    I wonder if we'll get another 80+ point game from Kobe again this year. He has no one to pass to. He's gonna get pissed one night. He has 39 tonight. He's still got it.

    Didn't you say they were going to make the playoffs?

    Kobe has put up 37 shots so far. Go shoot 37 jumpers in your driveway some time... Now imagine doing it against defenders in a 48 minute game. He's going all out hero ball this year and will be going down in a blaze of glory. Maybe he wants to catch Karl Malone.

    I was here after that, Houston Sports fans are pretty used to heartbreaks. With that said, I wasn't posting on talk trash or anything. I just think the idea that Harden flops for his FTs is a bit much, when I'm pretty sure there isn't a player in the NBA that drives into the lane as much as he does. The Lilliard shot did more good than harm, Harden has turned into a guy that actually defends and contests every shot because of it. So it's in the past and that failure seemed to have driven him to do much better on defense.

    so those intentional turn-to-the-side and then flail in the air, shoot some random shot from the perimiter, and fall on the ground is driving the lane? now we have westbrook copying him. hes a bad influence, and i dont want him hanging around people doing this flopping business.

    Harden is the biggest flopper I've seen in many years of watching NBA basketball. When someone mentions flopping, I immediately picture him. His name is synonymous with flopping league-wide, and I'd bet his name is first on the list when the subject comes up. The central message here is: he flops.

    Too bad his defense still sucked this summer on Team USA.

    So if you have Harden on your fantasy team you basically win fts every week because of him alone...

    Kobe caught and passed Malone long ago...

    I assume you mean for the career lead in missed field goal attempts. Kobe leads Malone by about 700 misses and widens the gap every game.

    Harden is awful in pressure situations. He choked in 2012 Finals and he choked last year. If he had played well in 2012, he'd probably still be on OKC and you guys would probably be in the lottery with Jeremy Lin as your best player.

    Meh I get it, you guys don't like Harden. Nothing I say or show you will change your mind that he doesn't flop so I'm not going to waste the keystrokes and time showing you shot charts and what not. Point is, he gets to the line by getting fouled in the paint. Whether people like to hear that or not, I don't know. I just know that's a fact and that's what happens.

    Also yeah, Harden had struggles (and success) in previous playoff series. He was like 21 then though and has improved his game every year since. So there is that too.

    I didn't come to trash talk the Blazers or anything or throw dirt at your team. Good luck on the rest of the season, you guys are going to need it. Not because the Blazers are a bad team but because you play in the west and we both know how hard it is to get a good seed in this conference.

    I want to add, I hope when you guys play Dallas that Batum still has big games against Parsons.
