it goes both ways.. he single handedly carried the rockets to 3rd seed won in the first round against a team who was supposed to have more wins than the rockets and took the 2nd seed to 6 games give credit & respect where its due unless you think rockets would have one the championship last year if it weren't for heartless harden then STFU!!!
Basketball is a team sport, one guy doesn't get you beat by 40. That's a team thing. Dantoni got his ass handed to him by Popovich. The whole squad deserves blame, it's stupid to put it on one guy. It was a team effort to suck that bad.
Harden is an amazing player. I've said that many times. Being as good as he is, he is allowed to have bad games. Even the best players have bad games. As I have said before, I am okay with him having bad games. I am NOT okay with him quitting!!
I disagree with you saying, "The whole team quit." The whole team may have had a bad game but only Harden quit. He looked like he didn't even want to be there. That saddened me. When you're the president, you're the one that gets shot.
Dude if you're willing to give the rest of the Rox team a "try hard" trophy but accuse Harden of quitting, go ahead. But the fact of the matter is the WHOLE SQUAD quit. Including the HC who got embarrassed by Popovich.
but you admit he was bad? in the playoffs for a closeout game, in order for one to not be considered a quitter, the leader of the team needs to have his best production of the series correct?
