Fine by me. We usually suck on national TV and I have to wait to watch those games until afterward on League Pass.

Why would anyone want Harden? He's washed up. Ever since he disrespected the game by showing up over 300 pounds, he has never been the same.

Theis, TJM, Sheppard and Hield... Who says no?

Harden would want to dominate the ball and Haliburton
would not be happy so no

Harden has played with Russell Westbrook, CP3, Kyrie, Embiid, and KD. All guys that love having the ball. It could work (offensively). Haliburton would certainly like some more talent around, I'd bet. The only issue I'd see is having to re-sign the guy, and betting on him staying in great shape and keeping up his durability.

Haliburton leading the comeback in 3rd quarter.

Also, FIBA officiating is better than NBA

He is currently carrying the team.

Not much rim protection for team USA.

They need to allow this physicality in the NBA

[jrwannabe]

Very nice come back

I'm a Theis fan. Currently our second best center by a wide margin.
