    It's crazy that Harden left the Rockets so he no longer had to be the 1 star carrying his team, to keep ending up as the one star carrying his team haha.

    Nearly every season since he left too, due to injuries and drama.

    He probably should have stayed in Philly in hindsight. Maxey is balling out of his mind right now and they might have been able to make some noise in a weak East even without Embiid.

    I think the Clippers will bounce back to some degree and hopefully keep OKC from landing in the top 4, but they're not making the playoffs at this rate.

    Clips hang for 2-3 Quarters and then they falter......quite tragic.

    Quick reminder that the Thunder own the the Clippers draft pick this year. Ugh.

    Unless Kawhi is lost for the season, Clippers are a lock for the play-in.

    He didn't ask out over the playing situation there, though. He was just mad that he thought Murray screwed him on a new contract after he signed a team friendly deal to help free up some money.

    If neither Kawhi and Harden miss significant time, they will finish #9 above the Pels, Kings, Mavs, Jazz, Grizzlies and Blazers.

    You are tripping. That's what you call a lock?

    OK, "lock" is too strong a word. Substitute "high likely".

    Kind of a bummer Harden might miss the playoffs for the first time in his career. It’s remarkable. Not even Curry or LeBron have done that. That LAC team outside of Harden is a mess.

    That’s his point. Only Harden has pulled every team he’s been on to the playoffs.

    Lol at Harden and Clips, Norman Powell is thriving with Spoelstra.

    5 game losing streak. 7-23 FG and 12 turnovers over his last 2 games. Little game James… Mr. “I am the system” looks like he’s quitting again and looking for a way out again. Shocker!

    Bum ass loser at least has a chance to win his 7th turnover title at this rate though.

    Let's see where Mr. Fatsuit demands a trade to next. I'm thinking Spurs or Lakers...also maybe demanding a Thunder reunion?
