This is true lol all the haters say is "Well Kobe had 62 in 3 qyrs too" or "Klay did it without ball hogging" but I haven't seen anyone saying he couldn't do it. Also, I can 100% guarantee that if Harden wanted to come in MDA would just be like "whatever go ahead" but it's just not what people do in that situation.
I'd rather see 80+ point explosions at the decline of his career. Right now a chip should be the only thing he goes all out. I'm also sure other teams are less likely to f' him up in the fourth to not be Jalen Rose'd
MDA totally hates Harden. I heard that he was growing his mustache back out because he wants to twirl it like a supervillain after pulling Harden from a game with 80 points.
I think that’s the problem though. If Harden puts up 60 in 3 quarters, his team will almost always be up by a HUGE amount because of his efficiency. Kobe was so inefficient that the other team was generally close, and thus he could stay in the game longer.
That's a great point. The Rockets 3-point heavy attack is another thing. If Harden is scoring a lot of points, he is probably shooting and making a lot of threes. A 3-point heavy attack makes it less likely you'll be in a close game.
