    Wasn't Kellerman a closet Rox fan?

    So they are playing switch defense - SAS is defending Harden now.

    Choker? When was Harden's team the favorite to win a championship?

    Think Dirk.

    Epic playoff failures... then, finally win.

    Do Dirk, James.

    people call him a choker for not winning game 7 last year o_O

    Harden should’ve had at least 40 in game 7, but the crooked refs took away 10 potential points

    Harden a choker? Wake me when AD, kyrie, PG13, Russ, Jimmy butler, Giannis, KD, carries a team to 2 conference finals pretty much with no consistent help. Also that first team with several guys not even in the league anymore. GTFO. Tired of these non sense hot takes!

    All he's doing is protecting Lebron. James Harden's having a better season than Lebron, he's also upstaged him every time they play. Anybody who's a threat to Lebron they slander

    Media has an odd contrivance with Harden

    He's criticized for having "too much help" one year with no All Stars, then not beating the greatest team ever assembled.

    It's strange. Nobody else in the league receives that kind of double standard. But it is what it is. Harden's legacy will always be tainted due to the media's slant against him.

    Some of y'all kill me. This dude has a history of not showing up on the big stage since his OKC days. I won't count last year but getting your **** pushed in by a Spurs team by 39 at home without their best player is a choke job period!!! I understand Harden is all you guys have to look forward to but the fact remains dude choked in 2017 and until he wins something that is going to hover over him.

    If you can find another word for coming up short frequently in postseason.

    I dun like the word choking either.

    He wasn't the favorite to win it yet the team had HC advantage, a key injury, missed 3s and refs whistling whatever they wanted.
