The Browns is not giving a fork about Johnny football anymore, because they already know he sucks donkey ass as a football player. However, on the other side, the Rockets is still not willing to let go of the belief : "James Harden is still a superstar and will carry this franchise to a championship." Either Morey or Les (or both) are still patiently waiting for him to transform into a great player. That is the biggest difference. And also that's the saddest part.
Time to grow up chief! Marcus Thornton can score 30 points on 25 shots, not play defense and turn the ball over as much as he assists. You must be a Kobe fan. I'm a James Harden fan. 30 points on 25 shots is a ****ty game for James Harden. Dwight put 16 and 13 on Withey and allowed Withey 8 points on 8 shots in 34 minutes. It's not even comparable. Especially because Dwight played defense for FOURTY MINUTES STRAIGHT. THAT'S FIFTY PERCENT OF THE COURT. In a game where Howard is protecting the rim and Harden is not playing defense, who should get way more credit for the opponent scoring only 91 points? Not to mention: Harden should always always be better than Howard for the rest of their careers. Even the Jazz announcers were dumbfounded by how lackadaisical Harden was playing on defense, and how carelessly he turned the ball over several times in the 4th Q. If your defense of Harden is that Dwight didn't play well, you need to understand that you think lowly of Harden. Don't blame that on me. I'm rooting for the guy and I call him the MVP. I don't call him the players' MVP. I call him the MVP because he earned that award last season. I wasn't busy comparing him with creeky knees Dwight Howard.
Of course the failure of this team this season is not all on Harden. Just think about it, this team is full of mind forked dumb ass with IQ less than a 5th grader players. For a GM whose heavily relying on analytics, this is a complete joke by itself. The style and the way this team plays, its like you are sitting at a crap table and roll the dice nonstop, that's not analytics, that's just bullsh!t luck. And to make things worse, the one whose placing the bets (the players), are some of the most low IQ people in this planet. And they are lazy too. Everything is overrated about this team, from top to bottom, from the owner, the GM, the coach to the players. When the hands cooling down and the dices will not go your way, you will feel upset just like now. But actually, this is the reality, and this is the truth.
Good call. Been watching since the disgusting 14-68 season that landed us Sampson the next. Hell even those wins carried more meaning. Last nights win is like scoring a victory over a clogged toilet by turning off the water before the poop gets on your floor. That's a victory just like the victory over the Jazzholes.
I started losing him a couple of time, but lost him a while ago, today realized he is really so lost in the woods that I have stopped the search party. We've gone home and given up, just like he did.
Hardens turnovers are not a problem because of his high usage - delusional no knowledge fools like Jordnnn and fizzle :grin:
Out of the five turnover stats, I'm sure one of them makes him look average. That's the one that matters. Also he doesn't have a lot of turnovers if you take out his 10 worst turnover games. Therefore, he isn't turnover prone.
Every time it is bumped, it usually results in a 40+ point game or a triple double in a desperately transparent attempt to regain THE CITY OF HOUSTON. Of course, no one will ever forget what they were doing on that day that he lost an entire city...a red letter day truly. A horrible awful no good very bad day, whatever day it was.
Harden is the best player we have had since TmacYao era At least he isnt hurt all the time he has durability People so quick to write off what he has accomplished in a few years with the Rox Not realizing that players of Hardens caliber dnt just come around so often He needs another star player & a better compliment of players to ease some of the burden he carries bc w/o Harden we would for sure be a lottery team at this point. Not dismissing his short comings on defense at all but dam we want him to score 40 every night then play elite defense all game... Its just not that easy... Harden is still a top 5 player in this league We just need a better supporting cast bc these guys are just not getting it done Harden although is horendous on defense at times is not the culprit of this teams demise this season hell he is pretty much putting up the same or better numbers from last season... Keep Harden trade everone else
TIL that disliking Harden's game and believing he is capable of being the number one option on a championship team has a correlation with intelligence. I just have this strong gut inclination that those who attribute opinions about basketball matters to intelligence have an actual negative correlation in regards to intelligence. I take that back. Intelligence is the wrong word. Perspective and rationality are more fitting.
27.8 ppg 6.3 rpg 7 ast Thats elite no matter how you wanna twist it A guy with Harden's talents are just not that easy to find
