Worse in primetime games: James Harden or Matt Schaub

Hey. Knee jerk is well....knee jerk. Nobody is perfect. Okay for example.

1) What happens when you start pissing all day uncontrollably, and when you get to the doctor's office, you suddenly can't? It does not take away from your incredible pissing rant at all. It just "happened." **** happens. It didn't happen at the doctor's office, on the "BIG STAGE." Nobody is perfect.

2) You're sex life takes a huge stumble because you are unable to produce a jimmy for a month or so. So you go to the doctor's office and notice that one of the nurses there is fine as a mofo. So you have a boner when the doctor walks in. Sucks, huh? Once again does not take away from the fact that you have been limp. **** happens.

In conclusion, sometimes people occasionally don't produce when the time comes. It does not mean that the next time the situation becomes erect that one will not perform at optimal level. Thank you.

 

Harden has major problems when the opposing team has an athletic or rangy defensive specialist or two on the other team as well as some trees inside and the opposing team plays zone.

If you'll notice, that's when he has his biggest issues. This is compounded when the rest of the team isn't really hitting their shots either. Delfino was cold today and that caused a lot of problems.

Also, Lin should have been doing what he did in the 4th all game long. That is the counter to when teams play Harden the way the Mavs did tonight and in similar fashion how the Thunder do every time we play them.

 

So Harden isn't allowed any bad games, yet Lin is allowed 1 every 2-3 games...

Got it. Just making sure.

 

Harden's our best player, and probably a top 6 offensive player. Standards should be set higher for him than for role players.

 

Everybody has bad games at one point or another. It's just how basketball works.

 

This is the first time Harden has been so cold. I doubt this will happen very often. I would prefer if he didn't force it so much but whatever, he just an off night. He's allowed that every 30 games or so.

 

who the **** is Matt Schaub?

 

Plays for the Yankees

 

Exactly.

 

Nah man you're thinking of someone else, Schaub plays for the Jets

 

Schaub and its not even close. I think he specifically waits for important games to suk ass. Like he's programed to suk at the most inopertune times. The opposite of a big game QB. Schaub will never lead us to a championship, but Harden just might someday.

 

I think Harden played great. Sure he missed shots, but his intensity and confidence was there for the entire game.


The scary aspect of the Rockets is the inconsistent confidence of Jeremy Lin. Teams devour that fear.

 

Bad thread and post.

 

Harden has been clutch. Probably tired from playing so much in last night's game.

 

Are you serious? Harden have one bad game tonight and you're comparing him to Schaub.. This is the first year where Harden really burst into the scene and leading his team as the 1st option where he was the 3rd option in the last few years....

Harden was the player that brought scoring and versatility off the bench as a sixth man, averaging 16 points per game. Now this year, without Kevin Durant and Westbrook by his side, he's the main guy where teams look to shut down every night and he's averaging 10 more points than he did last year.

Tonight was just a tough shooting night for Harden. But all great players have rough shooting night. I can't tell you how many times D-Wade had terrible shooting nights like Harden did tonight but worst. Tonight was just one of those nights where Harden can't get into rhythm. The officials basically took him out of the game tonight when they handed him that 4th foul on a bad play.

Its really tough when he's already having an off night and when he's not getting the calls he usually get on a daily basis, while on the other side, he is being whistle for silly fouls really affected his mindset. Because Harden is still very young, this is the season where he's learning to lead a team as the star. It takes a few seasons for a player to learn how to lead his team. You can't expect Harden to have great 30-40 points night every game. He's only human and he will have some really terrible nights.

You can tell he's really having a really tough time when he's missing easy layups all night and not making the FTs he usually makes.

 

Yes, that was the bright spot of this. Harden can't find a bucket but he was still confident in himself and still tried to make things happen when a lot of other players usually just shy away and become a big non factor.

Lin was really great in the 4th quarter and his confidence was growing in the last quarter. Lin has been so inconsistent this year. With Lin, I just don't know when he will bring his Linsanity to the game or not... But Harden, you know he will still be a factor every night despite having off nights like this one.

 

Pretty sure the WCF games last year were primetime and he played very well in that series. I don't think Harden is afraid of the spotlight.
