Kinda doubt that. Harden's rep was maybe at an all-time low after last season

But I also kinda feel like people who feel drastically differently about how good harden is now didn't really recognize or appreciate his skillset before. He's always been a pretty ridiculous player offensively. Ofc a lot of people prob already felt that way and would have had him over Ginobili for that reason

Are you talking about current Ginobli vs current Harden? Don't think anyone had Ginobli > Harden if that's the case during the offseason. If you mean peak I could see people thinking that, though it's probably not close either.

Figured this thread is likely to get more active if there's a daily reminder of the games. Regardless, good ball night tonight

Is Bucks-Cavs worth staying awake for - or should I expect a blow out like last night's GSW game?

[doh] I didn't even notice they played OT last night

Leuer's going to find his way into the starting lineup, I think

Obviously no one should be disputing that current Harden>>current Manu. Manu is 40.

What are you confused about?

Boogie had a ton of praise for Plumlee in the postgame, not so much for Meyers

The whole thing about how he was tossed for getting his second T for spitting his mouthpiece at POR's bench, then it was rescinded for some reason after he had left the court.

per espn:

tossed for throwing his mouthpiece at POR's bench [referee's assumption given where mouthpiece ended up - beneath the POR bench]

rescinded because he didn't throw it - it "came" from his mouth (your choice of advertently/inadvertently~=spat) [after the refs consulted with POR players as to whether it was thrown]

I know he's been bad most of the year, but Rubio has really been good lately. It's not surprising to me that Wolves improvement has come along with it.

"Did he throw his mouthpiece at you guys?"
"No, he spit it at us."
"Then he is ... BACK IN THE GAME."
