Harden had a good game, not a great game. 31 points is 5 above his season average. We win this game not because Harden scored 5 more points, but Asik, Garcia, Beverley, AB, Kevin Martin, etc played great and the Thunder didn't have Westbrook. Can't take too seriously about fans comments on players. Some are really stupid.
Every three he took was the same as the ones he's been taking, iso step back in someone's face. You're just seeing what you want to see.
he had a great game. he shot 7/9 from the 3 point land and most of these shot were well contested. Obviously I don't expect him to continue this kind of hot shooting.
but he did do a better job of letting the game come to him, but I think that had more to do with Beverley and Brooks being aggressive than Harden.
Lol. He took a bunch of iso ball shots. Nearly all his 3s came from iso. What's your definition of iso; missing?
Maybe for everyone else but not for Harden. He is one of the most efficient scorers. The bottom line is, Rockets win this game because Garcia scored 8 points more than his season average. Asik 11 points more. Beverley 8 points more. Martin 11 points less. Westbrook 24points less.
Criticism and Hate is a fine line that a lot of Clutchfans over step that leads to all these knee jerk threads. I was never a big Lin or Mchale fan but find myself having to defend them a lot to other Rockets fans.
yeah For sure. He stepped up his game at the most crucial game of the year. The Thunder can't compete with our Guards. They are toast unless they figure out an adjustment.
Harden had a great game tonight. When he shoots a high percentage he tends to make good decisions. I would like to see if he can still do the right thing (move the ball and himself, put energy in defense) if he has a bad shooting day.
Seriously? One good game out of 5 suddenly makes him not overrated? If he can consistently play like he did tonight, then obviously he wouldn't be considered overrated...
Except criticism does not equal hate, so I don't know if you're going to get the satisfaction you want op lol. You don't honestly think half the people on this board were mad that Harden played well, when that's what we want him to do? Also doesn't erase the crap games he had, we react to his progression from game to game, nothing wrong with that. It makes you look like an HOF if anything else, oh well another OF to the ignore list, cause that's how you do it.
You should stand in front of a mirror and read your last sentence. To say Harden didn't have a great game is absurd
I don't think there are any real harden haters. Most of us are just knee-jerk harden haters, which is a big difference. But anyways, we would not even be above .500 if it weren't for harden. And look at us now, half way to history.
But is he better than Cousins and PPat? Seriously though, to the people here saying that there weren't any haters and just people fairly criticizing his game, you couldn't be more wrong. The anti-Harden knee jerk threads after game 4 were full of legit, full-on Harden haters.
