    If it is in a closeout game, and he visibly quits, no.

    Actual conversation with my cousin

    Me - just his 5th 40pt game in the playoffs but “he chokes”

    Cousin - calm down it’s the first round

    Me - yeah, the playoffs...

    No, the same overemotional morons that wanted to trade him before will want to trade him again.

    It really isnt fair to Jim, but you don't win a championship after one amazing game in the first round. If the Rockets lose in the first round no one is going to give a sh-t how well he did today.

    Harden is going to have to many, many times.

    I remember this all too well with another team i follow. It's only a big game when your team loses. This is why you have to win championships and notice I used plural. They will never like or respect you so just win the whole damn thing until they have to STFU

    The media only remembers his off nights. They will talk about it but will completely forget or ignore it after tonight or tomorrow.

    Yes, the Media and many people will remember it.

    Good thing Harden played some outstanding defense and his passes were on point, and we still crushed them with him playing his most poor night on offense ever.

    Best night for his poorest O, now the kinks are gone, and we get the real MVP from here on.

    His shot may have been off tonight . But he played stellar defense . I'm a person that thinks harden's d has been underrated and his performance tonight blew me away .

    It's hard to knock on Harden when he stayed present/involved. Made some good stops while the dumbasses on TNT were trolling his stat line out of pure boredom. I imagine without CP3, people would be on his ass for not taking the game over with more aggresive, but stupid shots.

    The last time people were excited...those old grainy Rockets years, it seemed like the role players stood up at the right moment and rotated when to do it. Vernon/Kenny/Sam rotating the hot hand. OT doing the dirty work in the post.

    Elie...damn, just realized we unfroze Mario, pumped him up with a cocktail of HGH/some bovine hormones/a sprinkle of pcp and renamed him PJ Tucker. Can't shoot as well but he can plant like a tree.

    But it's only the second game. The city didn't really wake up until the conf finals...

    This is a dumb thought when the team played well. If your MVP is playing bad and your team still beats the other by 20 isn't that a good thing?

    There was a Kardashian in the building last. I guy. There was also one in the building for game 6 against the spurs. Those broads need to be banned from the arena during the postseason

    If you’re gonna bully him for playing bad D and good O. You gotta admit he was playing great D and had an off-shooting night. But we know how the media works. Will rain a lot of hate today i think

    Well I guess your jinx worked, and no one cared. The team won easily.

    Few will remember. Many will claim that they cannot get harden anymore, and besides he is too fat and goes out too much. and will demand Morey trade Harden for picks and young players while Harden's value is still high. We might even get a young player like Karl Anthony Towns, though this typically takes a few top 5 lottery picks to do so,
