This season is proving that super teams don't work. 2 superstars are enough and you need a deep cast of efficient role players.
JHarden, and KDurant, for as good as they are at basketball, have never felt like they were "team" players, just doing their individual craft very well for themselves...
Except, when you are playing a team sport for yourself, you are never doing it very well, no matter the stats.
Harden has had his teammates always injured. I mean think about it. Kawhi, Embiid, Kyrie, Russ, Chris Paul, Dwight. This man never catches a break. Also Harden has lead the league in assists. He is one of the best passers of his generation. Hard to say he's not a team player
@@WHITEPERSUAS1ON Harden is not a team player. Nope, that was pretty easy to say. Staying out all night partying with strippers over and over for over a decade, and you think he’s a team player?
Harden will have some good games in the playoffs, and then he will go 2-12 with four turnovers and seven points, and the next game 5-16, 0-6 from three, for 16 points like in this last series. Last year he had three games with a combined 27% from the field in a single series on volume shooting. Two of those games he had five turnovers too.
Teams cannot afford that in the playoffs, a dude jacking up a bunch of bricks and spraying the ball around. That loses games when you can only lose four games in a series.
Leads the league in assists…how much more points per hundred does his team score with Harden on the court versus off?
Yeah. They are great players but not great winners.
Dame so unlucky man. Left to get help, and everyone got hurt, including himself
I mean he's very old and the entire team is very old too. Its not like he went to Orlando
And his wife left him
I'm a Sixers Fan and with the way he absolutely demolished and bodied the Sixers, I thought Allen Iverson found the Fountain Of Youth, came out of retirement, and signed with the Knicks.
Iverson was never that efficient... or had this kind of post game, footwork, fundamentals overall.
I really do not get the comparison. Just cause he is a small guard? Then someone like 2017 Lowry on steroids is a way better comparison!
I been sayin he lookin like a.i for two years don’t let him go to the finals n lose in 5 lol I love the Knicks
@@Smido83 Knicks fan here. AI is still the greater player.
You knew he wasn’t going to include Philly 😂
Does he meat ride Philly or what
philly at least made the series competitive somewhat
With a top 5 player in Embiid they’re not there to make it competitive. They are there to win. Can’t make it out the first round. Embiid should be on this list.
@@nnj1991I think he said this bc the hoop reference guy is a Philly fan
Of course he wasn’t. He’s a biased sixers fan
Harden is not a loser because of these playoffs, he has always been a loser in the playoffs.
He did better than embiid. The sixers was better without embiid. The sixers won the 2 games embiid didn't play.
@@davidwilliams316 Embid was playing hurt giving it his all. Harden was jacking up bricks as usual because he doesn’t care if his team loses, he still will have fun strippers tonight.
I have no Issues with Hardens play. Only reason they won any games. PG was just awful and sucks they never have Kawhi
Game 5 and 6 .....
7 and 15 points on 23% from the field and 7% from 3
Come on now, that's ALL TIME BAD. And guess what it's not the first time
Nice video i like the way he provide the details
Jalen Brunson is the most humble superstar in the league. I’m rooting for this kid keep doing your thing underdog
Anthony Edwards is easy to root for too. Every interview.....all he ever does is give credit to his teammates.
The funniest thing about the Laker /Ham is that it just proves that the entire promo job the NBA and sports media put into the In - Season tournament was bogus. There have been dog farts that had lingered longer - oh right they have a banner !!
lol at this title
Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland chemistry continues to grow, if you watched game 7 you saw it the whole time, was honestly heartwarming.
ehh garland was still mid he had 12 points and ᵃ few assists honestly the magic poor shooting killed themselves more so than anything
@@bluer0c Magic poor shooting because Cavs defense. Also Garland will be fine, I think he will have an easier time against the Celtics, crazy as that sounds
Garland only scored 12 points with 5 personal fouls. I'm a Cavs fan. I think the Garland and Mitchell combo is our biggest weakness. I hope Garland gets traded in the off season for a wing player. He has had many poor performances. The Mobley and Allen combo isn't great either, but Mobley is improving a bit at 3 point shooting.
Garland had 12 point in 13 shots? What are you talking about
@@gemox3225
1. Many of those fould were terrible calls.
2. Can't forget Garland literally lost so much weight with his jaw injury, so its been a down year in general for an otherwise great player.
3. Mobley and Allen is more about defense and the current rotation system has their minutes staggered other than the start and end of games.
4. Garland scored 10 in the 4th quarter and had a great defensive + hussle impact that provided great energy for the rest of the team, and he hit a HUGE 3 at the end
5. Next year, another year of contunuity and hopefully less injuries, I think Mitchell will stay in Cleveland because the grass isant always greener on the other side
Nice one 🎉🎉🎉
The difference in how you talking about Brunson on here vs on twitter is crazy. You tweet like hes a foulbaiting bum but in your videos hes a superstar. Make it make sense.
Both can be true 😳
Pretty sure he’s a 76ers fan. That makes his tweets ironic because Embiid is the most egregious foul baiter ever. Brunson is 6’2 at best so like other little guys he needs to bend the rules a little to succeed. Embiid is 7ft 280 lb but flops and mostly settles for contested jumpers despite having a physical advantage over everyone in the NBA
@@chrilpy youve never had an original thought in your life you just echo the opinions you see on social media
@@jdand12he’s completely right though
@@jdand12if you actually watched the games Brunson doesn’t actually foul bait as people think he does. There’s plenty of breakdowns of Jalen beating his man than goes for a shot and most of the time he doesn’t lean his body the defender leans their body bc they are attempting to get in front of him which causes it look like Jalen was foul baiting but in reality he wasn’t.
Surprised you haven’t mentioned Kyrie, seems like he really found comfort in Dallas, performs at a 2016 level + put aside all of the drama, certainly a big winner and a antithesis to Harden this year in my opinion
++ love the content, sorry never put a like, too lazy to separate my music likes to a playlist 😂
bro didn’t give lu dort any credit for the ingram disasterclass
I know dame stunk in the playoffs but yall gotta remember this dude just loved his life from the west coast all the way to Milwaukee. He’s the new guy in the organization in a role that he hasn’t been in before. I bet he’ll be back to normal next season.
I think we saw hardens last game sadly. He had a good career but unfortunately just couldn’t win the big one.
Gotta disagree with Dame. Definitely not a winner, but there’s no denying he did as well as we could have expected. Without a little bad luck, the Bucks are in just as good a spot as Boston. I think it’s harsh putting him in the Loser column because he’s still in the position he wants to and should be in.
The bucks are cooked goofy
@@ozzee5094 You're calling a "Goofy" but he's right. All season everyone has said they expect the Bucks to make noise next season. They were never clicking this season. If the Bucks remain healthy, they have a good shot at the chip. You're this ignorant shit like their best player didn't get injured.
Ant is gonna win mvp next year im sold on his rise he’s literally mj the unsung best player in the league
Nobody talking about how evan is having one of the best early defensive playoff runs like 19 blocks in 7 games is insane.
Anyone that thought the sons would work as they are is insane including the GM Trey Bill for solid point guard,A Chris Paul esque would put them in the front runner
Btw t-wolve v Celtics in the finals Celtics 4-2
Ive never heard of Brandon InnGrumm
love the non bleacher report content
we got Chet, Ant man, Joker, Kyrie, Luka and Brunson man i hvnet been this excited in years and no refs trying to push Lebron wins w bogus foul calls
as a Raptors fan this is my favourite playoffs since 2019 Kawaii got kicked out but Pascal and OG are still in it
Nice
Harden signs with Phoenix on a minimum
Too funny - as if wining a ring means anything to him
I looked at the comments before watching so I know Embiid's not here. I'm not even gonna bother doing it.
76ers biase
no kyrie and no mavs makes this list disturbing
no tattoes player are crazy lately
Its funny how you speak about dame but not that choke artist from philly
Bro in your past videos you didn't believe in the knicks HAHAHAHA.
The Winners & Losers are well, the teams that Won & Lost.
James Harden actually had a pretty good post season.
Maybe he was right this whole time, and the team should adopt a harden centric play style.
If I’m the clippers, I’m looking at it like this. Kawhi barely ever turns up for us, so I’m looking to move on from him. PG is inconsistent at best.
Move both of them and go all in on Harden for the last few years of him. It’s probably their best bet as they have no future picks. He’s proven he can do it before in Houston, he just has to take it seriously.
How bout those mavericks?!?!?! Everybody claimed all year that a luka team could not win
Paul george and embiid get passes just like every other year
Well dame didn't want to go to Boston glad he didn't got holiday instead.
Haliburton probably belongs on this list. Led the Pacers to first playoff series win in a decade.
The loser for the bucks should be Doc Rivers
GO 2K SUNS GO!...what was that?! KD requested a trade to the Celtics cause the west is too hard?
No way you didn’t say Tobias Harris isn’t a loser man scored 0 points in a elimination game and was forgotten max player the whole series wtf
Everybody still forget how much he sunk the process for 5 years. 4 rebs while being the second tallest player is unacceptable
I genuinely will laugh everytime I hear someone say Jalen Brunson is a #1 option. Knicks might be finals contenders this year with the East all banged up. But will get washed by whoever they see in the finals.( if they even make it there) lol
Did Ingram show who he really is? Paul George light? Ouch.
Kyrie Irving erasure
Kawhi actually played two games, not one.
Bro no he didn’t🤣
Well technically he played one and half of another
And they lost both games anyway
@@impxrial2271 game 2 and 3 ?????
Was I the only one bothered by how he kept pronouncing Ingram and NOLA 😂
If the Celtics take advantage of the things the Magic didn’t against the Cavs. Celtics should sweep the Cavs
Of course Embiid aint no loser. 🤡🤡🤡
Wheres jamal murray
No Kyrie?
Nola: Trae Young
Atl: Ingram, Hawkins, Murphy 1st rounder.
Who says no?
The lakers..they'll target trae
Way too much fur trae
in what world is trae worth ingram AND murphy?? let alone a first round pick w it, you must be an ATL fan
Embiid is everything the LeBron haters say about LeBron
Trade Mitchell to Lakers for D Lo asap 😅
Derrick White is the biggest winner of round 1…
REALLY.??! No mention of Lebron or the Lakers.? They were a huge disappointment for their fans, the league, and themselves.
Harden a 3 on the team. Was the best clipper through 3-4 games.
Unpopular opinion… loss wasn’t his fault.
Kawhi and PG should be looked at instead
Did those 2 force their way out of a team FOR THE THIRD TIME in FIVE years? Or do they both play on the same team for that entire time? Harden is the one who has to prove something. Forced his way out of Houston, a team that did everything he wanted. Then forced his way out of Brooklyn, cause Kyrie stood up for his godgiven rights. Then forced his way out of Phili, cause... well... no clue. Cause they wouldnt just pay him 200+ mio after he shit the bed in game 6 and 7 of the Playoffs?
This man is a complete playoff choker. He NEVER shows up in critical situations... I hope he finally has to go the Westbrook route. Play for the Tax MLE as a bench piece. Westbrook made his piece with that, lets see if Hardens ego is capable of that! Whoever pays this man more money is just bound to fail, period.
Where is embiid?
Dame 1st round exit the least surprising thing this playoffs
Can't really blame him since he was playing injured and Giannis didn't even play
Cavs in 6
Cleveland should trade DG for BI this offseason
Nah man let DG be
@@Enlightened_SpursFan DG and Mitchell don’t fit together on either end of the floor. If Donovan signs an extension, Cleveland should trade DG for BI, Bridges or someone else who fits better on this roster.
@@JJGray21 Look at the defense them 2 gaurds have been playing in this series tho. they have stepped it up big time for the playoffs, so maybe not all the time in the regular season, but the entire rest of the roster are good defenders so I think thats fine. They been figuring it out more and more. I think THE biggest thing is the off-ball movement of DG when Spida has the ball. That can be resolved with play calls and just encouraging DG to move more. I believe in this team as it currently is built
Westbrook should be in this list , cause these two horrid players didnt even stepped up their games.
So people are just completely counting out the Pacers huh?
Yeah their defense will get merked
Pacers have the worst defense and rebounding team
@@boris2997 They are also at the top of the league in pace, fg %, assists, and points...
@@WesleyNiman KNICKS in 6
@@boris2997 Nice rebuttal..
To put it simply Harden is not a winner, JB is tough, Ant is Himothy, the Phoenix Suns were constructed poorly and are cooked, Celtics got an easy path to the finals, BI is washed, Damian Lillard isn’t as good as he once was, Donovan is playing good.
Won any games because of Harden AND they didnt have Kawhi 😭😭
@@WHITEPERSUAS1ON Harden has no consistency, if there is no consistency then how can he win a a chip. Also Kawhi is always injured that can’t be an excuse for them not to win. They literally played a ton of games without him. Also if the clippers wanted to win they should had utilized their bench more.
Youre such a Salty 76ers fan. PG was so much worse than Harden. Also where is Philly who got bounced in the first round. Embiid was terrible to close games
Embiid played well despite he's playing on one leg. Maxey was amazing but the role players, especially Tobias Harris, just disappeared on them.
Sixth comment!
joel embiid is the biggest losers as far as we all know
First
Lol. This isn't that complicated. All the Phoenix Suns have to do is try to get a center and trade Bradley Beal. The Knicks have 3 centers. They even have one that is out of the rotation that they can get. If I were Phoenix...I would also fire that coach. Why? He's a defensive coach and their defense wasn't all that...was it? Frank Vogel hasn't been great since Indiana except for the year the Lakers won the championship. The Suns should go out and get Mark Jackson. Look how he turned the fast paced Golden State Warriors into a good defensive team without losing their speed and with the team still getting out in transition for buckets.
As for the LA Clippers? James Harden came in the middle of the year. The Clippers had to figure out how to play together when he arrived and then they had to adjust again when Kawhi Leonard was injured. All they need to do is go out and get some shooters to spread the floor.
Yeah trade Beal who has a no trade clause lmao
@@alexescutia4805...So you don't have anything to say about the rest of what I wrote? Obviously I didn't know about his no trade clause. They can trade some of the other guys and still be good if they get a good coach. Look at the ordinary guys that the Knicks have and they're playing okay. The team doesn't need another star. I just figured they could use Beal to get some assets. They can use others to get a center, point guard and shooters.
I wasn't suggesting that anything is wrong with Bradley Beal. What I didn't like was his effort. That would likely change if they get a different coach like: Mike Woodson, Kenny Atkinson or Mark Jackson. I would even try to get Mike D'Antoni. 3 stars that can shoot would be the best team that he's had since Steve Nash, Joe Johnson, Boris Diaw, Leandro Barbosa, etc. If they could go out and get a center (even if young) like Shawn Marion or Amare Stoudemire it would be a team ready made for D'Antoni. And I'm not even a fan of D'Antoni's style.
@@alexescutia4805...Players they can get include: Immanuel Quickley, Quentin Grimes, Caris LeVert, Andre Drummond, Jericho Sims, Klay Thompson, Precious Achiwua, Jordan Poole (a good coach can use him well and his stock is down right now), JaVale McGee, etc. They don't need top players...just those that know their role and can do them.
@@RedSteele8000 so who do you suggest that is of value enough to get those guys that they can trade? And I’ll remind you they don’t got first round picks until 2031 I think. Shit situation I think they’ll have to rely on guys willing to take minimum deals to compete
@@alexescutia4805...Valuable enough? You realize that I listed guys that are basically bench players, role players or aren't even borderline all stars? JaVale McGee and Jericho Sims are basically out of the rotation on their teams. Precious Achiwua barely plays in the playoffs. Andre Drummond and Caris LeVert are afterthoughts on their teams' benches.
I know they don't have picks. They don't need them. I didn't list one superstar, all star or even borderline all star. Also the guys they currently have on the roster aren't on minimum deals...are they? The center they have, for instance, can be traded. He's not bad, but I don't think he fits this team.
But I think it starts with the coach. They need a coach that players will want to play for and who can draw all types of players: Mike Woodson, Mark Jackson, Kenny Atkinson and even Darvin Ham who was just fired by the Lakers. I would even go for Mike D' Antoni though I dislike his unwillingness to teach defense. If you look at the speed his teams usually have, I think that would help Phoenix a lot. Even if they can't run fast, they can pass the ball fast as Jason Kidd did while in a Dallas uniform with Jason Terry and Dirk Nowitzski.
Nba is scripted entertainment y'all break these series down as if they are legit real😂
Embiid the biggest loser
The only reason Clippers won 2 games was because of Harden.
No, because Dallas completely slept through the 1st half of game 1, and then the Clippers AS A TEAM shot 18/29 (62%) from 3 in game 4. Harden was PART of both... but not the main reason!
Ngl Brunson didn’t level up he’s just taking 30 shots a game cause the Knicks have no bench.
Your a salty 🧂 casual
I wouldn’t say that the Celtics are winners considering they don’t have KP for a while.
Because they the best team
Harden is a joke
How are Celtics winners in the first round? They couldn't sweep Miami who had almost everyone injured. Kristaps Porzingis got injured in the process.
You didnt include LeBum Crybaby, and personally it wasnt about the bucks but specifically Choke Rivers,
Bruh the Celtics are the smallest winners, they are by far the best team in the the league and gave up a game to the jimmy-less heat, they have to be the worst team in the playoffs this year
