Have you ever played NBA 2k14 with the Rockets? No matter what quick play you run it's always 'Isolate Harden'.
lebron puts up 30/8/8, 50% FG, 3 turnovers, and plays defense harden is a 6 to LeBron's 10. not close yet, and most likely won't ever get thre. it's physically impossible. best harden can do is get to an 8, and that would be something like 27/5/5 while playing SOME defense
I'm curious to see what you guys think of this: Who can truly lead a team better, Lin or Harden? Simple question. Count in offense, defense, on court and off court attitude, etc.
don't care about the ISO how many times did he got beat by the drive tonight? how many times was he ball watching and let his man cut to the basket? stop being so lazy you fake superstar!
tmac and melo knew how to play in the post and back down their guys with patience. they also had the size and length advantage harden throws prayers
If Harden turns into Kobe that'd great. He does have multiple rings doing all that but I guess Kobe doesn't make every scrub SG look like MJ.
We get it. You hate Harden. Ray Allen wasn't better. But let's not act like he wasn't a baller or is some insult to be compared to. And, you're point backfires on itself when you point out that KG (who was a certified superstar and a great defensive player) also had to team up in Boston to win a chip as well. So, time for a better argument.
Lin makes his teammates better. Look at what he did with Jeffries, Fields, Novak, Walker, and Chandler. 4 of the 5 aren't even starters in the NBA.
why are you so sensitive about harden cricitism? aren't you tired of him disregarding his entire team on offense to throw up shots? everyone knows its coming. his numbers aren't terrible because of free throws, but it's probably why he does what he does. he knows he just put in 8 free throws or whatever, so he thinks it's alright to chuck up 2 3pointers in 30 seconds harden is a great player, definitely top 10. he will get his 25 points. but he hasn't been a leader, and he hsn't played fairly. he doesn't seem to care, especially on defense
In my opinion, Harden is more like McGrady when he gave up. Lazy, doesn't hustle, no effort, iso's, heroball. Heck, even mcGrady wasn't as lazy and selfish. McGrady was a beast in his first year with Houston.
dont even mention it. it a humiliation for his talent, for this sport and even a bigger humiliation for the other team if he really think he can win it all by this.
