But honestly, is he even wrong? Its obvious that there is no conspiracy or dumb illuminati crap like that but it is true that these writers have pride. Theyve disrespected harden so much and left him off all 3 all nba teams 2 years ago and are trying to keep their pride. They dont want to admit they were wrong about him so they are very opportunistic at putting him down. Have you seen max kellerman getting all giddy with his “i told you so” speeches when harden loses?
But you do care that other posters care. Or else you wouldnt spam the same memes at us all the time for acknowledging that hardens been robbed before
@Os Trigonum has unintentionally legitimized the media conspiracy by going around everywhere posting about it lol.
Methinks you mistaketh the nature of my concern. I do not care that other posters care. Rather, I get tired of other posters' incessant need to vent their care to the world, especially this early in the season. And I estimate conservatively that I only respond to approximately one-fourth (or 25%) of these kinds of posts, which gives you an idea of how many more there must be given that you think I "spam the same memes . . . all the time." Multiply "all the time" by four and I think you will get a sense of what a meme-worthy crisis of epic whinyness we have on our hands. I am simply doing my best to keep the total amount of whiny venting on low boil. But it is alas! a losing cause.
I am personally disappointed in YOU, Mr Knock. As someone who polices and publicly shames the whiners in the game threads, you of all people should appreciate my efforts and respect my art. You are dead to me.

There you have it
Bunch of "Harden has to show up during the playoffs" stuff, and then the last remark was that CP makes Houston way more dangerous. I guess we have to wait until the playoffs to shut em up.
Lemme guess: "harden sux!!! product of the system!!! plays no defens!!! doesn't have the MAMBA MENTALITY (AKA: ISO-bricks for days) the worst playoff choker of all time!!!"
"Do you believe in Harden now?" Funny how ESPN dissects Harden's postseason failures but goes radio silent on Westbrook's atrocious playoff performances--especially those times he shoots his team out of contention during 4th quarters of close games. Harden is only 28 and has never started with another elite star until this season. What's Westbrook's excuse for choking a 3-1 WCF lead on GSW? How many rings does he have? KD had to leave him just to sniff one. What about Kyrie? He's never won anything without LeBron in the EAST but ESPN obviously believes in him. Giannis has proven worthy now, too? What the hell has he done in the postseason? Well, he did sign a lucrative deal with Nike so there's that. Honestly, the criticism on Harden is fair. Just be consistent and measure the value of other players using the same playoff criteria. Of course, we're talking about the entertainment industry so that'll never happen.
Eh max tried to sound unbiased but he is a liar when he says he roots for harden. He said things that are “fair” that I just disagree with. Said harden relied on trickery and isnt athletic enough so when you have time to game plan for him and scout him, then you can stop his fat asthmatic unathletic self. Said he doesnt believe in him in the playoffs lmao. Harden has had some stinkers before but the stereotype is so overblown. Its like they gloss over the times when he has proven he can ball out in playoff games
