00:03 Harden has made the Clippers so much better.

00:06 It's freed up Kawhi, PG, Zubats is a free.

00:10 I like everything about that team except the fact and

00:13 even their coaching I love Lou.

00:15 And I loved him the other night when he was looking for the ref and

00:18 he wanted to beat up the ref after the game.

00:20 I like everything about that team except the black cloud diner that is James

00:24 Harden in the postseason.

00:26 Every team he's on goes down hard in the playoffs.

00:28 He never wins anything.

00:29 What is the problem with this guy in the postseason when he's so

00:33 great in the regular season?

00:34 I don't care what anybody says, the guy never gets it done.

00:37 No, I agree with you.

00:38 Now, I think this is the perfect team for him, right?

00:41 Because now, you know, and this shouldn't be the case because you had

00:44 Darryl Mory a couple of years ago.

00:45 Now, I don't agree with Mory's assessment, but he said he was the greatest

00:48 offensive player of all time, right?

00:50 And if you're the greatest offensive player of all time, you should be able

00:52 to be the number one on a playoff team that goes deep into the postseason.

00:56 Not only could Harden not be the number one,

00:58 he can't be the number two.

01:00 He's proven that because he played with the MVP last year and they fell

01:03 flat on their face.

01:04 But he can be the number three.

01:06 This is the first time where he goes into a postseason and he's their third

01:10 scoring option.

01:11 So, if he disappears again, guess what?

01:13 You still have Kawhi.

01:14 You still have Paul George.

01:15 That's why I think this team, like you just said, is set up to make a deep

01:18 run.

01:19 It's because they're protected against Harden struggling and not showing up

01:22 in the postseason because they've got two players that are better than him.

01:25 He's never played with two players that are better than him.
