ya

tho if they actually get the #1 pick prob no

im in the harden was concussed camp

def seems like a reasonable theory

the fact that he threw the ball to a phantom teammate instead of trying to draw a phantom foul on a three pt shot says something.

the dream scenario for boston tho as i wrote in the offseason thread is not to trade for butler but rather for dre jordan and then sign gordo hayward

long shot on both counts but not impossible, wld be happy to trade for butler too tho then they still need to address their rebounding problems

i think hayward is like 90% to stay in utah

yeah seems like he has a p good setup there + they can offer him a lot more money, only wild cards are what if hes madly in love with brad, and if the celtics succeed in trading for another star the celtics wld be a much better team than the jazz, and he wld escape the horrors of having to play the dubs in the second round

oh dang i forgot about the brad stevens connection

tbf imagining him and brad having a love connection is not hard

much more so than the weird sweaty drug addicted undercover cop they have in utah

lol really brad shd be in utah and snyder shd be in boston culture wise

when was the last time a top 30 player went west to east

isaiah to boston B-)

dont think he was a top 30 player 2 years ago

he was but no one realized it

snyder always struck me as a surfer stoner dude listening to him talk

the story of isaiahs career preboston is so funny and weird both sacto and phoenix looked at his production and went "this cannot be possible" then traded him for nothing

ive watched a lot of movies and i know what a crooked cop looks like

this still seems like the occam's razor explanation although he was at a strip club after the game which is not high on my list of places i'd want to be if i was concussed.

haberstroh:

Pull up data on NBA.com and you'll see that Harden dragged along at a snail's pace in Game 6 with an average speed of 3.36 miles per hour. That was the slowest of any player that played at least 10 minutes in the game.

It gets worse, the next slowest guy, Eric Gordon, registered 3.97 miles per hour, according to the player tracking data, which means that Harden was moving 50 feet per minute slower than the next slowest guy. Consider the tickling fact that Jonathon Simmons could have stood in place for six straight minutes on the floor and he still would have covered more ground than Harden in equal minutes.

wow

the fact that he threw the ball to a phantom teammate instead of trying to draw a phantom foul on a three pt shot says something.

A+ post

sam amick is on lowe's podcast pretty strongly suggesting that harden had an illness for a portion of the series.

yeah i don't think he was concussed as much as he was just tired. sickness would explain it. i also think it's possible that he just got inside his own head. sometimes guys just lose their games in the playoffs.

sign me up for harden's wife left him

Zach Lowe shitted on the 5-1 horford isiaih pick n roll we enjoyed in that column too. He's been getting increasingly grumpy thru the OFFS. he really should stop reading twitt r

Heh no joke last game he was looking particularly stressed and sweaty and I thought I would cast that guy as young Harvey Keitel character in a bad lieutenant tv reboot

lowe is a weirdo

jesus horford

i don't think lowe is weird or grumpy or that he said anything untrue about the 5-1 pnr? they only ran it a couple times and got decent, not amazing looks.

Magical elf time

ice cold

14 seconds tie game and theres 3 possessions? Wow

J WALL

wall for 3, dum

celtics had that play blown up toooo uhg

yeah if he's gonna make that shot i'm ok tbh. they did the right stuff leading up.

back to back terrible possessions from IT kinda killed them

he was having a hard time finding a rhythm late in the game tho he made a couple big shots

Wallllllllllllllllllllllllll.

So glad he made that shot after that trash bank by al.

the bank was good

Yeah it was actually. Awesome game.
