    Nah its what losers like you with alternate accounts do. The fact that you took it as I was talking to you just made you snitch on yourself literally. hilarious. if it didn't even remotely apply, there's absolutely 0 reason to respond. Good job there

    Geez, what an unintelligent reply. I really was not expecting much, but wow, what a dunce. Might want to get a hobby other than posting on a basketball forum 30k+ times. Like perhaps... read a book?

    You somehow still can't stay on topic.

    I'll spell it out for you since you seem to be 5 steps slow: the topic is Harden.

    I don't think Harden was ALWAYS bad when it mattered. And the biggest problem wasn't necessarily with him, per se. It was with the coach, the system, and Morey. In the playoffs teams have an entire week to prepare for ONE team. Every practice, every inch of focus is directed at that ONE team. Naturally, they're going to hone in on trying their best to stop or frustrate the top player. That's why you need balance. Because our system totally relied on Harden (esp before CP3 arrival/demise) we had no other real option when teams went hard at Harden. It would have been better to have two inferior star players to Harden's greatness. That's not entirely his fault. It is, however, a problem with management and culture. No MLE signing was going to be significant enough to be able to make up the system shortfall. That's why our very best team was with CP3. He was 100% capable of running the offense without Harden. We never really had someone like that -- not even with Westbrook, because CP3 could pass, defend and SHOOT. Westbrook and Wall could not do all three and the shooting hurt us significantly. That's why we needed a culture shift away from catering to Harden's expectations of doing it all. We needed to be able to give him a break, even if he didn't want it. Because it doesn't matter if you play 47 amazing minutes if you're dead tired and the defense is totally locked in on you in the last minute. To couple with that, if your teammates aren't in rhythm because you've been doing the lifting all game, then they can't be relied upon to knock down the shot when needed.

    Our teamwork was best when we had CP3 and Harden's first years before we decided to run EVERYTHING through him. As great as he is/was, there's VERY little margin of error.

    Feel free to tag Clutch and he can check my IP. If that is not good enough, he can also check other metrics to see if I am an alt. There are various ways to check that other than IP.

    You + @D-rock + @YOLO will look like even bigger fools then.

    Harden stans stay triggered. Once again, none of you can talk on the subject matter so you have to resort to personal attacks.

    I don't need to tag Clutch. He doesn't need to worry about any of the dumb stuff you do. If he wanted to check how many alternate accounts were on CF's, he'd be busy all day just doing that alone. I don't need to talk on the subject matter. This thread was stupid from day 1

    Maybe not the smartest in the room, but certainly smarter than you.

    Anyway, since you have nothing to talk about on topic, I will take that as you acknowledging that you are wrong.

    Until next time I have to school some Harden stans.

    I'll stay pure and follow the way of the 99'ers @tinman

    This may be shocking to you, Curry actually has 4th q clutch shots in the playoffs.... Lets not compare apples to oranges now...

    someone who has alternate accounts is a flat out dumbass but you're welcome to think you're smart. The smart one who took a post about alternate's personally and snitched on himself. sounds pretty smart definitely

    You sound very angry. You might want to consult with your therapist before you have an aneurysm. We're just talking basketball here, no reason to blow a gasket. By the way, I reported all your posts for personal attacks. Hopefully @Clutch deals with this sort of toxic behavior sooner rather than later.

    tagging tinman and Clutch is supposed to make you cool or something? you can report whatever you want. It literally won't do anything besides make you look like a crybaby lmao. I've been around here and will still be here.

    Or maybe you're just wrong? And maybe you need to stop participating in his threads to bash him?

    Ya I mean that **** was annoying for sure. Houston dudes not appreciating harden when we had him. Every year Id hope he wouldn’t fold but he eventually would when we actually had a chance. **** I would even defend the guy but he’s not a rocket anymore so I can look at it objectively. Dude was a top 1-2 player in the season and became an absolute anchor in a few huge elimination games. **** was frustrating and he could turn it around with durant but he has yet to.
