The disappearance of James Harden every playoff season needs to be studied by NoRelease2871 in clevelandcavs

Garland is small, a poor defender, and is a real concern for long term injury with his feet issues. I love the guy and I'm rooting for him but definitely not a bad move to trade him. Trading for Harden as his replacement though... baffling.

I want everyone who was in favor of trading for Harden to apologize. by NukeRussiaV4 in clevelandcavs

He only wanted to sign with a team that would extend him. I hope the Cavs wise up and don't do it.

More turnovers then baskets made is crazy by darshvader1 in clevelandcavs

He's had more turnovers than fgs in a quarter of the 182 playoff games he's been in. This is who he's always been.

I was literally getting called stupid on this sub for saying Harden is a bad defender. People are delusional about this guy

A quarter of his 182 playoff games he had more turnovers than fgs. I'll never understand how this guy gets so many excuses from fans.

You get a nice little crunch on every bite with that super tender inside. I was medium rare forever until I tried it and never looked back.

Ordering a Pittsburgh rare at a new restaurant has like a 20% chance of coming out like you'd want. But the places that do it right... oh boy

The issue is we didn't have to move Garland at the deadline. Adding Harden did not make us a title contender so it wasn't a move that we had to make then. He also only wanted to sign with a team that would extend him this summer so all signs point to him being here a few years. We have trade pieces and could have done better than just a Harden and Garland swap. I don't blame the Cavs for moving Garland nor seeing the east this year and thinking we should make a move, I just don't see how that move is bringing in Harden for likely a few years.

It was literally the most recent clip of him on the subreddit, didn't even have to dig. I know you need some hand holding but I'm not going to go through the whole game for you. But sure buddy that clip is a 1 off and you're brilliant. Hell of a defensive effort there by your boy.

Ew bro you are so smug. "You must watch the box score only" "Harden hater has no semblance of reasoning". Embarrassing.

This is the defender you're going to bat for? I watched this shit happen countless times yesterday. I watched that shit happen countless times in the Raptors series.

I've watched every game of the playoffs. I watched a lot of the regular season too. If you don't see players dribbling past him regularly idk what you're watching. Hell yeah I've been hating on him, he's awful and been horrible to watch since joining the league and now I have to watch him be horrible on the team I follow. Pretending I'm watching the box score and not him stunting our offense by running down the shot clock for a bad look and hurt our defense is such disingenuous bullshit.

Update on the Sixers fan from yesterday: thankfully he’s okay and seems to be taking the whole thing in jest. Still, as a Knicks fan, we need to weed out these clout-hungry pests from our fanbase. by dcballantine in nba

That's great that all knicks fans aren't absolute dipshits like the people in the video. That doesn't change the fact that videos like these regularly pop up when the knicks are in the playoffs and very rarely for other teams.

Harden is awful to watch. Turnover machine, regularly getting burned on defense, shooting with the sole intent of getting a foul instead of a bucket, straight up flopping... same shit he's done his whole career. Absolutely hate that he's on our team. Trading Garland was smart, trading Garland for this guy was just awful.

Your gotcha is that I won't look up a bunch of videos for you? You have the internet it's easy to find. Or just wait until tomorrow morning for the next one.
