    50% of trolling is about timing, and yours is really bad given the team's record, place in the standings, and the beat down they just laid on the Suns. And considering that the other 50% of trolling is wit, you should probably call it a night.

    Then tell Harden to not turn the ball over 7 times in three quarters against Suns (no) defense next time. Because I actually think that is more pathetic than struggling against elite match ups.

    So, how many turnovers can Harden average per game to where it will make the Rockets instant favorites to win the championship this year given his current supporting cast?

    He's also on pace to averaging 27 points per with 12 dimes. Plus a good shot at leading this team to 50+ wins again. So what is your point again.

    Dude Harden is going to continue to have a high turnover rate. We all know that but he's also improved on several other facets of his game. No player in the NBA is perfect either, especially those that handles the ball the majority of the time. Westbrook and LeBron turns the ball over a lot too.

    with lousy shooting percentages.

    Harden's turnovers mostly result from careless passing and lack of ball security, even more so than Westbrook or Lebron. 9 against Memphis, 7 against Suns in 3 quarters. It's not the opponents' defense causing this, it's Harden playing just lazy.

    3 seed in the West.
    Single digits in the loss column headed into the new year.
    The ignore feature is glorious.
    It's lit.

    Is it okay to mock them and call them stupid?

    Because if someone thinks that a TS% > .600 is lousy...

    Harden TS% against top 10 defense : 49.8%

    Harden TS% against bottom 10 defense : 61.9%

    Basically padding his numbers against weak teams, while playing absolutely horrendously against elite teams.

    Story of James Harden this season.

    show me another player who averaged 6 tov per game, because I can show you a lot of players who averaged 11~12 assists per game.

    I tried to get the attention of the cameras for my Splash Gordon sign but I couldn't succeed. At least I don't think so. Then the second I let my girlfriend hold the sign, Eric Gordon himself takes notice and waves hello over at us at least twice during the game . Anyway, a lot of fun energy in the arena today . I managed to get a pic with Bullard but I was soo excited I didn't notice how blurry it was ! Great game .[​IMG]
