  1. Hardin does what he always does in pressure games absolutely chokes. He’s not a winner but I have a feeling he doesn’t care he’s RICH

  2. Can we all agree that nerdwallet might be the stupidest company to ever sponsor anything ? Talk about a useless money leeching company

  3. Injury will probably rear its ugly head before this one is done. I'm gonna guess it will be Kawhi or Harden. It could be a Nugget too, (Murray, Porter) but never Nickola. His availability is his superpower.

  4. For some reason every nba interview coach teaches them to talk super fast , say absolutely nothing interesting

  5. Most unguardable plays I’ve seen..
    1. Jokic/Murray two man when Murray is cooking
    2. Dirk jumper at the nail or elbows
    3. Prime LeBron in transition
    4. Curry pick n roll or on a pin down
    5. Kawhii, Melo, Kobe, and KG mid range turn around
    6. Prime D Rose and Brody going down hill
    7. Shaq in post (would be higher except for free throw difficulties)
    8. Nash and Stoudemire two man game
    9. Giannis in transition or in the post
    10. Anything prime D-Wade

    Note:
    * been a fan since ‘03
    *just rattle off this list, please add any omissions or considerations.

    Point is, Murray/Jokic two man game when Murray is playing last this hasn’t been beat. No one has stopped it at their apex. The Wolves were the closest last year but Murray wasn’t hitting tough shot after tough shot like this or like on their championship run.

  6. Harden is so trash. Such a liability. Dude never hustles and hardly plays defense. I’ve seen him do the same thing to every team he’s ever been a part of in the playoffs. Literal trash. Hard to watch. I feel bad for Lenard
