This channel is great, but this video he made for someone else caught my attention: Simply put, the series was supposed to go to 7 games, with the Rockets losing and the NBA getting their SAS-GSW WCF they always wanted. Harden knew how it was going to go down, and simply quit in game 6. He is seen going to Pop, saying how "He just couldn't do it" and Pop telling him "Its OK". Harden, knowing that the NBA has the full authority to simply end his career by telling the refs to give him 2 trips to the line per game MAX instead of 5 on average. The NBA was dissapointed that Harden didn't go along and take the series to 7 games, but since his actions didn't tip the outcome of the series, his FTs per game are only down 3, minor enough for his own self-improvement to compensate, instead of 7 with the new rule the NBA put in place. This is why I am still doubtful on weather we can win it all. Russ, Melo, and George are simply more reconizable names than Harden and CP. The NBA will go to limited lengths to make sure their story gets through, can't have another 2002 WCF in the day of social media after all. The Draft Lottery is fully chosen in advance, The NBA didn't like how Houston got Sampson and Hakeem instead of the Knicks. For games, the NBA "Parents" outcomes more than outright rigging it, how else can you explain the Spurs winning 5 rings along with the Pistons winning in 2004? For those who bring up the CP3 to the Lakers, that trade was shot down thanks to an ultimatum from the owners to (((Stern))). Since NO had no owner or GM, the commissioner basically drew up the trade himself. The owners threatened to oust him from power if he let that trade pass, so he vetoed his own trade.
It does link up well with.... http://bbs.clutchfans.net/index.php...-james-harden-played-poorly-in-game-6.282814/ Wonder if we still have a shot at winning, or if Marcus Smart's uncalled 12 step travel some kind of sign that our title hopes are dead. I remember RocketsTruth going batshit that night but not explaining what any of it meant before he was banned lol
The ramblings of a man who's inability to communicate coherent thoughts exacerbated by the fact that he should be asleep lol
