I Will Never Trust James Harden again. It's too painful.

We had the better bench tonight but every other player outside of CP3 and Harden shat the bed.

I'll say it over and over again...Iggy had a better shooting night than Ego...how does this happen?

 

I feel you. I’m shook too

 

I’ve accepted that Harden will never win a ring, at least not in Houston.

2018 was our opening. That team was special and had the Warriors on the ropes and would have easily beaten the Cavaliers for a ring. Paul’s hamstring just couldn’t hold up.

The dirty secret about this season was, even if we beat the Warriors, which clearly we never will, we probably lose to the Bucks in the Finals anyway.

 

If you don't trust Harden

Go find your Tristan Thomson

 

Y’all look into stats too much instead of body language harden don’t even be looking interested when games are tight dude is a front runner in the regular season against the magic Knicks or some other inferior teams he would steadily attack but in the playoffs he is super passive when the game is close and curry is dropping 23 in the 4th on ur court ?

 

This the 3rd year harden led team has lost a close out game at home
That spurs debacle
27 missed 3s
And now this

 

Rockets are cursed
Warriors are charmed
Warriors own the Rockets

 

The man can still add a post game if he wants to work on getting even better. I'm glad he's locked up with us. I hope we keep him happy. I would rather that than rebuilding completely.

 

Noticed how decisive Curry and Green were down the stretch, high PnR instantly without any hesitation. Curry had terrible bricks in the 4th too, even had one that hit the top of the backboard, but every time he came back down he just shot it with confidence until he eventually swished everything.

Oh and they ran the play right away without dribbling out half of the shot clock.

 

The issue is talent. If I have to rank top 10 players of GS and Hou, it would be:
1. Durant
2. Curry
3. Harden
4. Green
5. Thompson
6. Paul
7. Tucker
8. Iggy
9. Gordon
10. Capela

To me, we only have 1 top player vs their 4 from top 5 and that makes all the difference in the world.

 

Never will I trust him again. Harden had his chance and absolutely blew it. I'm still in disbelief!

 

Not to mention that they have a MUCH better coach

 

I'm vacationing in Poland and today happens to be the most fitting day to visit Auschwitz.

 

No Durant.

Curry with 0 pt at first half.

Rockets still choke.

We are laugh stock.

 

The things people say to help them cope with a devastating loss.

Nobody on this board had curry being better than harden or looney being better than capela before this series.

The warriors without KD are about the same talent wise as the rockets.

They’re just smarter, well coached, and more mentally tough. and made big shots in big moments and the rockets didn’t.

 

...

 

All summer long you can post BS like this, like a tree falling in the forest of life as everyone else outside Houston moves on to real life.

 

Harden says he knows exactly what to do this summer - I pray it’s involves

1. Running down the floor

2. Moving the ball

3. Playing off the ball

4. Killer instinct

I don’t think he played terrible this series (even though he appeared tired or not to give a flip on many plays) but when the moments came for him to completely take over just felt like we dribbled all of that away, man where is that slit the throat mentality???

For me - next season (don’t feel like watching at all right now) but I don’t care at all about his stats, mvp whatever - I care about him looking to kill - moving the ball - working on the moments where he should be going Thanos on everyone - that’s all I care about.

 

Why do grown ups trust ppl they never met so easily is beyond me.
