    Some teams got better, others worse. That's every year

    All the teams we faced after 2015 were better, the competition was significantly better.

    Kawhi living on the FT line since he's throwing bricks in the clutch = crickets
    Harden = "CHOKER!", "THIS ISN'T BASKETBALL!"

    It's not the fact of the free throws, it's how they get there.

    difference between Harden and other superstars is that they don’t stick around when they’re continuously surrounded with subpar help and/or aren’t able to win a championship in their current situation...they will demand a trade or leave in free agency in order to go and team up with other stars/superstars

    Other superstars = "We get it, they got to try to win somewhere else."
    Harden = "HE'S RUNNING!", "HE COULDN'T HACK IT AS THE MAN!"

    KD's only mistake is where he ran to, otherwise I doubt he wouldn't have gotten as much ****.

    The difference is when other superstars no-show the 4th, they won't get raked across the coals like Harden. And they have all-stars and good roleplayers to bail their asses out.

    I wouldn't blame Harden at all if he asked for a trade this summer after realizing Tilman and Morey will #RunItBack

    Harden had many terrible moments but he has never had an actual all-star level teammate beside him except that one year with Dwight and his bad back.
