    Very True!

    Harden is only going to get older and not better.

    I actually thought the Heat were going to challenge the Bucks and not the old Nets.

    I guess they are hiding Oladipo for the Playoffs and the second unit alongside Herro.

    Now it is going to be Philly who is going to be the Third Wheel with the Bulls.

    This right here.

    Harden is the type to fold when the pressure is the highest. He has always been that way as an nba player even going back to when he was 6th man playing against the Heat in the finals.

    He shrinks when you need him the most….and there is always an excuse.

    For great players that maximize their success, those would have been excuses become amazing anecdotes when reliving those moments.

    Harden has a bunch of excuses instead of anecdotes.

    About that, he is not a closer in the common sense as he gets gassed very often in the 4th but he could still make the occasional defensive play (against Dort in the Bubble), the occasional step back or the Eurostep to the hoop/floater.

    However what he does best, are Clutch FTs as Free Throws are his forte by nature.

    He is used to be barking at his teammates when he is backed against the wall.

    And he is moving like a snail bringing the ball up, or staring at the ball when he is not holding it without an inch of movement.

    I'm certainly cheering for your post to be true, let them keep on sinking. I just stated what I think can happen but certainly your scenario could also happen, that's what's exciting.

    Harden did the Rockets a solid. Got them a bunch draft picks and pick swaps and then help make sure those future picks will be better than expected.

    You realise no one will ever believe T for 3 isn't McGrady. After we heard it from the commentary team for years.

    That's an embarrassing attempt at backpedaling when your could've just accepted it.

    LeBron hasn't quit on a team. Good one. Good one.

    Yup, and for those saying Harden finally gets to play with a packed arena this is not good.... Harden does not handle pressure and bright lights well, Philly needs to let the fans know that when Harden has the ball they need to go tennis match quiet if they want to have any chance of him not turning it over or bricking...... Good luck Philly!!

    The Bucks are winning it all again this year, there just isn't a threat in the east right now so they are pretty much locked in for the finals...

    Bro you are seriously trying to argue with me about my name?? What are you 12?

    Lebron has left teams…that’s not the same as publicly forcing your way out mid season, by tanking your play and sabotaging the locker room.

    Iirc Lebron has only left in free agency, but I could be wrong on that. Either way, Lebron James and James Harden are not the same.

    Apples and oranges. Champion and playoff choker, Goat conversion and biggest playoff choker conversion.

    Dont bother. He’s literally one of the dumbest MFers on here if you haven’t already noticed.

    I don’t know why I ripped this bandage off. These guys will defend Harden to the death.

    Yeah they’re loyal to him as if he were Hakeem and delivered a Championship or two. Nope… just another guy with zero self awareness that quit when the going got tough and blamed others. Chasing him around city to city protecting his honor. Pathetic bunch.

    Says the one btching about him in every thread related to Harden.

    Did man stole your girl or something or man he replaced Lin? You have a weird ass grudge against a man that isn't even here anymore

    Ironic you say LeBron doesn't sabotage the locker room.

    Care to remember his first season in LA?

    Or literally what he does to anyone who upsets him on his teams?

    Of course, why would I expect you to actually remember pertinent information which would discredit your stance.

    Afterall, you're one of those clowns who believes winning a championship washes away everything about someone.

    Just for fun. When Asian Sensation is the only one who agrees with your posts.... yikes. You're not on the right side of things.
