    I don't think Harden is getting away with more. The only difference is the media is not focusing on it anymore.

    Go work the fry line.

    You really are oblivious to basketball.

    29 other teams do not play differently......... just stick to your Jerry Lin and Chandler Parson crap and complain about sticky ball somewhere else.

    The Rockets and Blazers were both 54-28 in 2014.

    In 2017 the Spurs were 61-21 and the Rockets were 55-27.

    I don't think either was clear cut that the Rockets should have won.

    The 2017 series had the worst playoff performance of Harden's career, a pathetic game 6 though.

    I still remember something from that Blazers series that I don’t think happens very often at all.

    We lost the series to them, even though we outscored them over the entirety of the series.

    so why are bitter exes still b****ing about 2017 rockets vs spurs in a 2021 nets thread again?

    is it really that hard to move on?

    Harden is the engine for BK...basically handles the majority of the playmaking duties so that Kyrie and KD can focus on scoring, and he’ll still pitch in 20-30 points every night

    he controls the pace and gets the role players great shots

    Harden is able to be the best SG or PG in the NBA on a whim

    the Big 3 works very well together

    What's weird is that he has probably become the best PG since Magic and this is only his second full season of playing the position. The guy has amazing basketball skill and IQ.

    I'll say this about the Big 3 so far:
    - Harden makes every shot I expect him to make.
    - KD misses shots I expect him to make.
    - Irving makes shots I expect him to miss.

    True, Portland beat us at the buzzer but Howard carried us in that series.
    But agreed, it was by no means a given.
    Didn't the spurs have a key player out in their series I can't remember

    It might be true to an extent. But I think this narrative has been overblown for years by Rockets fans. Harden and CP3 were top stars, but we weren't the media darling. San Antonio is a much smaller market than Houston, we never really saw any animosity from the media against them. Even the Mavs, with a loud mouth owner does not seem to get any special negative treatment. What is so special about Houston that they hate us so much?

    And during our championship runs in the '90s, I didn't feel much of media conspiracy against us.

    They look really though on offense and give me peak 2018 Rockets vibes with post-injury Durant instead of Ariza, and slightly diminished Harden version of himself. Kyrie is no CP he might put up numbers but they are just different tiers in terms of IQ, defense and overal game. I can't see them going over LA teams in full power over 7 games, too many weak souls on their team and unbalanced squad but you never know, these are 3 geniuses on offense if they get hot for 4 games it's nothing you can do.

    They are highest ceiling-lowest floor(from contenders) type of team(in the playoffs, because I don't give a **** bout inflated RS records of Dantoni ball). As good as they are there are too many question marks about injuries, defense, DeAndre Jordan, coaching, depth etc

    Clippers were 15-1 going into last night when at any point in a game they have been up double digits.

    Lol what's Dantonii ball in this regard? Also All three of these guys are proven playoff performers? And Nash is the coach, not Dantoni.
