James Harden, first player in NBA history with two 50-point triple-doubles in a season

Let's trade him for young players and picks who MDA can give stern talks about turnovers to daily.

 

In January, Harden is shooting 32.4% from beyond the arc, turning the ball over 6.4 times a game, to go with a measly + 2.7 plus-minus. Has one good game against possibly the worst team in the league, and the nuthuggers are back in full force.

 

He's not playing as well as in Dec. But Philly has been playing really well in recently, but of course you have no idea about that.

 

I'd rather trade Harden and joomba for Melo and become KP-less Knicks 2.0

 

Has BigggReddd neutered FTW Rockets FTW?

Worthy of a new thread.

 

James Harden’s play is a key reason for the January swoon

Yeah it has nothing to do with injuries or schedule or team fatigue or playing better teams.

James Harden is a key reason! But let's ignore he's the key reason for the Rockets having the closest record to the Warriors and Spurs, and a better record than Lebron's world champions!!

Wonderful stuff as always.

 

You should definitely post that in EVERY thread on cf. You know you wanna.

 

How many times did we lose by single digits this month, and in those games how many times did Harden commit unnecessary lazy turnovers, played no D, and took ill-advised pull up three

 

You're right bro. Nothing else happened in the game that cost single digits, and nothing significant came from Harden that put us within single digits. What an a$$hole he is.

 

You guys are right, Harden should get all the credit when we win, and no blame whatsoever when we lose. That's how it works.

 

only problem is, NOBODY'S arguing that

 

Only problem is that's how most people here functionally act like.

 

maybe so, I have been as critical of the nuthuggers as much as anyone, but don't you think you're just a little bit over the top in your constant wailing about it? why not just give it a rest. It's not like you're going to single-handedly influence Morey or MDA to make any changes. Why not sit back and enjoy a team that still has the third best record in the league despite struggling recently?

 

No, the only problem is you missed out on enjoying that 50pt win, because you were trying too hard to point out a problem....

then it's like, "****, did I just miss another historic game by arguing."

it's so sad.

 

It's how I vent my anger watching Harden play. You might be not noticing this, but outside Houston, Harden is known as one of the most frustrating superstars that has ever existed, and if you watch his games it's no wonder so many people feel this way. Despite the main narrative here, Harden is not a smart player, and he could be so much better if he improved his decision-making on the court.

 

you need a different hobby

 

To be fair, Harden has dipped this month to 30 ppg from 28 last month.

I am disappoint.

 

NO BRO. Don't let these haters who have no vision change your mind. No matter what happens, it's Harden's fault. Who cares if we should be winning 41 games with this roster talent or if one of our few impactful role players is injured or we play more games than anyone else in the league? These are all just excuses. Harden needs to go out there and earn his paycheck by not turning it over a 5th or 6th time or *gasp* a 7th time in a game, regardless of whether we win or lose.

We're not here to win f'in games, who gives a $hit about wins man?? We're here to ensure that no matter the outcome, Harden has the greatest stats to ever be recorded, on the surface so we can head over to RealGM or ESPN or Reddit boards and not get talked down to by people there. F'in Avery Bradley fans. His stats are so beautiful and the Celtics HUMILIATED us on the way to their 27th win. That b*stard Harden had 7 TO's and they beat us by 11. People here need to do the math. We would have won by 3 if he didn't turn it over. And then the coaches conspire to blame a hollow interior defense, and the board rallies around it. It's like we're living in the Twilight Zone.

And btw if the Rockets trade Harden, f*** it, I'm switching teams and making sure he doesn't turn it over too much or play mediocre defense wherever the hell he's playing. We can't let that stuff slide, so much is at stake.
