    Gerald Green was in Boston visiting his sick son today. Rockets sign him 2 hours before the game in Boston. Trevor Ariza happily gives Green a pair of his sneakers. 30 minutes before the game, Dantoni announces Green will see playing time tonight (likely so that Ariza can stop playing 45 minutes per game). Lol...this should be interesting.

    Briante Webber and Gerald Green are out here playing fantastic defense on Kyrie. Rockets up by 20 points after 1 quarter. Maybe we found something.

    How do you blow a 26 pt lead????
    Harden just suddenly turned into Westbrick, just making one dumb *** decision after the next. It is getting harder and harder to defend this b.s.

    I hate the Celtics, but Harden was being such a diick at the end of the game he deserved those offensive foul calls.

    I don't even know anymore. Dantoni looked like Kevin McHale tonight. 0 ball movement, no system. Harden was just out there doing whatever the hell he wanted. Dantoni needs to show some balls and sit Harden when he does this dumb stuff sometimes.

    That was a heck of a flop by Smart though... two times too


    Every player in the league should take notes, body up someone, fall backwards, get foulshots

    He seemed visibly upset at the fact there was only two refs tonight. Seems like he was playing that way too, I would be piffed if they were missing calls too. However, considering the ref hurt himself pregame, this should be an isolated game/incident.

    He’s clearly at a disadvantage if there’s a ref missing. He lives by drawing fouls.

    Its pretty difficult to see what houston team shows up tonight. Riding a rough wave, and having just lost a game because of back to back flops. Either they go insane and take their frustration out on the Wizards or theyre completely checked out/done for the year and lay an egg

    This is very true, it’s a good test for them tonight to see how they respond to last night.

    Easy way to solve the ref issue, have every arena keep an alternate ref on staff in case one goes down. Pay em a retainer and something extra if they have to officiate.

    Yeah, it seems crazy to me that there's no substitute refs on hand (for lack of a better word). Surprised this doesn't happen more often honestly.

    Not gonna happen. Unless hes changed from NY and Phoenix hes a soft coach. Carmelo used to walk all over him and do whatever the hell he wanted. Players dont respect him or fear him

    Isaiah Thomas is never gonna get over the fact that’s Boston traded him for a better PG. My god, you would think IT played 10+ seasons in Boston with how he talks and how long is he gonna carry this on for? He really needs to move on, Boston is happily moving on, he should try it too. This pettiness is killing me, he’s acting like Boston didn’t just trade him to the team that will represent the East in the finals.

    I see guys like this all the time and with how he is talking is scary, like he already reached his pinnacle. He’s more worried about being “the guy” then “winning” and if I ran an organization, I would never, ever want a player with this attitude on my team.


    He needs to just take his secondary role behind LeBron and take the exposure that comes from being on LeBrons team come finals time which he’s never had and I’m sure Kyrie will miss.

    I know his sister passed last year and he played in the game. But Boston never asked him to play, that was his choice, Boston doesn’t owe him anything, they give him, a 5’7” player, the chance to show what he has got which is a lot more then players his size get. He should be grateful.

    What an incredibly insensitive take. He shoulda be grateful?! May i remind you that he is a human being with actual emotions. Is he hurting you that much that you need to rip him on a message board? His pettiness is killing you? Please. Get over yourself, snowflake!

    Every team I see a new report about Isaiah, it’s not about his hip or comeback, it’s him talking more about the Celtics and yes, he should be grateful, without the Celtics his stock would be very low.

    Also, weren’t you the guy calling Harden a **** the other night? Get over yourself snowflake!

    Also your right, it’s a message board about the NBA, he’s in the NBA whining about his former team trading him. Acceptable.

    Watching cavs vs jazz.. since when was Wade used for his three point shooting? Good lord, that is pathetic usage of Wade. If you need spacing put in korver put in someone who can actually knock down that shot

    OK, I'm officially done with Harden. He is a crybaby, theater actress at this point. Cries about only 2 refs because they didn't call his fake fouls. Anyone see that ****** **** he pulled on Josh Hart in Houston?



    **** him, I'd rather see another GS championship than let this nancy get one.

    Apparently you've never seen GSW play. I'm almost positive that they lead the league in techs complaining to the refs. Thanks for the laugh this morning.

    Don't remember hearing his tear drops hitting the court because there weren't enough refs to help his acting reel blossom.

    I saw him act, as do many of the stars in the league. But not to this extent.

    You call Westbrook the "fraud mvp" in every post you make. Harden is more of a fraud with this BS and I'm beginning to understand why he didn't, and should never, get an MVP nod.

    Selective memory. You don't remember Wade bi###ng and moaning because you don't want to. Harden probably got the exact move from him. As the announcer said in your clip, "it was a veteran move". I don't endorse it, but I respect him doing whatever needs to be done to stop the losing streak.

    By the way, the reason why I was so pissed was because he was playing like Westbrick for the past few games. Westbrick plays like an idiot and that is why he will lead another talented team to a 6th seed. But hey, that's what mvps do....I guess

    One of the major flaws in this country, is a guy like Lavar Ball being named "father/man of the year"

    This country is doomed.
