hot right now and oozing confidence. If Randle, McDaniels, and Reid shoot like they have been, Golden State just doesn't have the offense to keep up. Realistically, it's probably simple: if Ant is consistently the best player on the court, Minnesota should win pretty comfortably. If Steph can pull out another 3-4 transcendent performances, it's going to be a battle.
  12. It's one thing to not like the show anymore without Joel--to each his own, that's fine--but imagine being so fucking miserable and easily triggered that it's a "shameful push of gender politics" because two girls happen to like each other on TV.
  13. Nice series, Houston. Fuck you, Dillon Brooks.
  14. Ok, I'm just reading between the lines here. He wants Alcatraz to be reopened, and he wants more American movies. Someone call Nic Cage; the President wants to watch The Rock 2. Maybe the first time I've ever been eye to eye with Trump.
  15. Game 7 nerves for Houston early. This series has got to be the most zone defense I've ever seen in the NBA Playoffs. Just daring dudes not named Curry or Van Vleet to shoot.
  16. Huge for Piastri to get past Kimi before giving Max a chance to create a gap.
  17. That's insane. But not remotely surprising. When Harden doesn't have it early (which is quite often in the playoffs), he somehow thinks that quietly going 2-9 or 2-11 is somehow less embarrassing than going 5-23. The latter at least shows some pride and fight.
  18. Now, now, I think we're all just jealous that our father's never funded our multi-billion dollar hobbies. I'll never forgive my dad for not building me a spaceship to take to the moon.
  19. I wonder if the penalty would have been more substantial had Red Bull torpedoed someone else's race on a Sunday, rather than a Sprint. Normally, 10 seconds for the guys running near the front is just 2-3 positions for races that don't finish behind a safety car.
  20. The James Harden 2-11 patented game search is still on!
  21. Max having 3 poles this season in, unequivocally, a lesser car is stupid. He's already one of the best ever.
