By the way, James Harden doesn't just choke in the NBA ... check out the boxscore from his final NCAA game:

10 points then too ... on 2-10 shooting ... sad.

It's not that he tries to do too much, like, say, Westbrook. Harden just utterly vanishes.

While I don't disagree that he is an all time choker the rest of his team really didn't show up to play either. They shot a pathetic 29% from the floor. They basically made Harden look better by all stinking up the joint together.

Rockets' biggest problem is they live and die by the three to an absolute extreme. When their outside shot is off, they have nothing else they especially excel in to make up for it.

Celts-Wiz is competitive and chippy as I expected.

What a shot by Wall! I think I woke up any sleeping apartment neighbors with my noise when he hit that

Spurs beating Warriors by 20. At the half. On the road.

How about it, folks

Kawhi got hurt and Warriors have completely taken over

**Jameis1of1** · 05-14-2017, 06:25 PM

If CP3 returns to the Clips instead of signing with Kawhi "the manchine" Leonard and the Spurs this summer ... he's insane imo ... he is exactly what that Spurs team needs though even with him they still probably won't be able to top the all-star team that is Golden State ...

Zaza with the K.O. to Kawhi in Game 1. This series without him playing is over, sad to say. Warriors knew that they needed Kawhi out to stand a chance, and low and behold, it happens.
