    so you can't name a single player who could have done the impossible?

    basically you're hating on harden because he unable to do the impossible

    okay...

    Stop being sensitive. Nobody is hating on James. I'm just stating what happened.

    Would you take Harden's previous production in this year's playoffs ?

    Simple yes or no ......

    Sure. In 2015 he was easily one of the best players in the playoffs.

    here's a crazy ass news flash - players efficiency tends to decline in postseason.

    take a few weeks to let that sink in. watch your hero Paul George do some April battlefighting.

    then come back.

    Exactly. I worded that question specifically because I knew any "YES" answer would have to be qualified.

    You speak 2015 now, but you weren't talking 2015 *only* in your wack Portrait Post on the first page of this thread..

    Drop your nutz and stop changing your angle. It will serve you well.

    you haven't answered my numerous questions yet yourself

    if GSW had harden instead if curry in 15 or KD in 17, are you sure they haven't won a chip?

    you look stupid fighting for WB and hating on Harden in this thread

    Not sure about your Westbrook obsession, but Harden is better than him and Curry.

    You invent arguments from thin air.

    You're proud because you asked a stupid question?

    Harden has played 88 playoff games over 8 years, ranging from a role playing rookie to an established star, from first round exits to Finals appearances.

    what does a mythical "yes" even accede to? the total? the mean? the median? a 4 year weighted moving average? the 5 best and the 5 worst?

    if you say "yes"to the sane question involving Hakeem do you get WCF Hakeem 95 or the guy who got clowned by Greg Ostertag a few years later?

    I knew you would have to qualify your answer! Good job, Perry Mason. Keep working hard on this case.

    Are folks really denying/ignoring Harden's well documented playoffs shortcomings??? That's hilarious. The dude put in one of the ALL TIME single game worst performances for an MVP caliber player in literally his last playoff game - like embarrassingingly bad. He was BENCHED by his coach in the 4th quarter of a game that saw us mount one of the greatest late game comebacks in playoff history. He had something like 15 turnovers including one on the final possession of an elimination game against GSW. He stunk it up in his only finals appearance.

    If you're not walking into the playoffs with at least a tinge of trepidation on how Harden will perform than congrats, you're a blind homer. You're also an idiot if you ignore the real life evidence against you yet think not being able to prove a purely hypothetical question somehow proves your point.

    That's because you make leaps.

    I only said Westbrook had legit argument for MVP.

    My "qualification" was already stated in my first response to you, first page of this thread. The same response you dodged.

    Drop something

    8 less wins is legit? Now with allstardipo u still think wb is still the legit mvp? I guess for you winning is not that important. Not as important has trip dubs

    So you admit harden is better than wb and curry but still complain about him?

    I could not think of a better way to illustrate my point.

    For all of these "well documented" failures - there must be some sequence of undocumented performances, apparently lost to history and sealed away in that same anonymous government warehouse that houses the Ark of the covenant - that are good enough to put him at thr top of the franchise leader board in all relevant categories.

    It's like dark matter for people like @SWTsig and @Houstunna.

    it must exist mathematically. they just can't detect it.

    Complaining? Just saying facts. No need to rewrite history, especially due to emotion.

    So answer...

    Do you want Harden shooting .413 FG% and .481 eFG% these playoffs ?

    Refresh my memory? your schtick is pretty monotonous and derivative, ever since "trade Harden for Paul George" days it's kinda the same stuff, so if there's a truffle on the turd I coulda missed .

    Actually wait - don't.

    Nobody cares. Turn on some Skip and you do you dog.

    let us be us.
