DPG21920:
How sweet would it be if the Spurs end up with the number one seed, and Kawhi ends up winning MVP after we meet them in the western conference finals and then end up beating the Spurs 4-2 while Harden clowns all over Leonard?
Speaking of Rockets fans, it's crazy that just 2 or 3 years ago(whenever Parsons was with Houston), we were having Kawhi vs. Parsons arguments downstairs
Rockets fans be like, "laaaaag"
Ever since 1995 ......after that "Olajuwon reign".....Spurs own the Rockets, tbh
not worried about the Harden rockets at all........
Prolly the best coachin Hardens ever had
That 34 sec >>>>>> Brooks, Bickerstaff & D' Antoni
Problem is, that the "system" that people like to credit for Kawhi's greatness, is also the same thing that takes away from his assist numbers. Yeah he doesn't average as many assists as Lebron or Harden, but he is always setting up his teammates who make the extra pass to the open man. He doesn't get the assist but he made the play.
"Yes and what a wonderful job they're doing. The best defensive team coached by Pop with two defensive aces on the wing (including the defensive player of the year) are holding Harden to a measly 29.8 points (on 20.75 shots), 11.8 assists, 9 rebounds.
Every possession Leonard defended Harden:
1) Harden beats him to basket, sends it to open Ariza for clanked 3.
2) Harden beats him straight up, misses an open layup. Leonard a step behind.
3) Harden drains a 3 in Leonard's face.
4) Harden passes to Gordon, Gordon turns it over.
5) Harden breaks Leonard's ankles leaving him to ponder the meaning of life, Harden goes to corner, takes a 3 over Aldridge, misses.
6) Harden misses a 3, Leonard did nothing and gave him too much space but got lucky according to Spurs announcers.
* Harden guarded by Aldridge, EMBARRASSES him, they foul him hard sending him to the line.
7) Harden BLOWS BY Leonard. Leonard recovers and blocks it to cover his own ass.
They win by 2.
I got it. I've read all the arguments. I've said my piece. We'll seem them in the 2nd round."
What game was this guy watching. Harden turned the ball over the first 3 possessions Kawhi guarded him. None of these plays happened.
So out of that very biased, very incorrect collection of plays that, as you said: didn't take into account the many turnovers Harden had while being guarded by Kawhi, we still get that out of 7 plays Harden scored in just 1. Way to make a point Rocketfan.
Harden was on fire early in the game, nothing you can do when he's draining 3s like that, but he really didn't do that much(relatively speaking) once Kawhi started covering him and they finally switched the coverage against him..the repe ive switching was getting annoying..I thought it may have been Green/Aldridge miscommunication/poor decision making, at first, but it was clearly strategic, as Pop didn't say a word(usually berates Green if he makes a mistake or benches him, at least)..
These games are meant for experimenting, though..it's evident in all these games that Harden is their only weapon(

What is this
What a joke those fools are.
Where's the narrative that Harden is a system player.
Pringle's system generates mad regular season offensive stats for the PG and Harden is the beneficiary of that much more than Kawhi is.
Been trying to figure out how bad Sean is as a commentator. Lucky, Clutch Fans was there for me. It seems like the main problem they have with him is that he doesn't give Harden enough credit when they play. I don't personally see that as a problem. I think he talked plenty about Harden, but the biggest reason why Houston was carving the Spurs up was their own poor D, and Elliott harped on that.
Why exactly does Sean have such a bad reputation? I think he is biased, but he is usually tongue-in-cheek when he sees the Spurs get away with something rather than blatantly in denial that it happened. Like I watched the Warriors game last night, and the commentators watched a video where Klay clearly reached over and slapped an Atlanta player in the face, then they responded with, "All I see if that guy go down without being touched". I feel like Sean would have said, "Well we don't need to see that replay again," or "Yeah, he got with that hand there."
There are definitely more neutral teams out there, but Sean seems like a good balance between being an unabashed Spurs fan and a guy who is good at articulating what he sees (and illustrating it).
Sean does call it neutrally. I guess other teams think we are the "snobs" of the NBA. We "must be downtalking" all the time or something. They probably feel that way before he even says anything.
They've been doing this every single game against Houston this season, it's clearly strategic. Will probably do the same against Westbrook tomorrow. Supposedly this should limit penetrating and should force them to jack up 3s, which they're very happy to do. Not sure how successful it is, to my eyes test it has had very mixed results, but the coaching staff clearly like this.Harden was on fire early in the game, nothing you can do when he's draining 3s like that, but he really didn't do that much(relatively speaking) once Kawhi started covering him and they finally switched the coverage against him..the repe ive switching was getting annoying..I thought it may have been Green/Aldridge miscommunication/poor decision making, at first, but it was clearly strategic, as Pop didn't say a word(usually berates Green if he makes a mistake or benches him, at least)..

That's what I noticed as well. He would say ambiguous stuff like "I'm not saying there was some contact, but I'm not saying there wasn't some contact either... *chuckles*" or " I'm going to go with the ruling on the court", etc. I think what people don't like about Sean is that he talks only about the Spurs, I don't remember that he talks too much about opponents. That's logical as he's not only a Spurs fan or homer but a Spurs insider. So it's 100% Spurs with him and fans from other teams perceive that as disrespectful.
