    Bucks and Raptors fans have a decent case, the National media couldn’t wait to get their superstars out of town. Windhorst, Nichols, Ramona have said from their own mouths that they want the stars in places where they personally want to get a paid vacation in during the conference finals and finals. And guess what? Now they don’t have to come to Houston either, they get to go to New York cause they ran Harden up out of here too

    actually, no he didn’t...u can stop the lies

    must be nice to suck up until the 4th quarter of game 5 of a series, and still be tied 2-2, and tied heading into the 4th of that game 5

    Curry showed up for the 2nd half of game 6, and the 4th quarter of game 5, and was pretty much invisible the rest of the series...that’s 3 quarters

    let that have been Harden...

    next

    Harden video clip on Good Morning American. Maybe he should be the MVP this year.



    Where was this talent hidden all the time?

    It was hidden in TC(Theater Crowd) that couldn't fill up the lower bowl to save its life.

    Curry showed up when he had to. Harden scored milion points every time only not when he had to

    LOL i swear the universe is trolling this man...hes perhaps the best player most of the time except when it counts ....its always something and its not even always his fault .....sometimes its just weird things happening all around him at the most inopportune times... teammates either get injured or suspended or they forget how to shoot or even forget how to play or the refs do their thing...or the scrubs at the opposing teams go crazy... smh smh its UNBELIEVABLE

    "It is amazing seeing how James Harden has expanded his game from being a greedy and selfish player in Houston to being a basketball savant in New York. He now freely passes to teammates, he is a positive on the defensive side and is really the most dangerous player in the league. We all know LeBron will always be the best player, but with him aging Harden is probably the best on a day to day basis. I am hearing he is a gym rat, all his teammates in Brooklyn are staying late. Steve Nash told me he has never seen anything like Harden. Just amazing how he is rewriting his history on the court right now. " Brian Windhorst and all the other ESPN assholes in 2 months if the NETS are playing well

    Prepare for it, they did the same thing with Kevin Garnett when he went to Boston and even to an extent Durant when he went to Golden State.... Pau Gasol went from being some weird raptor dinosaur in Memphis to an all time great in Los Angeles.

    Stupid media doesn’t know anything. The narrative has always been about hype, marketing, dollars and not so much truthful reporting and analysis.

    Harden is not very liked as a player. The fact that that you can't touch him without getting a foul makes almost all fan bases hate him.

    I agree but Curry got the benefit of the doubt... he and his GSW was hated same way Harden and his Rockets were until he basically been a leader of best team in the history lol. Durant maybe scored a lot but it's Durant who needed Steph to win not the other way around. Curry has just this natural feel for the game, always keeps the defense honest with his movement on and off the ball its really amazing how he plays. of course he had his share of failures but also has well documented great crucial games. And James is just that 2k player that has maxed every stat but just the person with controller in charge don't know how to win tough games, forcing stuff in the clutch and always turning the ball over or putting up tough shots. We all have that friend and you know what I talk about

    If the Nets are successful, the “narrative” from the usual haters will probably be that Harden couldn’t do it as the number 1 guy, and that he’s best suited as a complementary star player. In a scenario under which Durant is lost for the season and Harden has to assume the same role he had in Houston, all the old criticisms and narratives about his game will resurface. It’s no so much about location as it is his role on the team, the way he plays according to that role, and the success of the team.

    Bunch of HOF’s still sucking Harden’s **** as if he were still a Rocket. Go do that **** on the Nets forum.

    Maybe, but I really don't think so. James Harden is going to be the one driving the offense. It isn't like Durant is LeBron James or Jordan with a record of a string of titles. The narrative will change quite a bit as long as Harden plays solid. Opportunity plays such a large part in whether a player wins a title and how they are remembered.

    I kinda feel like an old fat wife, who just got cheated by her also old fat husband, with a 20yo hottie and all of sudden he starts losing weight.
