im a kobe fan and he’s amazing. harden is on a different level. Kobe could put up the stats but he couldn’t put up the wins like James. we’re depleted with injuries and we’re still 10-3 wit the 3rd best record in the league.
You’re being petty, he still does not sprint back at times and stays behind to whine about calls. He’s much less yapping to team mates because his shot is falling and just all round playing better. I already acknowledged his better play and effort, so take that for data
Last 7 games (winning streak) Rockets’ ORtg w/Harden on court: 114.4 Rockets’ DRtg w/Harden on court: 95.9 NET On court: +18.5 per 100 possessions Rockets’ ORtg w/Harden off court: 97.3 Rockets’ DRtg w/Harden off court: 108.8 Rockets’ NET with Harden off court: -11.5 per 100 possessions Harden NET On-Off: +30 per 100 possessions 43/8/7 on 60.9% TS They’re BLOWING TEAMS out with him on court, playing great defense AND he’s creating all the offense. This is something that’s not of this universe right now and people can’t appreciate it.
LOL and I'm petty? so your complaining he doesn't sprint 100% full speed all the time and he is too vocal on the court???
I know you don't want an honest answer, since you twist my words and know what I'm saying, but choose to take it in a way that makes me look like I have a silly opinion. Vocal on the court, does that include yelling at others for their mistakes, but arguing with them when they point out his mistakes? If so then yes he WAS too vocal. Sprinting back at times is the same as 100% all of the time? I rest my case.
So what was hardens mistake and who pointed it out and what was hardens reaction? Or you just pulling stuff out of hatin ass?
No sufras porque ganaremos, ganaremos nosotros los más sencillos, ganaremos, aunque tú no lo creas ganaremos.
Harden has really mastered the game of basketball on the offensive end and scores 39 points on an average night. Do you guys think he will have a 70 point game this season?
he’d have rings if he wasn’t always surrounded by role players, CP didn’t get hurt and then washed the next season, or the refs weren’t corrupt rings are also a matter of circumstance...good health, being on stacked teams, or not having rigged reffing go against u Harden should’ve had at least 40 points in a game 7 win against GS back in 2018, but the refs took away 10 of his points on blatant fouls that weren’t called/taking away a 4 point play...that also served to give GS momentum, and the rest of the team couldn’t buy a bucket
He’d have rings in those instances too, but also if he had one of these insane regular season games in G6 or G7.
he was gonna have it in game 7, but the refs decided it ain’t happening we all saw how he came out to start game 7, he was ballin...refs didn’t call 2 clear 3 point fouls and took away a 4 point play...he scored 32, and the refs took away 10 possible points via their rigging plus it was 1 against 4 (or 7 if u include the refs) because CP got hurt so circumstances have played a huge part in why Harden has no rings...if he had a Big 3 at any point in his career like Bron’s been having or was on a stacked team like Steph, he’d have multiple rings
these guys are pretty much convinced primary and sole blame is on harden for the rockets not having rings
or maybe if he can wasn’t getting knocked out of the playoffs by a team with 2 MVPs under 30 and two other allstar players to go along with those MVPs. the odds were stacked and he actually did the best out of anyone Lebron Kawhi giannis included when that team was a full strength. he also has played with one allstar his entire tenure in houston, dwights first year in houston that was what 7 years ago. now cp3 was certainly a true star his first year here and it showed we won 65 and were maybe a hamstring away from a title. we’ll see what harden can do with his buddy Russ. but the playing field is a little more even. these next 2-3 years are his time to grab a title or 2 before the new wave of guys take over the league.
