So when ppat gets the ball he gets to the free throw line?? Rofl thats a joke. But everything else has some validity. But I feel the team has more pressing concerns to solve, than Harden having the ball a bit to much
I agree this is mostly frustration. Everyone seemed frustrated/irritated in their videos - Harden, Lin, Parsons. I don't think PPat meant to call out Harden as he did say something like "Harden is our best player, no doubt". Still, if this streak of poor play doesn't turn around soon I expect someone's professional veneer to crack.
The rockets aren't the spurs, aren't instructed by the spurs coaches. They run the offense the coach tells them to run, which is clearly based on penetration ( yes, almost exclusively by harden ) and spacing the floor for the three. Player movement would get in the way of that. The spurs offense is much more than screens also. No way in ****ing hell the rockets are picking it up in half a season, even if pop was coaching.
But you, some random poster on a ****ing NBA fan site that knows dick about basketball, has a right to criticize for some ****ing reason. He may be a mediocre pf, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know what the **** he is talking about
First harden IS no reliable score. he jack up to many shots. i don't care if u r #1 in THE LEAGUE IN scoring. it don't mean **** if u cat win. it don't mean **** if u don't make your teammates better. Harden IS no stud. he is simply a hero wanna be player. without harden. rockets will be able to score over 100 ppg easy. He is just a selfish ass who uses half of the teams total shots to accumulate his points. Lets not forget. each TO is consider one shot. u factor that in. He is shooting 35%. Oh and those that said harden have 5 assist per game. gtfo. those are mostly passes he made when he had no where to go and his teammates were fortunate to make the shot. Those that are still supporting harden hero ball and turnover madness can gtfo because u guys know nothing about team basketball. all u guys know is 25ppg.
Kobe is more efficient than harden is, at least this year. It probably is true though, but Dwight is a ****ing idiot and Dwight is the least of their problems.
Rockets will never ever win a championship again with harden running the show as a fake PG. sad but true
If winning was as easy as handing the ball off to your star player, then lebron would have won every year in Cleveland, Kobe wouldn't have needed Phil and gasol/bynum. You have to do some more coaching than that. Its like McHale and mike brown trade ****ing notes .
Poor guy harden have to prove to everyone that he is worth 80 mils by playing "only i can score game" *** harden. *** morey *** mcfail.
Not Sure if I prefer to play the INSIDE-OUT game like Howard want's it, or If I preffer watching the run and gun game. But if I remember correctly, doesn't inside-out win more championships unless your Michael Jordan and can do it with a 2 man game of Pippen and Jordan/Harden and Parsons combo; therefore PPATT would be wrong with his current statement of James Harden and his ball hoggin problem. Solution to this is, trade PPATT + a few other young players and picks for One of the Jazz PF'S and play both styles run and gun/Inside-Out, depending on our opponets matchups on a daily basis.
Why is this on harden. If the coaches didn't like what he was doing, they would change it. Its by design.
Hey Pat, how about grabbing a freaking rebound or at least box someone out the next time Asik goes up for a damn block. And while your at it could please play some defense and throw in a basket or two when you are wide freaking open. And when you are in the post with the ball in your hands remember the words of the great Bill Walton, "Throw it down big fella!"
