Sam Amick: James Harden might be in Houston for a while

this post should be stickied

 

I hear you on Stone, completely AWOL.

He has been low key snakey since getting GM promotion.

He has a Bill Barr vibe to him.

Which makes sense because Tilly sees himself as Trump's twin.

 

I can remember BJ Armstrong and John Paxson winning BIG games for the Bulls - what has been the biggest NON Harden win? The Clippers game where the super subs saved the day? Only one I can think of.

Gerald Green won a regular season game I think with a buzzer beater falling out of bounds. Thats it! Everything else has been on James. How may open jumpers need to be missed before the role players start to share some of the heat?

Remember 0-27? How many shots did Ariza miss that game? SMH. This isnt golf of tennis.

 

He is at camp and will be playing as long as he’s here is he not? Playing for the team he’s signed under is exactly what he’ll be doing until he’s finally traded.

 

Yeah, Because James can't play basketball all of a sudden. It's just dumb.

 

So that his playoff rep can become worse than it already is? He won’t have to throw anything, this team will be beaten quickly by any real contender.

 

AND HOW MANY TIMES HAVE THEY BEEN SWEPT?

 

Haha. Blazers edge thinks that deal would be too much!? No way I’m taking that garbage for James.

 

casual fan alert

you’re talking about complimentary role players when other superstars have Big 3’s, Big 4’s like Steph with KD in GS, or a duo composed of a top player still in his prime as the sidekick

if averages of 28, 6, and 7 is “just sucking” in the playoffs, then the other 400+ players in this league that can’t do better must be utter dog sh*t

everybody’s hero Damian Lillard wishes he could reach Harden’s level of “suck” in the postseason for example

should’ve just deleted that post before exposing yourself

 

Harden staying in houston would piss off the nba media more than James Harden lol. They want Harden out of houston, because harden is lapping steph curry when it comes to personal success. They believe harden wont be a dominant scorer if he has to share the ball with other players. LOL i can see what the media is angling for and it wont work

 

AND HOW MANY TIMES HAS PORTLAND BEEN SWEPT?

 

The Harden love on this board is unfathomable. Makes no sense.

 

I hear you, but I need to see heart out of my players from my city
#loyalty

 

I am deaf now

I want to shutout to James.

This won't be a boring season, bring it, breh.

 

the dumb casual fan posts like “Harden just sucks” in the playoffs are unfathomable and make no sense

 

harden is a meme to anyone outside of houston, but cmon man ****ing urkel and some role player are too much to as for james harden? **** outta here

 

@Plowman faints

 

the harden hate is worse, we are defending harden from negative outside forces. If you cant see Harden has been attacked by the media since 2016 and it has only gotten worse the last 4 years, then im sorry i cant help you

 

It's clear that some people have been watching different games than us.

It's okay if you don't like iso-ball, that's totally fine with me. It's fine if you want motion offense with lots of movement, etc. But why the hell lie that iso-ball has not worked when the Rockets have been so successful running it.

Imagine a team being given the opportunity to play 4 on 3 basketball. Imagine Harden having a healthy, young CP3, to attack those 4 on 3 teams you think iso-ball would have not worked (looked beautiful the first year he was here)? @Reeko we are here arguing day in and day out against folks that refuse to think outside the box and the limitations that Harden has had to work with. It's fine to criticize Harden for not being fully engaged in the offense when he doesn't have the ball in his hands, that's fair, but to outright lie that iso-ball has not been successful just because we don't have a championship under our belts, well that's just frustrating to argue with a person with that opinion.

People want to talk about Lebron carrying the Cavaliers to a victory, but do people not remember the huge plays that Kyrie and Love had to help out Lebron or where they ****ing invisible in that series? You think Lebron is holding 4 championships if Kyrie doesn't hit that difficult shot?? Imagine if the Rockets could of had one role player hit 2 threes when we went 0-27, that would of been nice. Or how about a coach that wasn't so ****ing stubborn to only play one ****ing way and never even attempt to adjust or throw other players out there. Harden deserves criticism and blame for losses, that's fair, but stop ****ing lying guys.
