not saying he didnt...but dude straight up quit in game 6 against a kawhi-less team...so much so that people thought he had to be playing with a concussion because he seemed so checked out from the get-go
Harden only played with 1 all-star that was in his prime.... and that was Westbrook. Westbrook was terrible for half the season and even worse in the playoffs. You put good shooters around Harden and you pretty much win a ring in most seasons. He finally has that with the Nets. But, the Nets still need a good defensive center.... and maybe another 3 and D. Harden also had to contend with one of the best teams of all time on multiple occasions with only a decent supporting cast in most of his seasons here.... but nothing to extent that the Warriors had.
He’s from NJ. Doubt he’s seriously watched harden play besides some YouTube clips of bad defense and ball hog harden.
He played ****. But, the game and the series was already over at half-time in game 6. Capela, Anderson and Gordon were also terrible that game. Ariza was probably the only player who played well that game.
Stop posting because you are embarrassing yourself. No one said Harden was perfect. Take your “Harden played with prime Howard” and get out of here... If you want to be exact, Harden didn’t play with prime Paul or Westbrook in Houston either. Go away and post about Jeremy Lin and “sticky ball” and all the other ignorant crap you have posted about in the past in another thread.
That’s great, I wonder if Harden and Durant have talked to Kyrie about the fact that they both have cut back on their shot attempts and have contributed in other ways, while Kyrie is still shooting as much or more than ever and still doesn’t even try to defend, that’s when he doesn’t just decide to take a week or more off.
They’re very good. Very dangerous especially when motivated like tonight against the clippers. Still no defense and no bench but those 3 can dominate a game and penetrate defenses at will. The playoffs likely will come down to which teams make key defensive plays and how much the stars rise up. Still not a believer in this team winning it all without some form of defense in a 7 game series. Hard to envision.
Who fault is that? Nobody wanted to play with James here. That's why he left. lol He can't even get his GOOD friends to come. People complain about the Wall contract but we have that contract because he wanted Westbrook because he wanted CP3 gone. Like come one, lol he has had help. He has also folded in crucial moments. Dwight was still in his prime. He wasn't efficient and couldn't shoot but he lived at the rim off oops and pick and roles. Harden can't get out his own way.
Clippers 120 NETS 124 This is a better offense than better defense win. Not by much though. It was only a 2 possession game.
Dwight was pretty good for two seasons, but prime Howard ended when he ****ed his back up and left Orlando.
It's very clear to me that this team's best player(when he tries on defense) is their best player. No doubt in my mind. .....well a little doubt if Kyrie can continue to shoot like that.
They definitely play down to their opponents that's not even a debate. They are 10-3 against teams above .500. They have the 4th best defensive rating in the league against teams above 500. This is 100% playing down to who they are playing.
Harden is not a leader and that has been proven by testimonials from guys like rivers and Westbrook. His playoff performances are up for debate and perhaps he isn’t that guy and is better as a supporting guy. In his defense he never had a dynamic player like KD or Kyrie and the teams built around him were never good enough. Oh well. In the past now. This trio works along with sharpshooter Joe Harris this is where 90-100 pts come from each night. Crazy.
