It's all about help. Harden played extremely poor in this playoff game, not the entirety of the playoffs.
People who want to blow the team up and trade Harden are honestly dumb as sh*t. This could be his 07 Dirk moment. The next couple of years will define his legacy. Dirk was soft and a choker before he won his 1st ring, and after that he was seen as a winner. Clutchfans would've ran him off and wanted him shipped out after choking a 2-0 lead in the finals and then losing to an 8th seed the very next season.
dirk and lebron lead teams to the finals. harden can't even lead a team past patty mills & jonathan simmons
And far from winning the game, just losing by a cool 39 while showing no heart or effort. Just like Jordan alright.......
he shot 42% from the field and 28% from behind the arc with 5.3 turnovers a game before tonight. that damn sure isn't playing well. he's been poor more than he's been good.
No, James Harden is one of the top talents in the NBA. Not one of the top players. He's is a stat stuffer. But UNTIL he shows heart to play big when it counts, he's just talented.
@Mathrocker we will come out on the other side of this. Might as well deflect my anger toward harden and this team to something else. Who is down to get shitfaced and go bash on some dudes in the lin thread?
Yep, this is thanks to teams focusing their entire defense on stopping him. I wonder if they could do that if he had a Pippen caliber player next to him..
just like durant beating harden without westbrook when harden had a better team/ http://www.basketball-reference.com...onference-first-round-rockets-vs-thunder.html
Yes, one of the top talented players but brainless and zero heart. So he ranks about position 800 in the best players list.
parsons that year was better than any player on the thunder outside of durant. and asik was the best center that series.
James Harden = very talented, no heart, shrinks in big moments, going back to days with OKC, Olympics, and all-star games. Go back and see for yourself. A guy we want to believe in, just doesn't have that killer trait. I thought this post season was different, until this series.
