We are watching an all-time great in his Prime

And his shot selection is really worst ever...hes just good at making bad bad shots

 

Sick

 

Was about to post this. Good GOD.

It's getting to the point that even I myself may be underrating him.

 

I.D.I.O.M.F.T.

 

The goat

 

Back-to-back? No problem.

An inspired Heat team? No Problem.

Multiple injuries? NO F*CKING PROBLEM.

I mean, he must be hurting but damn did James play out of his mind again today.

Wow.

 

Damn that’s crazy.

He really is the best player in the nba and it’s not even close.

 

There has been only 10 games of 50 and 10 assists games in nba history and HARDEN has 7 of them. Unbelievable. Let that SINK in

 

Please let Harden win a championship before he retires. He's too good of a player to not have one.

 

Harden finna be alone 5th place All-Time.

Keep climbing the ladder, Homie !!!

That's on him. If he played either G6 or G7 last year like he played when everyone got hurt this year....

 

I wonder the thinking of some fans that went into voting no on this topic.

 

easily the 2nd best Rocket of all time...it will be 1 of the biggest tragedies in sports if we’re not able to win a ring with him

we could easily go another 20 years or more before we get another player on this level once his era is over

 

Gary Clark?

 

I think Harden is like Majin Buu, he just absorbs the energy of the players missing and takes on their scoring. I was telling someone before the game he'd probably go for 60 tonight, was 2 points off.

 

James has got to impose his will on teams in the playoffs by taking the ball to the basket iso, pick n roll and in timely positions the step back 3 she be used. He does not need to force the step back the step back must be a punctuation on any runs the Rockets make.

Results:
The numbers might be the same but the psychological effect he has will affect the opponent.

Keeps other teammates as a threat on every possession

It makes the defense make a decision and not take plays off because of the Brilliance of James Harden

 

Great post for all the Harden haters out there. Agree he is the best Rocket ever not named Hakeem.

 

Other players are going to have to make open shots or defenses will clog the lane and take that away and double and triple team him at the 3 point line. It's really that simple. If the supporting cast do their job in the playoffs we can win the whole thing. It's really that simple.
