Harden needs to show the world he's the MVP

fify

 

Nah he doesn’t usually blow up after games where people talk bad about him or embarass him. He tends to blow up in unexpected games where he has a good 1st quarter.

I expect him to have something like 27 6 and 6 while shooting 8/19. Next game will have to be a collective team effort.

 

to be honest, i don't see it happening, just hope everybody can step up like Game 2, nobody can do it alone, to beat this GS team, every single body has to step up, hopefully, we die fighting, rather than giving up like tonight

 

It wouldn’t hurt if his supporting cast
were on “durants level” these next few games either.

 

SI's Ben Golliver....

 

He needs to play well but he doesnt need to drop 35 and 10 or anything. We need to win as a team.

 

According to many here, Harden has done his job already.

Harden's legacy is on the line.

 

@vlaurelio is @tinman being critical of Harden? how does this make you feel?

 

His game is too dependent on the ref's mood. He's clearly different when he doesn't get the calls for obv hacks.

When that happens, he should attack the middle and run plays from there like G2. Yesterday's game in the 2nd half was turrible. He clearly deferred but didn't move off the ball to help bail out the other team's traps.

Ofc, no one else did that when the offense stalled and the ballhandler was stranded, but he should lead by example on that front. Ariza and Ego can be trash TO machines, but if there were 2 HOF decoys to make their jobs easier, it helps free up the offense for the pet plays James loves.

It's like he gets cranky without his comfort food pet plays.

 

I agree, but it's also annoying that there is no consistency in the officiating from one game to the next.

 

Shades of San Antonio game from last year

 

This x100.... harden can totally adjust his game based on consistent refereeing. Problem is when the refs give calls on one end and then harden goes and plays a style conducive to those calls and gets boned

 

OH MY GOD MY FRIEND WHO JUST STARTED WATCHING BASKETBALL SAID THIS SPORT SUCKS HE GOT TIRED OF SEEING FREE THROWS AND SAID IF THATS WHAT DECIDES THE GAME LOL ...WAS IT PLAYOFFS OR REGULAR SEASON GAME ...SPECIALLY DURANT GETS ALL TOUCH FOULS WOW HOW DO PUT DEFENSE

 

Lol you just posted why we lost. We have 1 guy producing offensively. They have 3

 

@SamFisher assured me that Harden won't be "sick" tomorrow.

 

I know everybody was trash, but he looked like a deer in headlights the whole game 3. Especially when he let old knees Shaun Livingston cross him and go behind the back for a dunk. If you let Shaun Livingston do that you’re in the nba you should be taken behind a wood shed and shot.

 

By all means necessary
