I have cable, I watched every 76er playoff game this year. Did you watch them all? When Harden dribbles the air out of the ball that's all Maxey or any player can do besides setting him a screen. Why do you think MVP Joel Embiid was upset (clapping at James to pass it to him) that he wasn't getting the ball?
And while I am admittingly being tongue in cheek about how long Harden holds the ball, it's still a Harden led offense with all of its pros and cons. I have watched the Sixer national game and watched all of their playoffs game....... and the result is Rockets 2.0. Did we just not watch another Harden led offense look inconsistent in the playoffs? Why is this guy a good fit with our current roster with the way he plays?
yeah, this is getting ridiculous at this point you’d swear Maxey was PJ Tucker with hair on offense Maxey never got the ball, yet somehow averaged 18 shots a game in the playoffs and took 24, 14, 16, 17, 21, 20, and 12 shots against Boston in that series…How’d he get up so many shots while barely getting the ball unless there were 3 seconds on the clock?
Occasionally not predominately. A lot of the time makes an early entry pass to Embid and looks for an open space. Phili also lets maxey try to create and Harris on occasion. You have preconceived ideas about how Harden will play in houston without considering how he played in New Jersey or Phili.
And despite Harden's "brilliance" and Maxey's improved play........ another Harden WET FART in game 7. Another inconsistent individual playoff performance and team playoff performance. It's Harden. At some point it's about the results instead of the constant excuses and cherry picked advanced stats. Harden was a great Rocket, but ultimately he was more Karl Malone.
And now Brian Geltzeiler is reporting phoenix and Harden are mutually interested. It just makes the most sense
Bro now we have Brian Geltzeier of situs Xm and nba insider is saying harden and Phoenix have mutual interest. It makes to much sense

My guess would be Harden for Paul in a sign and trade. Morey loved Paul and Harden reunite with Durant
You can quote all of basketball reference and post every advances metric that you want Reeko LOL. YOU ARE WRONG. Jalen Green is a scorer, Kyrie is a scorer. JG and Kyrie don't need James Harden to get buckets but Harden will handicap the rest of the team if he comes back here. I never said that JG should just chuck up shots , but he needs to have the most shot attempts on this team and he needs better consistency (if Green is going to become as good as we all think he can be). That point is not debatable at all if you remotely watch any Rocket's games as I know you do. I do agree that the our starting PG spot needs to be upgraded. I don't understand the Tatum point you are trying to make at ALL. Boston had a prime Al Horford, Kyrie Irving, Marcus Smart, and Gordon Hayward on the team from 2017-2019. I'm not sure in what world you think Tatum or Brown would have more shot attempts than those guys I just mentioned (a lot of moot points in your argument).
It's not about preconceived notions bro. It's about understanding the game of basketball. Former and current MVPS garner a lot of attention. Yes Harden is very good at passing the rock but you also have to factor in the roster too. The way Harden plays benefits the Nets and the 76ers since they have a lot of older players.
I’m bringing facts How are u gonna tell me facts are wrong? meanwhile, u are here telling me Maxey never got the ball and just stood there like he’s PJ Tucker…a complete lie u are telling me Harden stifles all these players…a complete lie I watched Kyrie, Maxey, and KD next to Harden. Did u? Based off what you’ve been quoting me, it doesn’t seem like it so now that it’s been made clear that Harden isn’t stopping Jalen Green from getting a bunch of shots and touches, now it’s Harden will handicap the rest of the team Tyrese Maxey, the 3rd option, literally took more shots than Harden in the regular season and playoffs, but somehow, Harden is stopping Jalen Green from leading the team in shots… the Tatum point was obvious…shot chucking at low efficiency and “leading the team in shot attempts” or “getting all the 4-20 games out of someone’s system” isn’t some prerequisite for good development
I think this will show every shot attempt by Maxey these playoffs https://www.nba.com/stats/events?CF...eamID=1610612755&flag=3&sct=plot§ion=game
The biggest challenge Houston would have with Harden back is whom is his primary big in the pick and roll….. Smith or Sengun?
Nobody can win championship with Harden... It's meaningless that Rockets are only fighting for playoffs. We know playoffs Harden the past decades. Just please don't bring Harden back. You would feel Hopeless.
Since you like FACTS so much, it is a FACT that Harden passed the ball to Embiid more than any other player passed the ball to another player in the whole entire NBA this season. Most of James Harden's assist were to Embid this year that is a FACT. Let me ask you this, who is going to be our version of Joel Embiid on the Rockets next year for Harden? It's easy to lead the league in assist when you are an elite player like James Harden and when you are playing with Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, and Joel Embiid. Sadly, we just don't have those type of guys on this team. Nah the Tatum point was just silly, not sure where you were going with it but I digress.
Harden averaged 9.4 apg in the games without Embiid this year Harden averaged 10.5 apg in BK last season in 12 games without KD and of course Kyrie playing with a bunch of nobodies Harden averaged 10.4 apg in Houston the year he got traded playing with the great Christian Wood, Nwaba, Tate, Sterling Brown, and washed Wall and Boogie so there goes that talking point nah, my Tatum point was great…what was silly was your Maxey take and wanting Green to get the 4-20 games out of his system…what’s also silly is this notion that Green will have issues getting a lot of shots
