Another ridiculous take from a Harden fanboi. Lmao @ calling Giannis someone who sucks in the playoffs ever year while simultaneously sucking off Harden 24/7.
Giannis is only a Champion cause your bearded bum hero was injured? Lol like he was gonna stop or do anything to Giannis. Also we just gonna forget Giannis was playing thru injury on what looked way nastier. Only 27 and a 2 X MVP and champion already. I’d be jealous and hate him to if my favorite player was a perennial loser like Harden too.
Ya…..if the nets guys didn’t get injured the bucks are drawing stone dead. Even you can’t think the bucks had a chance….though nothing you say would surprise me
The thing is yall continue to put it all on james as if hes supposed to magically win a ring with a mediocre roster. All you see around here james didnt get it done. Its a TEAM sport, and rockets were always outgunned. Its like yall dont understand just how much he had to do for this team and understand the value of a great supporting cast.
Was the roster Morey said he specifically put together to beat GSW mediocre? Harden has always had great players around him. He either choked or quit.
The roster was good, but he was also going against by far the best team in nba history past, present, or likely even future. Ya you can blame him, but no other team in the nba even had 1 competitive series against them
So how is it that The Rockets were up 3-2 and in game 7 up at halftime? They were so dominant yet they were on the ropes... We see this all the time, teams that get eliminated in 5-6 games and never had the series lead were just not good enough to advance. Teams that were up, had a chance to close it out but didnt are considered to have choked..... Harden is the only player that has actually choked multiple times yet people blame something else to erase history.....
I guess i view it more as a massive credit to him to even having a lead when his team was at such a massive talent deficit then i blame him for losing to a team that was far far superior. It’s also pretty disingenuous to pretend scott foster didn’t put the warriors on his back in one of the most dominant playoff performances in nba history
I am just talking about injuries. I for one am not putting not winning a championship all on Harden. Lots of great players don't win championship because they never played on a great team. But I find that a lot of Harden fans want to downplay other star players' winning by claiming injuries of other teams. They say Giannis wouldn't have won if not for other teams' injuries. Curry wouldn't have won if not for other teams' injuries. And whoever win this year wouldn't have won if not for other teams' injuries (unless, of course, if it's Harden, it would be amazing accomplishment! LOL). There are injuries to key players every year. So every year's championship is not worthy according to this logic.
Crazy seeing a starting lineup with Brook Lopez, Bobby Portis, and Giannis. Interested to see how well it works defensively. Lopez and Portis being able to stretch the floor allows them to go with this super sized lineup.
The Celtics are a great defensive team and deserve a lot of credit for shutting down KD and Irving in the 1st round, but many gloss over the fact that they gave up a 61% TS to the Nets Team during that series on 50/42/72 splits. They still won because they scored at a 60% TS clip, were a better rebounding team and better in the clutch. That formula is unlikely to work against the Bucks who are also a great rebounding and defensive team. Bucks right now are killing them from the 3 point line, shooting 10-20. They're not going to shoot this well throughout the series, but the Celtics cant keep giving them these open looks while scheming against Giannis.
