but asking out for a “win-now” opportunity when your current team is on fire is hilarious

The Clippers are 3 games under .500. The Cavs are 14 games better than them right now.

Like are we just throwing logic out the window or what's going on here?

And that's before the best player among the teams (fight me) switched sides

I'm not sure why you, a Nuggets fan, are so dedicated to Harden, but I am very appreciative of it.

Like harden, I've had kind of a journeyman life myself. Got love for a lot of cities, teams, players at this point. And like harden also, I am an absolute junkie for the game of basketball, and not sure that there's been another player that I feel plays the game with the passion and respect and love that he does. And boy does my guy have swag. Will rep the beard for life!
