Isiah Thomas DESTROYS FAKE NBA Expert Over The Houston Rockets!!!

[@johnsicard6461]

Chronicles said Isiah Thomas looking at Molly like he about to pour bbq sauce on her 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I’m dying

[@plainsimple244]

This was a very disrespectful interview by both Max and Stephen A. Smith.... You don't have a great Hall of Fame player with all of those accomplishments and intelligence while asking him to analyze basketball... then you fight, argue, and debate him and don't allow him to speak but every little thing he points out with facts, you argue?.... These two (Max & Stephen A.) are inappropriate when it comes to respecting a guest of this status.

5 ways to score beats 3 ways to score almost every time

[@robertvujasic8945]

What these analytics idiots never mention is that missed shots lead to def.rebounds, which against the most teams in the league leads to fast breaks. So if 4 threes give you 12pts, and 6 2pointers give you 12 points also, shooting only 3s gives the opposing teams up to 20 fast break opportunities per 100 posessions. And long shots result in long rebounds, so it's easier to run a fast break if you're closer to the opponents basket when you grab a defensive rebound. When you add predictability that Isiah talked about, and that it takes more out of your legs when you shoot long jumpers,you get a perfectly reasonable explanation why the Rockets missed 27 straight 3s in game 7, and why it's ultimately easier to guard them in a best-of-7 series.

[@boogieloo1831]

Robert Vujasić - exactly. Fundamental basketball. Today teams don't care about controlling possessions.

[@Solomonreborn]

Perfect. Well said

[@nosuitsgiven]

They didn’t even play Fareed in the Play offs. They just kept throwing Capela’s sorry ass out there. I was so disappointed.

[@fredrickprice7224]

I have to agree with you for the most part the only thing Capela is consistent at is the Ally oop..

[@nosuitsgiven]

Fredrick Price he was non-existent in the play-offs. He was actually a detriment to the team.

[@fredrickprice7224]

@@nosuitsgiven Absolutely 💯

[@dominiquejones3805]

They had a deep roster if utilized correctly they had the pieces 2 defeat the Warriors. That lack of awareness killed them

[@boogieloo1831]

MJ averaged 37.1 in '87. He had a shit and I mean shit team. And that era was much tougher to score in.

[@pjmills4866]

And He Was 1st Team Alldefense

[@mikegatt76]

An even more impressive stat is that MJ scored 3,047 points and while only making 12 three-point shots. 2% of Jordan's points that season came from three point range compared to James Harden 2,818 points while making 378 three pointers which made up 40% of hardens points. To put that into perspective Harden Attempted 1,028 three pointers compared to Jordan's 62 three point attempts. That's insane to think that Jordan scored 229 more points that Harden while taking 966 less three pointers. MJ was a fucking monster on court in a big man era.

[@percybedford6266]

Harden is basically Gilbert Arenas part 2. A high volume inefficient scorer that will have an outlier game that masks what he really is.

[@trowabarton321]

Or Melo. Except at least with Melo he has dignity in his game. Dont recall him flopping, or complaining to the media about the refs or anything like that.

[@nostalgicbliss5547]

Arenas was pretty clutch though lol. Plus his game was way more exciting to watch than Hardens.

@Assane Keita as a Rockets fan Curry is living in the Rockets head rent free... Warriors have defeated the Rockets in the playoffs in 4 of the last 5 years... 2015 WCF Finals Rockets should've won Games 1 and 2 but Harden choked... 2016 Rockets goofed by firing McHale... 2018 and 19 Rockets should've won both series but Harden choked...

[@ItzBlackace]

cmoneyno5 You mean MDA not going deep into the bench playing faried, CP3 and Capela being no shows for the most part, and Gerald Green taking low iq shots and shooting more than Eric Gordon. Harden turned the ball over down the stretch, and missed free throws, but you can’t blame it all on him.

[@Chan6th]

It'z Blackace thank you. Dantoni always goes into panic mode when shit gets tight and drastically shortens his rotation.

[@cmoneyno5]

When Isiah Thomas talks whether I agree with him or not I listen. The basketball IQ that guy has is unsurpassed and he's a legend in the sport. Max Kellerman would have done himself well to just listen but hey it's a debate show so I can see why he felt like he had to respond.

[@willwomack7048]

We all know a dude who plays like harden at the park😂

[@gregorylagrange]

you so right. Everybody gets cold while they spend all their time watching him play slow ball. Then when the game gets close towards the end, nobody else can hit a shot when he finally makes a pass. And he usually only passes because he doesn't want to be responsible for missing the shot that could win the game.

[@QdaChosenOne23]

@ around 15:00 ish let me pause to chime in real quick.. that style of play the nba is currently using is trickling down through the various levels.. there is no more nuance in Basketball games anymore.. people watch these summer leagues .. all they are doing is lil fast breaks, a flashy move, one pass for a dunk, lay up, or shot.. and people think its functional Basketball.. highschool players play under the whistle games like its one big john wall youtube highlight video.. get the rebound, go full court, one or two moves and a pass or a quick score.. they completely block out any other aspect of basketball.. shits hella sloppy and what not.

[@hearoisrael2814]

Judah bro, Isiah didn't beat Magic out brother, they both were all NBA 1st team from 1983-84 to 1985-86. It's like how we'll see LeBron & KD or Malone & Barkley both get all NBA 1st team. It can be 2 PGs just like 2 PFs. Actually Larry Bird an Bernard King was apart of 2 all NBA 1st teams with Magic & Isiah, Dominique Wilkins & Larry Bird was on the other. It would make sense to do it PG SG SF PF C but as long as it's 2 guards they can both be PG or SG it doesn't matter same with both forward positions.

Yea they tell them don't take the mid range shot because they're not playing or preaching defense if you're going to defend then two's add up to a win but they don't so they throw up all these brick three's....people still haven't figured out that what steff and clay do that's so great is there three's create space for easy buckets because you have to go out to them

Isaiah is talking to a brick wall Man if you had a Rip Hamilton to go along with James Harden the rockets would be deadly or Kyrie Kemba Kawhi Players that can score in the paint besides just Harden If Capella had game around the basket besides just getting a lob pass It would make everything easier And cause the defense to have play the whole court instead of just guarding the 3 point line

Max..why?.. paradoxical offense is what diantoni runs... lazy without structure, but yet more strain on concentration of the three point shot at peak levels..
