    James Harden shot 27 free throws last night.

    He was 8-19 from the field and had 9 turnovers.

    Triple double is nice but that shit needs an asterisk. What an ugly game to watch.

    AD just had 34/26 and they lost to the Nets.

    They had 4 guys score above 20. Playing no defense whatsoever. How is Gentry not on the hot seat? Their bench was outscored 55-5

    That is one of the consequences of always trading away picks. Off the top of my head I believe they've traded every 1st round pick they've had since they drafted Davis #1 in 2012. That's 6 straight drafts with no development of young players. In a small market you just can't do that.

    So far, every west team that played lost tonight. In the finale, either OKC or LAL will lose, so a good night for Portland.

    Why doesnt AD get criticized? I know his stats are amazing but I always kind of wonder if he doesnt get the criticism other superstars do.

    Obviously if he wanted to be here Id take him.

    It just seems like his stats havent led to a whole lot of winning for NO. This year their team might miss the playoffs. Its not like the talent around him is appreciably worse than most of the teams in the west. Randle, Holliday, Mirotic, all decent to good NBA players.

    Overall I just find his career strange. Most people have had him as a top 4-5 NBA player for most of his career. He has one playoff series win and has missed the playoffs completely a number of times.

    Again Im not saying he sucks, he’s obviously really good. Just seems strange to me he doesnt get held to the standard other players of the caliber do.

    Harden, Lebron, KD, even Dame if their teams were 5 games under .500 people would pile on them. It just seems like AD is mostly immune to that criticism.
