Love this shit! James Harden is LOCKED in:

After the game he’s yelling at guys to get back in the locker room because it was only one win:

This dude wants to win so badly. He knows this is his best shot to win a title and change his legacy forever.

What a perfect turn of events after two ESPN reporters openly mocked him on This Just In before the game. Listen to this chud Nick Friedell totally dismiss a future Hall of Famer like he’s some cast-off nobody. The funny thing is this guy covers the Brooklyn Nets for ESPN. He covered Harden for 1.5 years. He knows how he can just come alive at a moments notice:

45 points right in your grill. God, it’s amazing. Call me crazy, but I think they can get game two. This isn’t the same Celtics team that beat up on us in years prior. Joe Mazzulla can’t coach like Brad Stevens and Ime Udoka. Did you see that play they drew up at the end of the game? Jayson Tatum’s last basket came with 11 minutes in the 4th. Jaylen Brown didn’t have a field goal in the last six. Al Horford is getting pick-and-rolled to death:

We have the reigning Defensive Player of the Year not even fighting over the screen and leaving Horford on an island late in the game:

 

There’s no adjustment. No realization from the staff that “hey we should maybe call a play for our best player in the 4th.” And the short-handed Sixers are basically the ’95 Bulls.

Top-15 for a reason folks:
