    At least Jimmy Butler can brag about his run last year for the rest of his life. The lack of iconic playoff moments for Harden is astonishing.

    2013 vs OKC: Trash all series against OKC except probably game 5. Compare that to Trae Young or Luka or even Ja Morant's playoff debut it is night and day.

    2014 Vs POR: Highly inefficient, got locked up by Wesley Matthews, disappeared in game 5 which was a must win game. Hate to say it but Dwight carried his ass.

    2015 Vs LAC: Trash for the majority of the series especially games 3 and 4. Reason we won the series was benching him in game 6.

    2015 Vs GSW: Choked in game 2. 3-16 in the pivotal game 3.

    2016 Vs GSW: Quitted in game 5. With the season on the line he just gave up.

    2017 Vs SAS: He was a joke. Pop exposed him. Scared to take mid range jumpshot. Singlehandedly lost game 5 and 6.

    2018 Vs GSW: Couldn't hit a shot to save his team when the team went on a scoring drought.

    2019 Vs GSW: Game 5 and 6 KD went down he showed no sense of urgency. Could have been his year but he just choked. Series was right there for his taking. People like Kawhi and hate Harden for a reason.

    And you all really trying to convince me he was a great playoff performer. The only memorable moment I can remember from him is probably the gamewinner against GSW in 2016. And it wasn't really that memorable because we lost that series in an embarassing fashion. He CHOKED A LOT. When you choked a lot you can't blame people for thinking you are choker. Even lesser players like Jimmy Butler and Jamal Murray had a more memorable playoff run than Harden.

    Harden has never had a playoff run as memorable as Jimmy Butler's last year. It is undeniable.

    Yeah after he sucked in game 3 and 4 and dugged his team into a big hole. Not to mention the Clippers already collapsed mentally after game 6.

    Rockets fans preferred player movement over Harden.

    We have a lot of players coming in and going out of Houston now.

    2017 vs Spurs harden was terrible. Like he looked drunk but other than that he’s always been good in the playoffs

    Don't worry bro, you won't have to worry about a Rockets player going on any playoff runs for a long time, nor someone the calibre of Harden.

    Hope you bring that same energy to the current roster's best player. The guy who's so fragile he is kicked off a team because his locker was changed.

    Because you sure as hell ain't getting anyone better with the way Tilman runs the team.

    How's that face without your nose?

    Butler is the kind of player that you add as a third fiddle on a Harden led team and you become favorites as a contender.

    Rockets were close to it.

    They almost had a Harden-CP3-Butler trio but Butler went MIA.
