    I mean, he was struggling...I hope game 2 ends up being his worst game of the playoffs by far

    Both Paul and Harden were testing the waters in games 1 and game 2. They just wanted to see how bad they can suck and their team would still win in the playoffs.

    James Harden had 12 points, 7 assist, 4 rebs, 3 steals, 3 blocks

    These are stats that if Rondo had people would be gushing over.

    That aside he really did step up and do the little things for the team. How can you even say it was a bad game when he’s got 12 pts and 7 assist

    People just wanna hate harden and at times people except so much out of him because he’s that good

    I'm thinking it has something to do with the fact that he went 2-18 from the floor. I mean, only one player in NBA playoff history has attempted more field goals when making only 2 of them. But, aside from that, he was awesome.

    He had the highest game score despite shooting like crap. He found other ways to contribute, plus the attention he got made things easier for everyone else.

    Most importantly, he got the W. Most of the players on that list didn't.

    Off shooting night is an understatement .

    Look, it's okay to admit he had a bad game .

    you could see it in his demeanor that he was really keyed in on contributing defensively, the focus in his eyes.

    I heard LeBron James and Karl Malone were pretty good. Nice top 3 honestly, lol.

    I still disagree, he had a bad shooting night which he turned into a decent game with assist and defense

    Harden was passing the ball well and creating a ton of great fast break points. His defense was fantastic as was His playmaking. His shooting was off but he made up for it in other areas.

    Lol never harden hater

    7 out of 8 fts 8 assists 3 steals 3 blocks and a 20 point blowout win

    Act like no hofer has missed that much in a PO game. Other HOFers has missed more shots in the later rounds/elimination games and lost
