    His offense falls-off noticeably vs regular season... but he played more defense this go-round, so there's that.

    Blah blah blah, people were saying the same **** about Hakeem until he won his championship.

    Stop thinking so simply. Only one team can win a championship, that doesn't make everyone else chokers.

    Harden is a great great player. But, he can't do it by himself. He may not be as good as LeBron or Durant, but he's damn good.

    Let's keep getting better players around Harden.

    I'm tired of people making excuses for Hardhead. Everybody on the floor playing is tired and beat up.
    LeBron carried an entire team to the finals.
    Harden becomes a role player every time the playoffs come around.

    Harden played very well. He can’t do everything every single possession. And before you say “well look at Curry,” remember he has Klay and Durant running around screens looking for an open 3 and the defense has to respect that. Tonight, the Warriors didn’t have to worry about Ariza or Green or Gordon or Paul.

    Harden played fantastic in game 4. Without him we probably don’t make it past Utah. We definitely don’t take Golden State to 7. Remember, if Paul does not go down, Houston wins this series and you are praising him and Harden, talking about how they will beat Cleveland in 5. Don’t be a moron.

    He needed CP3, and Luc.

    Guarantee Harden would have carried this team to the finals tonight if they were playing Boston too.

    gOTTA TAKE THE WINS WITH THE LOSSES. The rox will be back and better next year for the playoffs. Harden will be better as long as we keep Chris Paul. Even MJ had to learn how to better use his teamates so that he is not and they are not taking so many tough shots. You have to earn your way thru the p[layoffs and you have to be more unselfish. James is a better leader this year than last and he will be better next year. It took Dream 10 years before he won his first title this is how it is.

    Also pretty sure Durant has never carried a team to a finals win either lets be honest...he joined a 73 win team to win his first. How about the fact OKC blew a 3–1 lead to GS with KD playing like trash that year after they got up 3-1?

    D@amn everyone needs to chill. We lost our best player for games 6 and 7. What would've the 95-98 Bulls done if Jordan had gone down?

    Harden is a great scorer but he is not a leader, even he knows that. But that is fine, because that's exactly why Morey brought in CP3, and it worked. We would've won the series if he hadn't gone down. Hell we would've closed it out in Game 6.

    With CP3 we were the better team. Chips just didn't fall our way this year. Can't blame anyone on the team for that.

    Are people dumb. We know harden can't go anywhere leading the team, that's why we got Chris Paul you ****ing idiots.

    You yank away our only point guard mid series against the Warriors and expect Harden to just become something's he's not.

    **** off

    He would have carried this team passed GS if he hadn't reverted back to his usual playoff self.

    Common OP, I bash Harden all the time but he played hard today. The whole team played hard. We missed wide open three's.

    Harden is stellar, but he cracks as the primary distributor against the top 3 defenses. Healthy CP3 = victory

    But healthy CP3 is a bit of an apparition.

    Carried past the most talented team perhaps of all time...okay let’s see how Lebron fares in attempting that against them in the finals.
