Well, Harden's postseason failure narrative continues to grow He's still an awesome player all-time, but it is what it is At least there's this....
On the one hand, his +/- was amazing last night, and I don't care what anyone says, but that doesn't happen if you're not doing something on defense in a playoff game. On the other hand, it's never good if the Onion starts clowning you. (Sorry if already posted): James Harden not flopping with same agility. “After 13 seasons in the NBA, I’d be lying if I said I could pretend to get fouled with the same quickness that I once did,” said Harden, adding that he found it increasingly difficult to recover from flopping several times in one game so he could be ready to flop at his best in the next one.
Sure is drawing a lot of attention for someone that is supposedly washed. The Heat started doubling/trapping and building the "wall" after the first quarter of game three and the second halves of games one and two. They generated higher quality shots in game two as well, but they shot 20% on open and wide open threes while the Heat shot about 15% higher (through games one and two). Can tell most people here are just looking at box scores.
Context always matters. You know that. You're a Houston fan, right? He's a playoff choker. though... true
or philly guys hated each other less.....if you paid attention i said a lot of times(meaning not always)... also hitting a shooters pocket matters as well and i am sure theres a lot of other stuff as well
well theres a reason why he always creates enough good looks but his teammates never hit them at high enough % to win it all...

Like i said, try harder when you troll. This is really weak. He’s literally one of the all time great passers and you’re trying to say he’s not…..embarrassing as usual
Yes yes. Consecutive losing seasons and lottery picks are so much better than making the playoffs every year. I love watching my team lose. It really makes me happy.
you mean regular season all time great? as i said theres more to passing the hitting the shooters pocket and making a crosscourt pass...ball has the energy breh...and the ball doesnt lie...its really strange that ppl he passes to miss the open shots in the most inopportune times...how unfortunate... btw i also remember when the all time great passer could rarely make a timely pass to DMO...very uncharacteristic of him...
Enlighten us with the "more to passing" statement, you made. What more can the passer do, to ensure the catcher/shooter hits the shot? Please tell us, because we would all love to know your reasoning. Because you're essentially saying the passes are accurate and precise, but because the shooter couldn't hit the shot, that's somehow on the passer? What?
