    He's not playing with a dominant forward or floor spacing 3&D legit BIG man.

    Is that what Tracy said?

    Do people really think the Rockets can get through the WCF and beat the Bucks in a 7 game series with the Harden show?

    Tracy looking like Madea in the thumbnail

    He blushes like a b**** the minute Kobe mentions his name.

    Dude is pathetic.

    They believe it every year...

    Many do not understand the need to diversify the attack... They think its an algebra question where you can just take the best answer and run it out the nth degree and and all the numbers will remain constant... like other teams dont adjust or make changes...

    but then again... MDA has built a career on such beliefs... so theres that...

    lol

    If we are relying on the Harden Show, that means everyone else either got hurt or sucked, so no. I do think we can get past the Bucks in 4-5 games with the Harden Show though. When Harden is on, there is not a player or team that can stop him.

    I think it depends on what you mean by "the Harden show." Do you consider the way we played in the 2018 playoffs to be "the Harden show"? If so I think that can win beat the bucks and win a championship. But I don't think anyone wants or expects Harden to be taking over 30 shots a game in the playoffs. We'll need contributions from everyone, we'll need Gordon to be back to form, Capela will have to step up, House will have to show us he can bring his game to the playoffs, Russ will have to make shots. A lot has to go right, but that's true for almost any team.

    *His style of play can't win him a championship*

    This take is tired. The REALITY has NOTHING to do with style of play. But EVERYTHING to do with QUALITY OF TEAMMATES. Harden, with his style of play almost beat the Warriors. It is about having multiple teammates raise their level of play to help win games. Fred Van Vleet comes to mind.

    No one thought Curry/Thompson's shooting could win a title until they did. And had TEAMMATES to help.

    Says a man who NEVER got out of the first round.

    Has he ever considered doing stand up comedy? If not he should.

    The burden of proof is obviously on Harden winning a championship.

    Not sure how you can see it has "nothing to do with the style of play", just like how you can't make an absolute statement on the other side. It comes down to the team, like you said, but a lot of that is dictated by Harden and his decision making.

    I consider the high usage, the high shot selection and the type of shot selection to be the "Harden show".

    I agree that it comes down to team execution in the playoffs, which is what the point of TMac and Zach Lowe was in my opinion.
