It's clear he hasn't even watched the Rockets since Lin left. Harden really stepped up his defense this year.
Thats not amazing. What is amazing is people implying that there is something else going when he turned into a 2nd or 3rd stringer on his team (once again). I am sure his 32% FG for an entire month had nothing to do with it.
I'm sorry. I did not mean to imply that there was something else going on. I was trying to say there was something else going on. My apologies for being unclear when I said "There was other stuff going on there."
I don't get where people are getting the whole 3rd, 4th, and I've even heard 5th string point guard for the Lakers. Wasn't he the backup for Jordan Clarkson and he even ended up starting the last month or so? I may be wrong cause I didn't watch the Lakers much but I don't even recall the Lakers having more than two PGs.
That's why Ellis scored 16 points, 24 points, 34 points, 31 points, 25 points in those 5 games of playoffs right?
You really have no clue what you are talking about. It's like having someone say "Blue!" and think it was a really good insult. Please stop.
A year ago, Monta Ellis, against the Spurs in playoffs scored 29 points in two different games, along with two games of 21 points and 20 point. Who was the terrible Spur defender guarding him? Newsflash: Good NBA scorers score! Blueshampoo taken to the cleaner yet again.
Lol, the amount of trolling on both sides on this forum is just simply amazing, no wonder this thread manage to last this long. Some of yall really need to have more interesting lives.
Lin fans aren't basketball fans dude, how many times do I need to tell you this? You seriously think they care about wins and losses? They only care about the 'perceived' glory of Lin Everything they say is irrelevant
You know how many shot attempts Monta Ellis took in each game to get to those numbers? It was a Kobe-like amount of shot attempts. C'mon man do some research before making these claims
harden guarded monta ellis? Im pretty sure i saw Ariza on him most of the time, but that might just be the visual illusion created by actually watching games
LOL at delusional LOFs hatin on Harden thinking he's the reason why Linsanity 2.0 never happened with the Rockets Bet you losers are mad hatin on this guy too
^^^ LOL...actually they are. They were after the poor guy the whole time he was playing and taking away Lin's minutes. There goes their theory of Lin being held back because he is Asian.
Let me explain it to you in simple layman terms First, he was going to be a back up to Nash until Nash was out for the season and Lin got to start fortuitously - so Lin = 2nd String PG Next, he lost his starting job to career journeyman scrub, Ronnie Price - so Lin = 3rd strin PG Next, Jordan Clarkson overtook both of them to the starting spot - so Lin = 4th string PG And as Clutch aptly put it for a brief moment there when the Lakers drafted D'Angelo Russell - Lin fell to 5th string PG
