    None of them played better than Middleton last year except for Cp3 in 2017-2018 and we faced the GOAT team.

    Harden was playing on one hamstring, he should not even have been out there. You can call it a carry, I call it Harden being an idiot and playing on one Hamstring.

    Just this post alone shows you have absolutely no knowledge about baseball, and are not a fan of Houston sports. Therefore, I choose not to engage in discussion with you about this. Good day.

    You acting like this is an anomaly with Harden because he was injured, pick any playoff series and there will be several games like this... What happened in those games? Lingering injury from the SA series?

    Point is they were all better at the point Harden played with them, Howard was still a big name and a premiere player in the league.. Paul, I mean the man is still battling out there and a sure HOF and Westbrook's game is inefficient but he has always been a tier above Middleton... In fact those three guys are potentially all HOF's...

    Swap Harden with Giannis alongside Middleton, and Middleton is actually very good... But the result will be a 2nd round exit.....

    Its the east so if we are just making Giannis disappear then I think you are right, Harden should advance to ECF..... But if we are swapping Giannis with Harden then Giannis ends up in Brooklyn and Harden wont get passed them. If Giannis ends up in Boston, Philly, ATL, Miami then Harden does not get past any of those teams..... The best chance Harden has of getting past Giannis is exactly where he is currently.

    But that's not the point, point is Harden can not do what Giannis did with lesser talent than Harden has ever had...

    This is one of the worse posts I have ever seen on this board. Your arguments are trash, go home.

    Yeah but my trash arguments have no response from you because there is not much you can do with it other than a cheap shot that adds nothing to what I said. Cool I guess... You must be right even thou you offer nothing that justifies it...

    Giannis on Atlanta would not win. Giannis on Miami would not win, Giannis on Philly would not win. Giannis carried agaisnt a bunch of injured teams, congratulations. No he has not carried harder than Harden ever has. Are you happy? I responded to your trite, narrative induced post with no logic behind it, just narrative. Get over it, Harden is gone. You dont have to keep posting this nonsense about how the Bucks are going to be the beat the Nets or how Giannis has carried harder than Harden ever has or how Harden made Dwight,Chris, and Westbrook worse LOL.

    You know what, despite Harden doing the same things for 8 years now..... I'm gonna go ahead and see if you are right, he should have a ring come this time next year... I'll ease up on your boy because its pointless right now, a new season is looming and I have been told Harden is an absolute killer in the playoffs...

    Lmao GREAT sense of humor. 2nd round at most for James, he’s a loser as he’s demonstrated over and over again.

    he’s basically parading to everyone “This is who I am..”

    And people want to keep ignoring it

    How many ducking years does he need? Has there been any player in history people have reached through the bowels of absurdity to justify bad performances ?

    And they will actually put him over Giannis despite Giannis doing more in less time and with less talent... I don't know how Harden does it, he using the same voodoo trick on his fanboys that he uses on refs.... Its incredible, I'm curious what they will say if Harden retires with no rings and a career of bad playoff performances..

    perhaps so but harden failed a lot of times to carry against injured teams....the best or second best or two of the best players were injured in all these series:
    2013 OKC
    2016 gsw
    2017 spurs
    2019 gsw

    he had a lot of luck for his opponents to be injured like that but could never capitalize on it so its only logical to doubt him

    and i doubt harden could carry this mil team the way yannis has
    because midrange ....yannis used midrange in finals to win game 5 and 6.. and we all know what would harden do...he would keep chucking 3 pointers when cold and run out of 3 pt line with the paint being tightly packed

    Harden was like 24 and we were the 8th seed.
    Again we were the 8th seed and our team was trash.
    Alright fine, that was the worse one of his career.
    GS without KD is still championship level. They would have beaten Toronto had Klay and Looney AND KD not have been injured. If KD and Klay went down that would be one thing....Kyrie AND Harden went down.

    Yes he could and has with worse rosters.

    Lol Giannis can have his crappy mid range two game sample size. He will never be winning a championship with the Bucks again. What you see now is what you get with him,he's not going to get better at shooting.
