Don’t forget the part in-between where D’Antoni regularly plays him 38+ mins in blowout games and wears him down to a nub by the time the playoffs start.

January 4: JAMES HARDEN IS THE BEST TO EVERY PLAY

So, one game where he didn't spend an abominable amount of time at the free throw line as a result of him flopping all game and people should find a brand new 'take'. Sorry, no. 

Nah, next game he’ll take like 20.

Most remarkable stat of the night: Harden only took 9 free throws (made 8).

I’m glad he found something to celebrate after going 3 for fucking 20 from the field

I hope this means the Dolphins are moving on from Tannehill, who is the poster boy for white privilege in the NFL. This is a man who played more WR than QB at A&M but was still drafted to QB an NFL team in the first fucking round (and signed a massive extension despite having no real success). Who didn’t even know…

What a nice way for the NFL to honor Bob McNair’s legacy

They should be spending more time teasing Simmons about his inability to make more than 40 percent of his unguarded three-pointers in warm-ups.

Getting three fouls called on 3-pt attempts in one half sort of proves the point.

Harden’s got a great handle & dude’s got one hell of a shot. That pump fake and lean into the defender tossing up a 3 pointer move? That’s some bullshit. You know on the playground everyone would give him the foul call once or twice and then ignore him every time he cried foul after that.

Dude, he is only bad at shooting, moving laterally and jumping. 

Wait, I thought he was a Generational Talent. Don’t the Sixers have, like, four of five guys who are Generational Talents?

Here’s that guy, everyone. “Lots of players start under pressure, just suck it up and BE A MAN!”

Well, he also fakes a lateral, which freeze them, cuz they’re looking for the next dude. And that sets up the Larsen-y.

If you want to see what it looks like when all the defenders are keying on the ball carrier take a look at the Oklahoma-Boise St play. Half the defense is erased from the play the second the pitch is received - which is the entire point of the hook and lateral play: hope the defense does what you suggest and then flip…

Every year when they announce the schedule, I look to see if they’re in Buffalo early or late.

I did sucky

As a Vikings fan, I hate the fucking Saints for Gregg Williams reasons. Having the Minneapolis Miracle to hang over them for the rest of eternity is wonderful. Sure. Championships are great. Playoff appearances are great. This sort of play, sticks to the soul of a fan, and it’s another thing to lord over the Patriots…

As a lifelong Dolphins fan born in Miami long after the 70s, I don’t have a ton to hang my hat on, but owning the shit out of Tom Brady down here is a tiny morsel of accomplishment that I will savor with every fiber of my being.
