James harden is the most overrated players in the nba. That man choke in the playoff year after year for a decade.

He is not ‘him’. He had moments, but trading for him (and giving a way younger all star away) is pretty ridiculous at this point of his career.

I agree he chokes so many times in the playoffs we can’t have him in the same discussion as “top 3 SG”. He great regular season player.

Also another thing if Prime Melo was on the teams Kevin Durant and James Harden was on he would’ve not have playoff chokes.

He chokes in the playoffs so does Paul George

Harden is much more focused on going to the strip club and partying after the game than on the game itself.

They would be better against the Knicks
Pistons to big and athletic
You can see harden can barely dribble against the aggressive defense just bringing the ball up the court. He to slow harden not a good matchup against there players
Mitchell to small to have major impact . He still going and getting you 20 or better but the impact isn’t there
Allen to soft not strong enough or mobley. Duren and Stewart to strong
I respect the effort of them both
Overall I just don’t think there built to compete against this type of team
They don’t have the players
There bench
You can barely play wade
Merril isn’t athletic enough to play
Tyson not enough experience
Dennis not good enough

Donovan, you in GOTTA figure this 💩 out. Forget harden he’s not even a factor

Looks like a huge mistake trading Darius Garland who’s younger and obviously better in the playoffs

Seems like SAS purposely got Shannon removed from First Take, Faked like he wanted Shannon, soon the first opportunity came about he fired him and told skip wait 1 year so it don’t look suspicious then come back. SAS wanted Shannons shine. Point blank period. It’s evident SAS coveted Shannon so bad that he got him exiled from the industry. A black man did that to another black man. You claim that black man to be your friend, you lied and now you rocking with his opp? Wow, SAS a snake.
