Harden 'cooked' Westbrook in Game 1 of the Rockets vs Thunder series | UNDISPUTED

what happened yesterday what will happen in the next two or three months no matter how long the playoffs are has no relation to what happened in the regular season the MVP is a regular season award it is not who did what last year in the finals is not who does what in this year's playoffs or in the finals, if LeBron leads Cleveland to the championship, there will be people saying: "He should have won the MVP, no, this is the regular season and Russell Westbrook had the best regular season." That's what he said yesterday, I mean, Harden, he was fantastic.

It was, oh my god, he controls the pace, his urine only had two turnovers, he fed his teammates, he scored, it's going to look like a jump, well, he was fantastic, he had all the big shots, I mean, the guy It was great, how was it? Oh my god, I was him. from Beatrice, help me, I don't care about you, I saw him eat the tube, that's good, so three in a row, okay, it was one side, we raised the others, a good pressure, they went up 20 thanks to him or me, why that? they are once thanks to Youngman, the guy was a teacher yesterday toughness is a bad boy um I also learned that look, he has a lot more help, you know? and if he was no, he avoided someone.

Patrick Beverley had a cool, you know, made-up kind of job. for the air, Gordon is not hot, yes, but Beverley, this is a pretty decent defensive team in Houston, for Mike D'Antoni's team, they have some good individual defenders, namely Beverley, and you know, climb, oh yeah, and the reason is that he's also a good defender, very good, and they. I have others. I'm Capela Montrezl Harrell and Beverly. There's nothing worse than a small, fast, strong guy who can harass you, that's a pest, yes, and it won't shut down Russell Westbrook, but it will only annoy you.

Hate, yes, I had to do it. wait, yeah, oh my god, you hate that, but the way they have something, yeah, you have a story, yeah, everyone was wondering if it was me breathing because that way, when Beverly resided, so look, I thought that This would be a good

series

and still. mang but I picked Houston and seven I usually felt like that's what I was thinking and look it's her we've seen this happen before where there's a blowout in Game one or even two and then it comes and it's a good

series

, so I'm not going to give up on being a good Mr.

Five, but it could be because the Houston stuff is just a better team and he has a lot more help than Russell Western and a perfect system for his team to keep him alive, but it's over and five, you know I know you and Chris will win, you sure wish you had that vote back, here's the thing I said, unless Russell goes for 35 12 and 12, you have no chance of getting beat , they are the best rebounding team in the NBA is plus six and they outrebounded them by 15, they doubled down on the offensive end and when you get Taj Gibson to give you a rebound and five points, you only get one deeper than 12 with six points and then Stephen.

Adam Stephen Adams got that $100,000,000 on that extension and he came back to New Zealand AC and then you saw him since he signed that dragon stitching card in October because Skip talked about where he only had this minute, he should be ashamed of himself, he's six feet tall tall, weighs 270 pounds and lets Russell Westbrook out rebounding, that's all but the back ninety, yeah, yeah, Levin to Fogg. Steven Adams should thank Westbrook and Durant, yes, that the contract people act like he is about to be a star, a great player because last year no, he had two. of the five best players in the world with him, but who draw all the attention, he is a solid point guard last year, he is a writer and he was a troublemaker and a villain, and it is as it should be here that you have two stars, yes, be the Same thing since Draymond's kick, you think that might have something to do with it since Draymond kicked him, it had been slightly.

I think a hundred million had something to do with it because now he's resting on his laurels, but I don't even recognize it. I don't know who he is, he's a different guy, but before you come to me, here's what Chris, do you think Ryan Anderson and Trevor Ariza are going to score eight points between them again? You are there, in the middle, Igor. He played well, but Beverly won't go for 21 either. No, more like, it was once a career-high in the playoffs, so let's say he gets 10, but Louie, at some point, yeah, you know Lou Williams and Eric Gordon They are going to explode. when they skip hmm best team so I want to thank you both for making Russell Westbrook's MVP case so loud here because at the last stop he yelled that he's m-v-p because he doesn't have anywhere near the supporting cast that James has Harden in Houston.

He doesn't even have the perfect system. I have just mentioned the perfect system for all its attributes. What if he kills? Oh, don't shoot as much as you want when you want a perfect fit that would work if Westbrook was in. In the D'Antoni system, Dan Tony would go off when he has the right personnel man, Russell, he has to listen to how we are going to do this and he would have to accept how we are going to attack or hello. but he could and I'm okay with repeating, he's very good once you figure he could average 15 assists in the D'Antoni system with all those snipers, but what disappointed me the most was why this

game

became so hard to see in the third.

The fourth is that Russell's inferior supporting cast didn't come to play last night like you could at least show up and show some physicality and some fight and they just didn't fight, they got rocked on the back boards in the paint spots in the paint. second chance points it was devastating what a team that doesn't have Dwight Howard anymore, you know, it's like I felt like Dwight was out there, right? Clint Capela is doing this to you, who saw Ryan Anderson, a three-point shooter, had 12 rebounds? Patrick Beverley, who is listed at 6 1. I stood next to him, he's about 6 feet and this is a guy who bounced around the Russian leagues, the Greek leagues and the D-League and like I told Shannon, he I know him and he cares a lot. every second, he appreciates every second on an NBA playoff court and he gave them grit and energy and he was on Russ's jock from the star and then I thought the turning point of the

game

was you want to talk about Manning, he shook to the bones. that photo with 831 left in the third quarter and he got up and complained about it and complained?

No, he got up doing this like he got me and I'm going to get him back and he came back on boom three and he came right back. down boom three and the game opened up because it was a two point game at the time so I hand it to Patrick Beverley for showing guts and energy and fighting that I didn't see from any of the Thunder Taj Gibson he gets one rebound 20 how does that happen yes, yes, it can't happen, yes, you have a chance that they are the number one team in rebounds and when you get bounced by the Houston rocket, you make a tune of 15, they double you on the offensive glass. 14 to 7 and you're going to lose your one and only Russell was attacking the glass ferociously and wishing there weren't any little false bounces yesterday, he knows going up there it's going to bounce, yeah, and here's the scariest part by far, the second one.

The best offensive player on Oklahoma City's roster comes off the bench and his name is Ennis Kanter. Yes, he can play little to no defense, especially if you get stuck in the pick and roll against James Harden and got embarrassed three times and guess what he got? They pulled him out and he played a total of 16 minutes last night when he needs to play 30 minutes because Billy Donovan said I can't leave him out there on pick and rolls, but we're going to have to go back to the drawing board and fix our pick and roll or we didn't have a chance and that's because they were playing the three as hard as they could plan, you didn't shoot very well from three, standards, but the paint is like open season, just go to the rack when I saw why Oklahoma again, a your point, why Russell's MVP needed every triple-double he gave them.

They need him to get a triple-double every night they were there. That's why they had 33 and 9 with him and indecipherable doubles. His partner withdrew. 26 with hot gun single bullet Depot gave him like triple 0 1 out of 21 out of 12 you're kidding and more than 6 out of 3 they can't win like that if they don't have like the playoffs is when you see what you have I know you're kind of a cast and they are not there, PE is their other four starters for Oklahoma City, their PE is the regular season was the worst among the supporting cast on the sheet at Russells was long, yeah, but that's it, but jump guys.

This is not earth-shattering news, they have been like this all year, which is why we say Russell was the MVP, no, but James Hardy did it without the help. I'm not okay with NASA, yeah. Oh I love it. Look. you do it you do it with skip they win the games they play well suddenly they lose no help no no they won those games I don't see they are good players Steven Islands Taj Gibson old men are what they are but they are not Lou Williams they are not Aaron Claridon role player wait on air Gordon was a star caliber player with six healthy he just never got to say hello he'll be the sixth man here sit still you know you know he's still young he just never been able to stay healthy now that he's healthy Shane Williams sang the big song six last night are you willing to finally admit that Russell James is tough, come on, make it harder, toughen it up,

cooked

it tough? "I

cooked

last night and I may have a better series, but that doesn't negate what happened in the 80 tons.

You'll have a better one. I told you what was going to happen. LeBron will be the best player in the playoffs, I probably won't." Doesn't mean he should have gotten the MVP, remember in '95 when they gave the MVP to Hakeem Olajuwon? Yes, David Robinson, what did he do to you?
