What a freak show at the desk. Bring on some decent people. The blonde woman is hot at least
What do yall think of da Will Smith slap?
is Doc Rivers putting too much blame on James Harden? I, a NBA connoisseur, strongly believe there is never too much blame you can place on James Harden. This man is absolute rubbish. I mean I can play better defense at Xsport than this man can play at Wells Fargo. He MUST lay off the stripper chicken wings. He needs to fire Lil Baby and hire a REAL man that handle hard D.
He look like Tyler perry…
The coach isn't on the floor. It's all on the player's.. I pray we don't resign Harden.
that half zip shirt on the thumbnail is nice
Who the F are these guys
Doc was never a good coach… just had good talent around him… look at him in Orlando 🗑
The reserves on first take
He blamed Simmons too
Doc never takes responsibility for his poor coaching. Why not find a way to put your star in a position to play well?
Where's Stephen A Smith?
Doc is actually the James Harden of coaching….
“its scary hours” 🤡
To me, Harden falls into the Westbrook category. Throughout Houston, Hardens numbers were so unbelievable that people actively excused his post season and big game performances because he would average like 34/36 in a season. But since his departure from a system that was built entirely for him, and the fact he has now played with multiple superstars and still not got it done, people are starting to see his flaws. There’s a reason why CP3 couldn’t play with him anymore, same with Russ the first time and now KD. If you really think about it, even without Kyrie Harden and KD should’ve been absolutely torching the league but Harden, I don’t know man something has just never sat right with me when it comes to seeing him as a player that’s willing to do anything to win. If it doesn’t work with Embiid then surely we need to start having a conversation about Harden kind of like how we do with Russ.
