Harden was certified chump against Batum's late jumper

Hey playas, Harden and Rockets fan here.. believe it or not.

Save the hater responses because you know damn well James was a certified beeeootch (as usual defensively) on Batum's shot. That fool didn't even raise f***** arm, much less jump/challenge the shot. A f***** 8' shot got no challenge. Laughable and pitiful. I seriously thought James would step up his D in the playoffs. Oh well.

I have no problem giving any player/poster props when credit is due, but I'll call your a** out too. And Harden deserves it. That fool must ball offensively to justify playing time. If dude just gave average effort defensively we'd still been tied 1-1 this series even with his crap offensive performances games...... And speaking of Harden's crap offense, now his playoff clutch-ness is more in question than it already was. He's still young and can improve (and I hope so), but that bullish against Batum is very, VERY difficult to justify.... It's a damn playoff elimination game.

PAN

 

And?
That has nothing to do with challenging the shot.
But we know what it really was.... beeeeotch-ness

False. Harden was closer.

Don't lie for this dude.

 

Seriously, man... we're not enemies.

Can you not take an unbiased look at the play I'm speaking?

Pretty clear Harden was Charmin.

 

Harden was in better position. If Howard somehow ended up closer, it's because...
- Howard made the effort
- Harden made so little of an effort

Harden could've easily challenged the shot. He didn't even raise his arm. Come on, man.... raise your arm. How hard is that?!!?

 

Bet. Fewer butt-hurt people in my mix the better.

Batum shouldn't have had to hit it over our best defender. It was Harden's play to defend.

Agree to disagree
