2024 NBA Season

And also the calls on the fouls were too soft, one thing that trigger the player not to play hard defense.

Fouls are fouls. Soft fouls only matter when the games are last minute and if the score is crucial. Refs most likely don't call a foul in a soft foul if the game is about to end.

Yeah. Recently most points of James Harden came from FT shooting. For me his like not playing hard, he's just playing smart.

Getting foul most of the time is playing hard, you sacrifice your body to get a call, I think that's playing hard but he did it in a smart way.
James harden is also a good shooter outside, so we cannot underestimate his offense as both inside and outside he can shoot.

I won't be surprise if he will become the MVP this season again, of course PG is remarkable too.

As a good player then we can expect versatility no matter what position he would shoot up the ball either outside or inside it doesnt matter and i do completely
agree with soft fouls which arent called on crucial times.

For MVP candidate i do consider Harden would be on the list.

The organization knows what to do, calls are not consistent in the NBA, that's why we see sometimes that players protesting, of course
they are not perfect or maybe some games are rigged. Harden is good in regular season but have you noticed how he played during the playoffs, he mostly struggle and if not because of Chris Paul in the last off season, they would not reach the West Finals.

Yes, i have noticed it too when it comes of his performance on regular season which you can really say that it is outstanding and i agree about that struggle on playoffs. He do get some
star sparks on regular but when it comes to playoffs those are fading down.

Well, soft foul calls always matter, it would be a pain in ass if you get too many of those in the early quarter, then probably down the stretch you'd be careful not to foul anyone driving the lane or else you'll be sent to the bench with 6 fouls. I get it how James Harden plays his offensive strategy, but sometimes its just not really impressive at all, and I didint say he's not good, of course he is. IMO, foul baits should be an offensive foul too, just like hitting a defenders steady arms deliberately in the process of attempting a field goal.

And if he will continue to do that, he will never win a championship in his NBA career.
Harden has made his style bring success to him but his defense is needed during the playoffs, if this guy will be doubled
every time he holds the ball, I don't think he can continue with his high scoring performance.

In playoffs teams adjust every game, and the secret why the warriors are dominating the NBA is because
they have scorers in the floor and if they can stopped harden, it would be an easy job for them to win against the Rockets.
I guess we will see them again in the west finals this season, no good team in the west so far that could beat the Rockets except the warriors.

Smart players lead the game in control, he's good performing his task and with that, the team trust him every dying minutes of the game will be for him,
and most likely he will bring something to entertain the fans, Harden loves playing with mindset and he recognize right away, that's how he collect those
calls from the ref.

Soft call trigger when the actors knows how to fish for it, one of those quality that Harden have inside the court.

[prtty2gal2]

Comparisons started. Kobe was 34 when he got his worse injury and couldn't give Lakers his best after that, Lebron is 34 and had his longest injury this season as well. Kobe was the leader of a 28-29 Lakers team before he got injured and used all of his power to bring them to playoffs that season (his last real season) before he got injured and basically never become the same player again.

Lebron is the leader of a 28-29 Lakers team right now on a tough west team with a tough schedule. Lets see if Lebron will carry this team to playoffs no matter what like Kobe did or will he give in and just have an early season for the first time ever in his whole career, I do not recall Lebron EVER missing playoffs, if that happens it would be super damaging to his GOAT discussions.

Yeah. He is playing smart and sometimes it gets boring to watch when he plays like that.
Too sensitive for just a small bump.
You could always see how he reacts even if there is no contact. Just the mere getting near him will make it look like there is a foul.
When I am watching him and he keeps on doing that, I turn off my television and just watch other games in Youtube.
I just dont like it when refs are buying those kind of acts and mostly they do.

Harden's next life will be a Hollywood actor.

There has never been any real GOAT discussions to begin with. Bron has SIX losses in the finals and three titles, two of which came with luck, let me be even more specific with extreme luck (Kawhi missed two free-throws in a row and then Ray Allen hit the infamous 3 pointer), also the Draymond Green suspension in '16. On the other hand, Jordan is unblemished in the finals 6/6.

I do not recall Lebron EVER missing playoffs

I do not recall Bron ever playing in the western conference before. lol


The only thing worth discussing now is when will Luke Walton be fired by the Lakers? There's been rumors and speculations for more than three months and since Pels didn't bend over and give AD, you can't keep the passive-aggressive drama queen unhappy forever.

Another Lebron hater that lurking in the thread because of signature campaign requirements. Lebron won by LUCK? Do your assignment. Check Lebron stats since playoffs to finals on that 2 luck champion. Check the score he made at the last minutes of that final games. Stats are useless if Ray Allen didnt hit that 3 and Green didn't suspend? The reason for those who cant move on and didnt accept the fact that Lebron made some great efforts to win those champs.

Another Hero Member who is just a passerby in the NBA thread. Whew. Post your bounty post somewhere.

Seems like a common refrain of yours, mr. butthurt bandwagoner. lol

Image if LeBron was playing in the western conference all along, he would have made the finals once or twice. The goat my ass.

Dont change the topic NBA idiot. You just saw the 2 free throws of Kawhi and the three point shot by Allen. Common reason by haters why Lebron got the 2 title. You didnt saw the effort made by Lebron in that final minutes. Imagine if Lebron playing in the West? That is not what we talk about here. Dont force yourself to post in a gambling thread where you dont have any knowledge just to reached your 5 post quota in gambling discussion.

[morvillz7z]

You didnt saw the effort made by Lebron in that final minutes.

No, I didn't...remember him only bricking that 3 in the end. That's common for choke artists though.

I understand it's tough for LeBron fanboys being outside the playoffs for the first time. Chill and change your tampons.

Bonus:

Why does LeBron only eat boneless buffalo wings?
 Because he has a tendency to choke.

PS. Oh fuck, I've exceeded my 5 posts quota in gambling. smh

[rdbase]

Warriors win again last night?
They havent had their usual blow out games and only won by 2 points against miami the other night and 7 points versus utah yesterday.
Can portland finally put an end to their winning streak tonight.
Somebody has got to beat them soon. Because it is just getting ridiculous.

How can I chill if you are saying bullshit things here . Lets quote your post:

Haha I think you just watched the replay and just go with the flow with the haters. Dont post non sense post here NBA idiot. Clearly you dont know what happened to the whole game and just remember the missed 3 points attempts by Lebron. You cant even explained clearly how it became luck. Poor high rank posting in NBA thread just to make him look he knows NBA.

[morvillz7z]

Haha I think you just watched the replay and just go with the flow with the haters.

Go spazz somewhere else please, or maybe log in with your other account and post here when LeBron gets another ring. kek

It's just a 5 game winning-streak, Philly beat them not long ago.

What's ridiculous is the Knicks current losing streak (17). Somebody should tell them they don't have to have the worst record in order to get the number 1 pick anymore. NBA has adjusted the lottery odds, the four worst teams have basically the same chance % of drafting...Zion.

Soft call trigger when the actors knows how to fish for it, one of those quality that Harden have inside the court.

That's why if the league has nothing to do about it and James Harden seems to take advantage of that, the system will continue.

As I mentioned before, defenders are in confused on what to do against Harden since soft fouls might be called. No way you will just let Harden goes on in an uncontested shot so no choice but to defend him at any cost.

And for the record, just check his free throws made compare to field goals made.

Somebody has got to beat them soon. Because it is just getting ridiculous.

DeMarcus Cousins is getting back to shape now, slowly but surely. Another fuel that keeps the Golden State Warriors being a much more dominating team.

Currently, they are 9-1 since Cousins came into play. Just imagine if this big guy will now able to play his usual.

With the upcoming game against the Portland Trail Blazers, Boogie will not play. But I don't see it as a problem for the Warriors not to keep up with the phase against the Blazers.

Yes. You would think they would try and not win anymore games so to get the best in the draft.
Last I heard it was Phoenix with the worst but new york was coming close and then the cavaliers.
