Lol cant prove lebron or kd or any other acrive superstar could have carried the rockets farther last year Its not harden. Its the team. 2d highest paid 20m 1/5th of the cap ryno, starting pg pbev, 8th 9th players dekker n harrell. Even morey admitted that. Thats why locked up harden to a max extension and signed cp3 tucker lma gg/jj. Thats why less made 2b and tilman bought in. Thats why cp3 bandwagonned. Tbats why we 1st seed with the mvp and overall best franchise reg season.
Lol the rockets held harden back from a chip not the other way around u sure harden wont be a champ by now if he replaced curry in 15 or kd in 17? after last season rank the rockets glaring problems that they needed to get rld of? Harden Ryno Pbev Dekker Harrell
These PER is misleading. East does not play much defense in the playoffs. Defense was unwatchable in the east playoffs last year.
Who would have thought lebron will have more success in the playoffs with wade, bosh kyrie and love in the LEast As compared to harden with ryno and pbev in the west
I watched the game, I don't check stats. 3 Rockets biggest weakness: Bench defense Bench court vision Bench rebounds Who will play at the starting of the 4th quarter (first 4 minutes)? critical time Warriors Durant (who guards Durant) Green McGee Cook Young Assume that Harden and Paul play entire 3rd quarter. Draymond Green is 6'5", Tucker is 6'3".
Take those two offensive Fouls called in George's Favor and The Westbrook on 6 pts swing Add in the 3 pts for techicals complaining about those shitty type calls Then Talk about the 1 pt they took away from us from us in the 1st quarter There is your 10 pts Rocket River
Or previous year(s) That LeBron team corp that helped him to the NBA finals last year turned to crap fast this year. LeBron n i thought there was a couple techs on us for calling out the terrible job the refs were doing; but I didn’t remember exactly how many and on who. Just knew CP3 got tagged for protecting himself from a hack that was coming from Westbrook. Thanks Rocket River
Really, the Warriors are coming at us with that? Haha, we can beat that with 2 Ryan Anderson’s and 3 Bobby Browns. Just worry about the Warriors getting out of the first round with Curry out or risking injury.
Triggered. How about when Harden massively choked with Durant, Westbrook and Ibaka? Too young, I guess? I don't think we needed to "get rid" of any of those players. Sam Dekker was a rookie, so I'm not sure what you are saying there. We had to get rid of our rookies to win a championship? What a Dunce.
CP3 has had one bad playoff series in his entire career, and his """""choke""""" against the thunder in game 5 of the semis in 2014 was the result of 3 horrid calls on back-to-back-to-back possessions. The Refs simply gave the Thunder that game, and the series, and that is what I fear will happen to us.
Am I taking crazy pills? The same East with the prime Detroit Pistons and Boston Celtics? Two of the greatest defenses ever assembled? Lebron has been trashing great defenses since the early 2000's, so you might want to go back and check your sources. Any objective fan can see that James Harden has folded thus far in his career. His Pinnacle moment was quitting on a grand stage, but not just quitting. Quitting in a way that hasn't truly never been seen since Shoeless Joe Jackson. The good thing is that lesser, but similar shutdowns have happened with Kobe & Lebron, so we just have to pray he matures and bounces back. If you want to crown his ass, then crown his ass. If we win big this year, I have a feeling we will be crowning CP3 Finals MVP, and that is just fine by me.
How many wins did lebron with kyrie and love win in the Least last year? How does pbev and ryno compare to kyrie and love? How many games did kd miss lasf year due to injury? How many more wins did the 73 win gsw team have when kd joined them?
So who is to blame that rockets havent won a chip? You really expect 1 superstar to beat 2 3 4 superstar superteams??
Any team with dekker and harrell as 8th and 9th guys (since nene was injured) arent gonna get far in the playoffs Ask cp3 tucker n lma
Every healthy playoffs team would completely shut down Rockets bench. Ryan, GG, JJ and Gordon. worst rebounding and defensive bench in the nba, unable to pass the ball due to terrible court vision.
