NBA Playoffs 2017: LOL BAHSTAN - Page 245 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Is this:

1) Unreported injury (for Harden).

2) Season-long rest schedules coming home to roost.

3) Game 4 Spurs rest vs. Houston rest, plus Game 5 Houston short rotation.

He even airballed a shot just like Kawhi did last game! Well, it was a lay-up vs 3pt shot, but whatever.

I think this is injury or rest for sure. Just so off that it can't be shookness. If he was shook would still make free throws

This is truly one of the greatest SLANKING of all time by Harden

Yea, 100% it's at least rest for Harden if not injury. This is clear just bc he was on the bench at the end.

Doesn't preclude him from beasting in the second half though.

If I'm a Warriors fan I'm still pretty relaxed, but I am significantly more shook than I was one hour ago.

Impossible to supplant KOBE's 2nd half slankage, the great slanking of our time, in Game 7 of the 2006 1st Round.

Maybe Kawhi's teammates don't like him and guys were pumped he was out.

He does seem like a pretty lame dude. Huge buzzkill type.

The only thing that should, can, and will shake the Warriors will be when they are up 3-1 in the Finals against GOAT.

Well, I would describe Kobe's disappearing act as closer to what is commonly defined as slankage.

Harden is just playing terribly.

He's stoic. The best two-way player in the game according to Pop.

Although it is hard to imagine the Cavs blowing out anyone without LeBron.

Could any other coach in the league do what pop is doing with this group? i'm not even sure how this is a playoff team in the west muchless a contender. Rockets have so much talent, should be winning but wow, pop just the greatest of all time.

Sure, just differentiating.

Although not shooting the ball is more than playing terribly.

You could if he played on the Spurs.

Seems lik routinely running the pnr with Ariza is a mistake.

Wouldn't you rather run it with Randerson?

It's weird to think he would be so in his head in a home game against a Kawhi-less Spurs. It will be pretty condemning if he comes out like this in the second half.
