    If they can't stay healthy and go out again in the 2nd round, those players are going to be jumping ship faster than a 4 minute lap dance.

    Damn, 3 games with 30+ (2 of them being 40+) points on extremely good efficiency in each of those games reminded you of Harden. That's a pretty solid compliment, it's almost like players need help to win championships. Not past their prime stars.

    They got him CP3. Nope. They got him Westbrook. Nope. 2018 was the year and they missed it by a hamstring.

    Actually yeah, if you can put up 3 performances that should win your team the game when you only need to win 4 seems pretty good. Again, team game.

    EDIT: For a more basic example for you, shooting 3 out of 6 from the three point line is very good. Shooting 3 out of 6 from just about anywhere on the court is considered good.

    Pretending you don't understand the premise is certainly one way of defending your argument.

    Chis Paul is so much more disserving of a ring than Giannis. Giannis offensive fouled his way to a championship! Simply awful basketball!

    Must feel pretty good to know you're going to hear a whistle every time you put your head down.

    As opposed to not getting a whistle even when you're hacked because the media has portrayed a narrative you get to the free throw line too much.

    Imagine thinking their situations are anything alike.

    God some Rockets fans are f*cking pathetic at the moment.

    This is exactly why we have Tilman Fertitta as the owner. As karma for all you f*cking idiots who watched a player put this franchise back on the map. Brought respectability back to a franchise which lacked it since Hakeem. And this is the thanks you give him because he couldn't get over the hump of the greatest team ever assembled. And didn't want to waste his last few years on a joke of a team when he knew the owner was doing nothing to help him get over the hump.

    Utter clowns. I thought the fans were an absolute joke when I got my first taste of life at the Toyota Centre in person and people gave me death stares because I was up out of my seat cheering next to the opposition's bench, I think a lot of you are even more of a joke now. And it's fitting you get the biggest joke of an owner to run the team you love into the ground.

    Congratulations, you played yourself. And now the same idiots are probably the ones hoping we get Frank Kaminsky.

    Just. Lol.

    Build a championship instead of chase a championship. Karma is a b****.

    Jordan faced shitty comp his entire career that didn't stop people from calling him His Airness.

    It's not Giannis fault everybody else got injured lol. End of the day he got 50 in game 7 and stayed loyal to his squad. Harden did everything he could to leave his team by stabbing the Rox in the back and ended up getting the first major injury of his career. That's like karma bro, at least as far as NBA world is concerned.

    If Harden got 50 against the Kawhiless Spurs in game 6 of the Spurs series rather than getting 13 turnovers, maybe the criticism of Harden wouldn't be as harsh.

    That's the part people don't get about Harden's criticism. Ya he's faced vaunted teams. But when he doesn't, he still fails and when he does face vaunted teams at the very least he can go down swinging scoring a lot of points and his team still loses but he has a history of disappearing in the 4th quarter of playoff games because he becomes stationary and easily denied the ball during those stretches.
