    Maybe the McHale “beef”?

    Kevin is a favorite son up there.

    He’s Harden’s favorite son.

    He pretty much ruined their franchise with the Joe Smith Debacle and most of KG's prime years...the latter whom he gifted to the Celtics with a cupcake deal.

    Clap clap clap GM harder!

    Picture yourself on game 1 of WCF... Durant handles the ball the first time and you're watching it live. What would you do?

    On KFAN he was villified a few times. Corey Cove even referred to him as “the cheater with a beard” when talking about popular jerseys. A lot has been brought up on KFAN and other sportstalk outlets that his step back is a travel. At game 3 he was booed every time he touched the all’s and some of the loudest cheers was when he shot an air ball late in the game.

    ...... because that is what opposing fans do to the other sides best player.......... and because its the playoffs....and they thought that would take him out of his game (which it kind of did in the first quarter).

    Bring that on. We get to see Harden’s grit level.

    Does he rise up to shut them up? He did last game. And it felt so soooo good to hear their silence and see their reactions. The only thing left was to taste their salty tears. Mmmmm.

    I think you misunderstood the crowd. They are in dairy land and when they get excited they make grasping udder gestures and yell Moooooooooooo!!

    The boos and "Harden sucks" chants started when he started going to the free throw line in that 3rd quarter. He got fouled on a 3 pointer and then had an And-1. We all know the narrative that all he does is flop and get calls so they think every whistle isn't a foul even though these particular ones were.

    I loved how Harden laughed it off and said "they don't really mean it" during the press conference.

    This was much more than just opposing star getting standard boo's. They were raining boo's like Harden did something to make it personal.

    It was a little strange, didn't accomplish anything, but still a little strange.
