    Harden so far has shown up 1 game and 1 quarter, the rest his team has saved his add. Tmac didn't have that luxury.

    Hardens teammates setting themselves up for success I see. Must have nothing to do with him.

    Lucky guy.

    Yeah and Tmac was the most disappointing star in the last twenty years, when healthy.

    Tmac is that infinity stone that makes your whole team disappear after the first round.

    T-Mac celebrated after going up 3-1 then he spent his next 19 playoff games (that he played) losing.

    He lifted his efficiency in the playoffs, 49.3% from 2 is probably his highest. The True shooting is relatively high.

    But sure, he lacked a shooting coach growing up. His numbers would be even better with efficiency.

    The turning point is where he started to be a facilitator when people had hopes he would do more than volume scoring. But he went down.

    His shots felt flat at many times.

    Harden never shoots you out of games even when he doesn't "show up" because he doesn't chuck like Tmac. How many times has Harden scored less points than shots attempted? Tmac pretty much averaged that as Rocket with his true shooting percentage less than 50.

    Making promises he can’t fulfill

    Harden’s best quality so far is his willingness to improve both on and off the court.

    Tmac was supremely talented, but he seemed somewhat less driven.

    It's not Infinite War for Tmac and his fans
    It's Infinite Excuses for playoff failures

    Ex fans at best, he is an Ex player.

    Analysts dun have that many fans. At least I do not think they should.

    James Harden is leader at the strip clubs when he makes it RAIN.
