    James Harden was elite at passing from double teams making advanced reads from them.

    What Green does better is the ability to split doubles with his handle with his slender nature and elite agility

    Man **** that "right play" **** with Harden. This man would NEVER try to just go in and get a ****ing hoop. He would wait and, wait and, wait to pass the ball out of double teams then he would turn over the ball over looking at the ref for a call. Or Harden would split the double pass and then leave the court and then freaking Tucker would have our hope in his hands. that **** was annoying.

    It never felt like Harden wanted to be a killer despite having killer moments. You could never Trust harden.

    Jalen is great and all... but he literally does nothing measurable better than Harden, at least not yet.

    yeah f*ck your regular season. When it mattered, harden failed us and made us look foolish with the most bewildering games.

    I know this wasn't a playoff game but this is the closest thing to a playoff elimination game for jalen. If they get to the playoffs I hope Jalen doesn't fold like harden.

    One of best offensive players I’ve ever seen. You can eye test that **** all you want that man was an MVP and shoulda won another. Aside from Dream he’s the best Rocket ever and it’s not particularly close.

    Harden's playoff performances are vastly underrated, but he also underperformed because of two very objective disadvantages:
    1. Having to carry mediocre rosters above their ceiling all regular season in a ridiculously tough conference
    2. Scott Foster

    Particularly impressive was that kickout to a wide-open Jabari in the corner, rather than going 1-on-2 (or was it 3?).

    February Jalen might not have made that pass.

    i dont want to get into this, but harden fooled us time and time again. I'll never forget. harden was up on the Warriors and he expected the game to be fair. We know the game wasn't fair and harden still looked at the refs like they were going to call the game fair.

    You gotta take your legacy, It was right there. Harden was up on the warriors and he cried to the refs.

    I kind of blame MDA - you take on the traits of your coach and MDA was crying too.

    Jalen, in this game, the league was trying to deny him the game and he took it. this is a good sign for such a young player. I hope it continues.

    Thats all im going to say

    Harden would have made the right play and passed to Fred.

    ok, you are now overrating sengun big time. Shai is at worst a top 3 mvp candidate. Sengun is not even close to that smh
