Yeah that dude that averaged 36 PPG and 8 APG (numbers people wouldn't have thought were possible at the time we got him, for anyone) for an entire season was a mediocre player who had a few bright spots here and there. Make no mistake James Harden will be a first ballot HoFer and if anything we should be honored if he goes in as a Rocket.
You can twisting people's words and say non sequitur things like regular season stats. The conversation was always about playoffs performance and Harden did not have too many brightest spots when the team needed him the most
Harden probably wins a ring next year, and then bitter exes will be left with nothing but their hurt feelings
People say the same thing about our two championships, yet here we are. A win is a win. Leave the excuses at home.
Harden lives in your guys head rent free. It's kinda sad, just move on. We ain't winning anything anytime soon.
I don’t think you realize that he was literally dominating both sides of the court. Hakeem like performance. Well deserved Chip.
And so we **** on him? And drag him through the mud every chance we get? The playoffs may be more important, but the regular season does matter as we just saw how removing James Harden from our team resulted in us getting the #2 pick after making the playoffs every single year he was on the roster. Do you just pretend the regular season doesn't matter or something? It's a pretty significant part of the game and for the past 10 years there have only been two players who have been able to consistently singlehandedly carry teams to the playoffs and they both have James in their names. EDIT: Also how can you claim to be a Rockets fan and not give Harden some leeway for the fact that he ran into literally the greatest juggernaut the NBA has ever seen multiple times in the playoffs with a fraction of the help.
Same - same - but the Bucks squad had a major question mark over their maturity the last few years. Now they've been there are done that, one imagines they should be favourites. Will Kyrie even show up?
It makes me sick that Giannis got a ring before Harden and Chris Paul! The refs weren't going to let the Bucks lose. Lebron is getting old so the NBA has annointed Giannis!
Didn't the rockets made that memorable comeback against the Clippers with Harden on the bench in game 6?
Uhm seriously? Giannis threatens to leave and they get a bunch of talent and prove to him they are willing to go above the tax line. Harden asks for help we go bellow the tax line and ship his butt to Brooklyn. Blame the tool and douchey family that bought the team. Bought the team knowing it was going to be expensive my butt.
Make no mistake Harden>Giannis....if Harden got all the calls like Giannis he'd have multiple rings! Refs let him bulldoze his way to the basket..any other player that would be an offensive foul. Giannis gets the curry treatment! You touch him an it's a foul!
Exactly my thoughts. Here are people saying if this if that. What if Jordan never retired? We won it and Hakeem was a beast owning Robinson and Ewing. Even though Shaq was young he gave Hakeem a good show. Even Jordan said they had no one to guard Hakeem. Horry was young and already clutch. I wish we would never of traded him and Sam. The same thing about Giannis. He is a beast with 50 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 blocks. Just be happy and watch basketball. I would say the same thing if Harden wins it next year and have a good playoff and closeout final game. But the fact now is that the Bucks won and he Giannis has one up on Harden. Apparently it's just not being tall and having no skills and just dunking.
