you know what the OF in LOF means? So yes, what you're saying is incredibly stupid. But I'll let you live in your bubble. And still comprehension and intelligence =zero.
Just to make this clear: there is absolutely no data at all to back up your argument, yet Harden is a horrible defender because you say so? Ok. I never said he was great (I thought I was quite clear on that one). Is he worse than everyone on our current team? No. Sadly there are many guys outdoing him in terms of suckitude. He is an average NBA defender - sure, if he applied himself he could be 'good' - but he just relies on his talent, and takes a play off every now and then looking to get a steal. I'm fairly sure wetting your pants about it won't help one bit.
no, it def helps. if a guy accusing someone of a thief has a history of bad blood with that person, and defends someone who is even a bigger thief, wouldn't you call his motives and intentions into question? in fact, that's exactly what the judges do in the court. intentions matter, and so does your personal history. objective data and stats over you delusional subjective biased personal opinion. every.single.time. just because the stats don't tell the whole story, doesn't mean you have to fall back on your little fantasy world. there is reason why you call a minus defender (Lin), one of the best defensive players in his team, and then turnaround and say Harden hurt his team more than helped when he posted 50 points in 50% shooting with +13 on/off court margin. you have zero knowledge on basic basketball analytics and just go wherever your emotions tell you to go, like an amateur. grow the f up.
I said no PUBLIC data, very important difference. Never said you called him a "great" defender, again you make something up or don't read properly. Not wetting my paints about it in any way, I merely replied to a Video in this thread, everything else resulted from someone inexplicibally bringing up Lin. Or do you also say Clutch is wetting his pants after his last podcast?
Hilarious. And love how you keep digging yourself into the hole caused by your Lack of comprehension and basic reading skills.
LOF means you are irrationally prioritize Lin over any other teams or players. doesn't necessarily mean LOF can't be a fan of anything other than literally Lin. I'm pretty sure many LOFs have their favorite music bands or movie stars. if you can't go past the literal meaning of the word to understand it in its full context, then you really should go back to the school 'cause your English teacher has clearly failed on his/her job.
You're the one that doesn't understand the word, and it's embarassing how you then go to music and movies. And like I said, 0.1% of my posts are about Lin, while you bring him up after a video of Harden's lapse. And I was like the 5th one to reply to the video, but you only reply to me because it's the only thing where your fantasy narrative makes you think you can turn attention away from Harden.
nope, everything resulted from you calling Harden trash when he literally had one of the best games of the year against the Philly, and then turn around and praise Lin as one of the best defenders of his team, when the stats tell that he's a minus defender.
And great how someone that says "how you are irrationally prioritize Lin" tells me to go back to English classes, while it's my second language and should be your first.
again with your delusion. i only respond to you because you clearly wanted to turn the attention away from Harden when he actually had a decent game against the Philly. then a little research revealed that you were a LOF. stop projecting what you are doing and your intention on to me, this is getting gross.
it's my second language too, zzz. want to pick on grammar mistakes? you made like 50 of them already, but i didn't bring it up because i thought that was extremely childish thing to do and a low blow, but alas, i forgot the person i was speaking to had zero integrity. nice job reminding me of that.
Yes, talking about Harden in a Harden thread is clearly "turning attention away from Harden". Unbelievable how stupid you are. And still can't prove I'm a LOF. You talking about being tired of someone projecting things is the definiton of irony.
This guy responds to me talking about Harden in a Harden thread by posting Lin videos and then accuses me of turning attention away from Harden, it's so embarassing.
yes, calling out a player who just had a 8th best game among all the players of this league up to this point (http://espn.go.com/nba/gameleaders) and trashing him def qualifies as 'turning attention from him' because you are trying to muddy the water and steal his legitimately given spotlight. want to talk about irony? you calling me stupid is the epitome of irony, sir. literally every word you spewed out on this thread is riddled with anger, confusion and LOF-esque mental gymnastics. enough is enough, jeez
you know what's embarrassing? calling a player trash who just had 8th best game of the season among all the players in the league (Harden's game vs Philly, http://espn.go.com/nba/gameleaders) and then turns around to praise a minus defender (=Lin) 'one of the best defensive players in his team'. that's beyond embarrassing, that's just sheer bigotry and hate.
All this bs conversation in this thread happened because of you being angry I pointed out the bad parts of a 50pt game instead of saying everything was great. It's incredibly obvious you're doing this out of spite and anger, especially when you're trying to label me a LOF and turning away attention. Accept that 50pts don't mean everything was perfect, accept that me pointing it out doesn't make me a LOF. Done with this, bye.
don't try to rewrite the history. the argument was not that his 50 points were worth less than its face value, you explicitly argued that he cost us more than what he contributed in that game, implying that if it weren't for him we would have won more handily, which is ridiculously because by all objective measure he was by far the best player of that game, not to mention we we're trailing by 6-7 points in the 4Q when he was sitting on the bench, then came in and won the game for us (yes, also making few mistakes in the process of doing so) not just that, but all the other comments from that day made it clear for everyone that you didn't want to give Harden any credit even under extreme cases, which is beyond absurd given your proclivity to defend Lin for every slight little thing he does. if you are not willing to give Harden any credit when he actually does play well, then it's really difficult to see your criticisms of his bad plays as legitimate, because it is evident that you don't approach this subject with a fair and balanced point-of-view. so yeah, excuse me for having some doubts and suspicions about you.
Uhm no, that comment was in direct reply to you because you made it sound I meant he was a minus in that game. In that comment I explicitly say that that assumption you make is wrong and that I nowhere said he cost us more than he netted us. In other posts I directly said that his 50pts have less net value because of his deficiencies, not that the net value is negative. Like I said, you lack comprehension. And think about it, I only replied to you in that one thread and never before. It's crazy it made you so angry that you stalk me in other threads and even dig up my posting history in your desperate attempts. You're really taking this and Harden way too serious.
a simple google search only takes 30 seconds. that's not 'stalking'. it's called 'being able to use search engine'. nice try with your ad hominem, though. it's evidently clear you're the one who's always anxious to trash Harden what ever he does, so who is the one stalking and taking him too seriously? 'cause before you made this a 'thing', 90% of my posts were other regarding subjects other than Harden, where as i don't even see you here that often other than when you trash Harden. really, your level of projection is mind-boggling.
