You're a grown man on social media behaving childish and being disrespectful because a few fans spoke the truth on Harden horrific play so far. Not only that we got blown out twice at home by a scrub team and now the champs. You're telling me that you are not upset at the magnitude in which we keep losing to the Warriors. You see this goes way past these two games . Go back and look at how we keep losing to the Warriors. You will see the same bone headed mistakes, the lack of basic defense responsibility, losing every 50/50 play and a great amount of Harden ISO. Yes it's only two games but I believe everyone but you wanted to see effort, heart and some freaking pride. I get tired of the Warriors mocking and basically making fun of us. Crazy thing, both Harden and Lawson talked all that smack and couldn't back it up. That's embarrassing for us but Curry and Company are laughing their butts off. Curry let his game back his statement to the media up.
I don't really mind statistically, all though the record # of turnovers did scare me a bit last seaosn...its the attitude I'm worried about. As long as someone never gives up and *shows* they don't give up as a message to the rest of the team, all will fall into place. I'm not seeing that. I hope its this Kartrashian mess thats screwing with his head atm.
The thing about Harden is he literally started workout and playing basketball as chubby/fat kid while struggling with asthma. Not sure what his asthma status is but it's got to take a toll on his body and endurance. He's really not what he is if the NBA takes away 3/4 of his Eurostep fakes and calls no foul when he's attacking. Why even overlook his coasting games in the PlayOffs? He's had many bad games as Rocket in Post Season. Not really a franchise player after all and there's no denying it.
J Sizzle I can live with Harden having a few bad games but not being able to back up your trash talking at home to me is embarrassing. Man this is the team that knocked us out the playoffs and we respond in this fashion. Man especially Harden who played the same exact way in the elimination game.
I've lost faith in Harden. He's just not really "the guy". The 2013 Post Season even screamed that this guy wasn't going to be able to be the guy period. His head right now is being butthurt over Khloe choosing Lemar over him and he's just not ready... While Durant and Westbrook are just awesome out of the gate. Harden is absolutely < than Westbrook when it's all said and done. Westbrooks athleticism and drive alone would free up Dwight and other bigs to play better.
I don't disagree with this. It definitely is annoying that Harden talked all that noise and then opened up with some duds. No doubt about it. I also don't think it's a huge deal like most of this website, though. Once again...Harden has earned the benefit of the doubt. If this continues well into the season, say maybe 10-15 games, then yeah, we have a big problem. 2 games, though? Let's ease up. I wouldn't lump a few moronic fans with the bunch.
Only on Clutchfans will you find people who have "lost faith" in the player that is 26 years old and has 2 straight Top 5 MVP finishes.
He's not on Westbrook's level dude. Not even close and forget about being anywhere near Durant's. OKC knew this and gave use the least best out of: Durant Westbrook Ibaka Harden.....
Did Harden have a 2 game stretch this bad last season? It sure sucks that it happened at the beginning of the season, but I'm sure it's not an anomaly.
Are you kidding me? Harden is years ahead of Westbrook. Anyone would look good taking 41 shots a ****ing game. Get out of here and go ride OKC.
westbrook might have a bad game but he never gives up. when he has a bad game and is losing, he is going to go down SWINGING and go out FIRING. he doesn't have that whiny loser attitude and body language that james harden has.
I didn't realize you had spoken disparagingly of Harden with another fan a whole year ago. That changes everything. We didn't really get to have a preseason and we've only played two games. I'm frustrated too but some of you guys really suck as fans. I know you'll all be singing a different tune the next time Harden lights it up which will be soon. Honestly, I'd just as soon not have you back.
Come playoff time, Westbrook can really impose his unique brand. So ******* athletic and overall powerful. He is and can be Flash Wade 2006 2.5.
