    That’s what qualifies as trash talking in today’s NBA?

    OK.

    He's not wrong. Brogdon did real well on him and our role players did not pick up the slack.

    It's kinda true, they played really good defense and made things bog down in the paint. They owned Capela.

    Not sure it was specifically Brogdon... And James had 40.

    This is hardly trash talking...more like objectivity.

    That said, I don't know if the Bucks realize the absence of CP3 and Gordon may have had a "tad" to do with their effectiveness in "shutting down" Harden.

    That’s not trash talk.

    Let the Bucks have their moment. Sure, they don’t win that game if CP3 and EG play, but they’re enjoying a LeBron free conference and being the favorites. They just beat a hell of a team that nearly won a championship last year. Good for them. Next.

    If Harden made some of those makable shots Rockets win and Harden scores 50+

    What's all this fuss about?

    That's not trash talking. The Rockets almost took the game from them, even with how well they defended us. I can't wait to have a fully healthy team again.

    "He’s going to end up with his 30, purely off of his attempts" = definitely talking smack disrespectfully

    that's ok though, they still have to guard harden one more game this season. let's hope msn publishes the quotes after that game as well

    Yeah it would be one thing if he was chucking up all these shots and his efficiency sucked.

    BUT he was still over 60 TS last night and there’s like a handful of guys in the league who could get up that many shots and still keep that efficiency.

    harden was yelling at someone in the 2nd Q something to the effect of "you can't guard me"

    that must have been at brogdon b/c from his quotes it doesn't sound much like they're buddy-buddy

    Those guys need to learn they need to win a significant playoff series before they talk. Its alright we will see them again. If thats the best they have for harden they are in trouble.

    Yeah we kept him to only 42 points 11 boards and 6 assists. You know you are great when the opposition starts talking smack that they kept you down to only 42 points

    That game was winnable at the end of the day.

    James missed some (for his standards) makeable step-back 3s to at the least tie the game. They played good defense against us and Brogdon played him well.

    I expected something much worse... this "trash talk" thread is for pansies.

    Y'all don't remember Kobe going off for 40 against us every time and we were happy with a win cause we held everybody else in check?
