    Harden is a pretty unlucky Guy. Maybe that's why he wears 13. Nothing seems to lineup for this, dude.

    I mean, it could happen. Last year was CP3's year to get to the finals. Last year was Giannis year to win his championship. It only takes one good run. One run of luck. Harden is due.

    Not really rooting for him to do it though. Rockets need those picks, lol. But if Harden does finally push through, good for him.

    Barkley and Phoenix were due but never made it.

    And also 82 games and Playoff Play In games, that is one cray post Covid schedule.

    I hope a good team would win out and not just the old 3 star system.

    Edit: The funny thing with 'older' superstars is that they have the stamina for the first 2 rounds and usually get injured, gassed etc.

    You would need at least 2 superstars to play their season best in the 3rd round and beyond. Not as easy.

    And have 2 other rotation players step up big as well.

    Kyrie is a wild card not in a good sense.

    best or second best or 2 best guys on the opponents team go down with an injury...

    this guy just could never capitalize on his good luck which he had plenty of

    seems like a lot of backward rationalizations...
    hakeems teams was 6th seed and he won it all

    perhaps the teams were trash because harden wouldn't give up the ball and is not a true team player? or if he could shoot a good % on 3s( this is a strong proof)

    i saw yanis deferring and letting Middleton or Holiday carry and harden would never allow for DMO to do 2 postups in a row? why?


    or perhaps if harden scored 50 like yanis did perhaps his trash teams would have been good enough to at least advance vs injured opponents if not win it all?


    see this is where the statistics become meaningless...so harden is the true winner because he takes only the efficient shots but always misses them when it matters and yanis is the loser because he takes inefficient shots eventho he has hit them when it mattered the most....lololololol

    playing in finals is always gonna be a small sample size...when he got there he took the easier shots...had harden tried midrange perhaps he would have won it all by now

    nah he couldnt win with the bucks roster because he refuses to take what defenses give him

    yanis took what defenses gave him and he won it all...

    hes still bad midrange shooter but he at least took the shots and destiny gave up and handed him the trophy in the end

    harden is so stuck in his ways he wouldnt even take the midrange

    he would rather go 2-13 trying to hit the home run from the stepback hill he fell in love with and gona die on

    Why? Literally explained what happend.
    I mean, Hakeem is Hakeem. Harden is not Hakeem. Hakeem also had Ralph Sampson for one of those finals runs.

    Lol, who did you want to have the ball?

    Did you see any of those guys on our team? The one time we did, he DID defer to him(that being Chris Paul).

    Maybe if we were playing the Suns all the time, you might have an argument here.
    I mean, Giannis is also all time efficient at getting to the rim, credit to him for making those shots but those shots arent going to be whats going to get him a ring in Milwaukee again. He's likely going to have to leave them.

    Thats not true though, Harden takes the floater now.

    Lol yea the defense gave him a bunch of injuries to many different teams.

    Good for him, he deserved it. Could not have happend to a better dude.

    He's not gonna have to do that on this team.

    Good luck again to the group of posters who really needed those injuries to happen last season.

    Probably going to be your best bet again this year to be happy.

    This was my first thought. That hat pulled back further than LeBron's headband was back in the Heat days.

    The finals run was incredible, but lets not revise history. That team totally underachieved during the regular season. We were the defending champs with a prime Dream, and were playing 500 ball most of the season. It took getting the second best SG behind MJ to get us over the hump.
