The NBA uses these kind of guys to push the narrative that they're far too cautious to say themselves.
Lmao harden had 5 steals. Hes been averaging 2.2 steals n 1.5 blocks since he been with the clippers, he plays defense now too.
That” applaud a fish for swimming” line was crazy 😂
Every team takes the personality of their coach.
Stephen A Smith"The Clippers were winning at the start of the season"
The Clippers beat 3 weak teams that ain't making the playoffs; The Blazers, Magic and Spurs
Than they lost to the Utah Jazz and the weak Lakers…
It's not like Clippers were stomping teams, yall just hating for views…
I think this is the first year in my basketball watching life where you cannot even argue LeBron is the best player in the league because of Jokic
ESPN analyst "We won't judge harden on regular season games"
Also ESPN analyst "Why don't superstars care about the regular season"
“Ime Udoker”
"Ime Udoker" Stephen A. lol
I had to turn it off when I heard Jokic was the best player and then they started giving praise to the Rockets 🤣🤣🤣
I agree with both perk and Stephan A
It's been a while since a white guy was giving the NBA business. We need to put some respect on Joker, I think we have diss him too much.
That’s FACTS!! Russ could’ve done the same thing + why is it that when the starters are taken out of the game, why doesn’t Russ stay out there with the bench instead of Terence Mann? So Russ can’t be a starter and he’s also too good to be out there with the 2 unit? So when is he supposed to get his minutes?
Molly forgot to say that Jokic had ZERO turnovers that game too.
Kendrick Perkins is just a hater
Perk is soft af
They blame harden for his performance in the playoffs but Westbrook can’t make a shot in the playoffs either
The only fish swimming are these two with their James Harden hate
Perkins never showed up
Never been to finals but he was facing the champions in his conference regular season doesn’t matter? Without regular season you won’t have position or access to the playoffs. What are we talking?🤷🏽♂️
Stephen has had it and I say it all the time this clown LeBron will take nights off losing games they shouldn't lose look lifeless than the next game blowout the opponents lmao he decides when to play
Never give the clippers they credit
Westbrook was never a leader wth
No one does
Monty Williams gotta get rid himself of Wht didn’t work in Phoenix especially with Ayton who he didn’t get along wit. I dnt think rebuilding team wit coach Williams is the right choice 💯
These two are just saying stuff to be saying stuff no logic or reasoning only emotional opinions
of course not, who would,,toxic… not to mention they really not need his play style, they need bigs and role players
The only thing that's even keeping me watching NBA ball anymore is Nikola Jokic. 7 foot tall Magic Johnson.
Me either Perk! He hasn't been consistent. I am sorry for Westbrook. He ain't getting the mins. They play Warriors tonight so we will see
"you cant applaud a fish for swimming" is crazy, but big facts
“Ime Udoker”😂😂😂
I’m not gonna applaud a fish for swimming 🤣🤣👏🏾
So we gonna do this after every Good Game that James has? Weak.
Huge win over the pistons lmao!
So I guess james shluld just sit and wait at home until the playoffs start….oh my bad then SAS would be on tv screaming saying that he shud not get paid
you guys sound vey excited that Jokic is stil good, be mad
Lakers had 38 Free Throws to Pistons 14. It's starting again!
I low key feel like it should be illegal for Kendrick Perkins to talk about James harden it like sometimes he be speaking facts but perk we seen him play basketball also and he shouldn’t even be able to bring up James hardens name😭
I love how everyone is ready to attack Harden for helping the Clippers win games, meanwhile the Warriors are an absolute dumpster fire and no one is talking about Klay, Wiggins, and Draymond all being absolute garbage this season
Russ is trash and will stay trash. Harden the goat shooting guard
Please stop the racist perk talking about white players
Getting praised for being a can crusher shows how hard Rich Paul is networking behind the scenes 🤣🤣🤣 20k
You say "it's not hard to put up these kinds of numbers in today's NBA" but scream Lebron's the Goat in the same breath, make it make sense
Kendrick Perkins taking us all to school "can't applaud a fish for swimming" :'D
Facts he’s szn harden and comes to disappointment playoff harden.
People in these comments acting like a handful of decent games from harden means “he’s back” or they’ve “figured it out”
The Lakers are just like The Cowboys!
AD is a fake and over paid.
Westbrook is a better all around player than Harden. I’d prefer him too
