LOOL, ok so Kevin Durant is just some nobody, got it. Just want to get that cleared up that Kevin Durant is just some lanky dude that is lucky to play ball.
Problem with Harden is he probably thinking about how the girls are like in the strip club that night rather than focus 100% on the game like Kawhi
Are there people that seriously think the Rockets beat the Warriors (the rockets went up against) with Kawhi swapped out for Harden? Remember this is Without Nurse, Lowry, Siakam, Ibaka, VanVleet, and Gasol. And the warriors will have durant for a few games, with a healthy looney, and a healthy klay.
The team has too many issues: 1. The owner doesnt want to pay luxury tax. 2. Our coach MDA doesnt coach at all. 3. Morey likes some players that other team cut or not wanted. He likes midgets players. 4. The team not taking mid range shots is the most stupid for me. Basketball god will punish Rockets. 5. Harden always invisble in clutch moments... 6. Our midgets starter is disaster on rebounding. This is just not an elite team for championship.
Honestly rather have Harden, everybody forgets that Kawhi quit last year and since he never communicated why he was so upset, it derailed their season
All I can say is Raps are not squandering their chances like the Rockets. Rocket should have beat GSW this year with CP3 and Clint playing badly and MDA being out coached. If I could get my pocket Flux Capacitor out and go back in time to get last year's Rockets, No I don't think this year's Raps are better than last year's Rockets. That doesn't matter at all though.
I get being frustrated. Nothing more that i want than Harden to win us a chip but being so fixated on a title as the only measuring stick of a great player is why KD went to GS. Should the sun's just treat those Barkley/Nash years as failures? Or how bout NY and Ewing or Jazz with Stockton/Malone. I can only imagine the adulation Harden could get if he was the one to ditch his team to sign with GS.
I would rather have a player performing for 3 full quarters than a player who only goes hot for like 1 quarter. Which is why I'd take Harden over Curry every single time. Harden is a better consistent player than Curry..... plus he has way more to his game than Curry ever will. The funny thing is, if we had beaten the Warriors everyone would have been calling Harden clutch and whatnot. But when we lose, he's the first to get the blame. Yes, I remember the countless hate threads about Harden as soon as we lost to the Warriors. When Harden dominates the league again next season - which I expect him to do - you'll get the same haters kissing his ass for the most part. But they'll soon be back to hating him when we lose.
Not taking anything away from Kawhi, he definitely hit some shots, but It also helped that the Raptors played great team defense and the Warriors simultaneously went cold.
“single reason”? Are we forgetting the raptors won 59 games last year without Kawhi? And won 58 games this year with Kawhi missing 22 games? Seems like the Raptors are a really good team who upgraded with a really really good player.
