Harden cheering his team from the bench in that 4th quarter was awesome to see. I don't think he does that last year. He's matured.
We aren't the Hakeem/Clyde or Yao/Tracy Rockets. We aren't the Kobe/Shaq Lakers. This team is the 2006 Heat. With two days (and almost a full quarter) of rest, Harden needs to find his inner D-Wade and attack the basket relentlessly in Game 7. We're at home; force the refs to blow the whistle. Take the transition pull-up 3 if it's there. Take the difficult step-back when the shot clock's winding down. But priority #1 must be: Get to the damn rim.
Harden has 17 in the 2nd quarter. That's what matters most. He helped keep us in it for the first half. In the third every Rocket **** the bed. Couldn't score for anything up until the end. We didn't need him in the 4th though, and honestly I don't care. Our guys stepped up in the 4th. Unbelievable. Obviously we want Harden to be great in game 7 though. We also need everyone else to be great, too.
Harden did his thing tonight. I was very happy with the shot selections. He is our best shooter, he needs to go down swinging.
I'm pretty sure he's sick as a dog or something. His energy just isn't there. It's probably the virus he had. I hope he gets over it with the 2 days off he has coming up
nope i didnt hop on the trade-harden-bandwagon after game 3 and ignore his top 5 playoff averages. he was sick and benched in teh 4thq and he cheered on the bench. he and dwight aren't going anywhere
Lol OP please continue being that poor man's Carl Herrera troll that you aspire to be every time you post. Apparently it's working. Effing Dallas nutriding jackass.
Terrible night for this swayyyy guy McGrady nut hugger. Suffers from inferiority complex and has been trying to make Harden look bad for a while now... McGrady amd his fans could only wish he led his team to WCF like Harden just did.
I seriously think that the op should be banned. Even if the Rox ended up losing the series he should have been banned for this thread alone. Just my opinion.
Looks like Frauden's back. 3-16 shooting while letting his team lose by 40 in the 1st home game of the conference finals.
Oh come on, you thought he played good in game 3? He's supposed to be the franchise player, the superstar and he lets his team get embarrassed at home?
