Harden always disappear in these kind of games.

Harden always disappear in these kind of games.

People shouldn't even worried about this

Harden 36 years old and should be the 3rd best player on this team....sometimes 4th if Allen is going


Donovan Mitchell has to burden the responsibility of whatever happens game 7

Utah scapegoated Rudy Gobert....Gobert left and went to back to back conference finals

Harden has carried a team to the conference finals

Spyda trying to get paid 70ms per year....would be nice to make the conference finals for once

 

[southsil4lil]

I have no idea who wins this game

Pistons at home and the higher seed but I feel like all the pressure is on Cleveland

Wish it came on earlier

Think Cleveland should consider starting Strus in place of Wade, they cant afford to get off to a slow sloppy start offensively tonight and also just you can use Wade as the backup 4 all game

Try to limit the Mitchell as the pg minutes as much as possible....Ive said this going back to his time in Utah, he can’t play point guard and its always a disaster when he has to play that role

They gonna be ok with DM having the ball and going for 40 cause DM can't make the pass that sets up the next pass ever.

He's either gonna shoot or pass the ball just to get the ball out of his hand.

I think Detroit will be fine if thet get can dictate the tempo and also limit turnovers obviously

Cleveland has had pretty much had more possessions in every category(halfcourt, second chance, transition ect) but Detroit has been more efficient in all of those

If they keep it close and give Cade a chance to close it out in the 4th I like their chances

 

[AZTG]

I honestly don't care about who wins from a match up for the Knicks perspective.

Both teams pose matchup problems for the Knicks in their own way, but Knicks spank both teams.

I will be rooting for the Cavs though cause that gives Knicks homecourt.

Man sometimes it looks like the Cavs don't understand the moment.

I'm not saying you get all the rebounds, but they give up some crazy ass offensive rebounds sometimes. It just looks like the effort ain't there.

If I'm the pistons I ain't worried about shit tonight.

Having that kind of stat with no type of pay off...




I wonder where he ranks in points and assists

Thats exactly what it is and its understandable, he's a pure scorer and looking to get buckets not necessarily set up anybody but thats why its levels to players....the ability to create for yourself AND others is what seperates a lot of players

Mitchell should be probably be your second best player
