One of the few objective media panels out there. Pierce, Billups, and Jalen give Harden and the Rockets their deserved props while offering constructive criticisms. And they reign in Beadle's nonsense.
Its funny to me when people say Harden hasnt shown up in the playoffs. The Rockets before harden hadn't been to the WCF in 20 years. Thats right 20 years, they have been there twice since getting Harden. No its not winning a chip but Harden has always been a one man show since coming to Houston no help. You look at Curry he has always had two or more all stars and so has Durant and so has Lebron. Lebron never wins unless he has two other all stars. The one time Harden all most went past WCF with Houston is because he had CP3 but CP3 got injured. So this whole playoff collapse thing is nonsense. You have to look at what he's asked to do and what his teammattes can do and who he plays against. How they compare Harden in the playoffs is not at all fair.
Thank you! This is the same **** i have to say to idiots out there that keeps claiming that Harden collapse etc in the playoff. GTOH, without Harden we wouldn't even be in the playoff. He has always been a one man show and in the playoff we're playing against team that should be there and teams with multiple star players & like you had mentioned, that schmuck curry was build in a team that had multiple all stars (props to their gm). Lebron we know what's up, he hops around to round up guys to play w/ him. Durant, aka snake. say no more about him. If any of them replace harden.. they would not have carried the team as far as Harden did. Harden didn't fail in the playoff he was only loosing to teams that should beat us because Rockets was always a one man squad.

Lets talk about how all but Pierce dismissed Harden as one of the MVP front runners prior to the game. They still don't get under my skin like the TNT crew thou
Putting the ball in the basket is a hard thing to do. The National Media has always had an excuse to marginalizing the Houston Superstars especially the Rockets. Dream with thru it. James has got to do what Dream did win the CHIP. We need one more bonafide 3-D player though.The way things look we might just have to find somebody else out of the G-league
He also said on a talk show two days ago that Harden travels on his stepback 3 like Curry did every time. F Rose.
