This happens every year to harden. He can't adjust his game to the playoffs because he has built his entire style around getting to the line. The FTA dry up in the playoffs, so his entire game becomes flawed. This is why you never want a player that focuses on drawing fouls like Harden does.

The more I watch him play, the more I don't want him on my team...a guy who relies getting a large portion of his points from the free throw line will not fit in well in portland

I think that's crazy talk. Damian Lillard relies on getting a large portion of his points from the free throw line too. Easy points are a great thing and we can use more of them. A guy who can get to the rim would be valuable to add to this team. Gerald Henderson fits so well because he does a lot of that, and mid-range. He's already best buddies with Lillard and Ed Davis. His acquisition wouldn't concern me in the slightest. We should be so lucky to have a guy of his stature join the team this summer.

It's actually simpler than that. Harden sucks.

A majority of Damian's points come from threes and jumpers...he's lucky to get to the line the way these officials call the game...Hendo is onlh effective when hits those crazy jumpers he takes ordunks it...if he's off we suffer...we don't get the benefit of a lot of foul calls...in fact I believe a winning strategy has to not rely on them...fools gold
 
Dame does get to the line more now that he's been totally snubbed for the ASG and took the ASG snub gracefully. But before that he wasn't getting any respect from the refs.
 
Word on the street is that Curry is Questionable for Game 2... Might be more than just a little tweak to his ankle.

Go Clips!
 
Bradley on the floor, looks hurt

EDIT: he seems to be carried to the locker room. That's a hard one for the Celtics

EDIT2: he will not return

Didn't see it but hear its a right hamstring. Ouch, hamstring injuries while not super serious almost always sideline a player for a significant amount of time. Losing Bradley will be a huge blow for the Celtics. Hopefully he can come back and play on Teusday.
 
Celtics role players missing two open 3 and looks like this one is gonna slip away. Not having Bradley in the end certainly hurts.

I really dislike Evan Turner as a player
 
Wow. Great ending in the Hawks/Celtics matchup. Went down to the final minute.

I like Turner. He is a bit like Batum, but never developed his 3 pointer.
 
Not gonna lie, this is exactly how I saw the Mavs Thunder series going. Mavs not athletic enough to match up with Thunder. I think they would have had a better chance vs the Spurs.

Thunder might be the most likely/only team to sweep in the West.
 
Whenever I watch thunder fans I think of this Futurama skit. They really get hypnotized by the Jumbotron there.

Hubie Brown on the nightcap with the "stay awake challenge".

I lost that challenge. I literally dozed off after a couple minutes into this game and woke up when their was only 4 minutes left in the first half.
 
Blowouts in the Western Conference games so far. Hope we come out ready tomorrow. No room for mental lapses or taking plays off.
