    nah in the halfcourt, was mostly Parsons on him.

    The team as a whole had terrible transition defense.

    Lin had a bunch of errant passes and got stripped a few times that led to fast breaks for Brewer.

    Asik did a terrible job protecting the rim. Brewer euro stepped him at least 5 times for layups and &1's.

    But i get it, you hate Harden and will blame everything bad on him. Not many players could have carried that team to the Western Conference playoffs that year.

    They followed their leader ;)

    False. You don't get it. I don't hate Harden nor do I blame everything on him.

    Asik was a Top 5 rebounder in '13. I don't recall any team in history with a Top 5 rebounder and a Top 10 scorer missing the playoffs. And it's safe to assume all 10 scorers outplay James on the defensively end. So, minimum, 20 other players could have done it.

    Props to Harden, though. Hopefully his recent play continues.

    What an obscure and useless statistic. You guys have reckless fun with stats.

    With all due respect, bull****. If a player, any player, is a dime from getting a triple double, and it's a game you are winning, of course your teammates are going to try and help you complete the trifecta. Honestly, the lengths some of you go to in order to find something negative to post about Harden is absurd.

    Post ONE of those several examples.

    Apoligize for not following the conversation*.

    In '13, Rockets weren't a #2 seed nor a CF participant.


    *actually, you didn't need to follow anything. 2013 is in the exact post you quoted.

    Been saying this for years. Stats are good, but they have ruined this board in a sort of way.

    Stats are fun, along with being informative.

    As much as the sports cliché, "can't compare eras", is said, why not make arbitrary date cutoffs? The cutoff is preventing era-comparison ;)

    What this stat tells me is 1) Yao wasn't a First Tier dominant player 2) Harden (with effort) is capable of First Tier 3) Rockets-Harden is probably better than Rockets-McGrady
