    anti clutch? if you're not clutch, you are by default "anti clutch". everyone starts off "anti clutch" and has to earn that label. imo harden hasnt done that yet, even though most of the homers here have anointed him as such.

    If you hit big shots throughout the season and on top of that hit big shots in PLAYOFF games you are by default clutch and if you also lead your team to wins as well.

    If you think being clutch is hitting EVERY big shot is clutch then you simply don't know what being a clutch player is.

    What a bizarre frame of mind. I'm so glad I'm not you, with all respect due.

    The only thing that separates him from the guys you mention is that he doesn't have the ridiculous hops and explosiveness that those players do. That's it. And that stuff dies with age. It's better to be crafty in the long run that depend on athleticism only.

    I see Harden more in the mold of a John Stockton type player. He's never going to wow you with massive dunks or anything, he's just going to get better at doing what he does.

    Harden is 23. He has a lot to learn from a decision making aspect. He'll get there.

    Hey...that's reasonable. I can respect that.

    More experience will prove valuable for him.

    So many people calling Harden "a superstar"................

    Harden is no superstar. He's never been a superstar, he's not a superstar, and he's never going to be a superstar.

    Harden is already developing some post moves, so he just needs to work on his defense, midrange game, offball movement, and he'll be a legit superstar.

    Harden has always brought the goods in the 4th this year so I don't tknow what is up with the not clutch ****.

    That being said I am growing tired of him. If he continues the Francis style of play he is useless to the rockets.

    The team is not in the business of skills competition, the team is in the business of scoring more points than their opponents.

    For the sake of argument, I would say free throw points are better, more free throws mean more foul troubles for the opponents which is a good thing, right?

    His posting style is like that OHMSS troll a while back. Wouldn't be surprised if they're the same person
