Problem with Harden is he never tanks or take rest day hence y we always made the playoffs. If he took last year off, this team with him as a centerpiece is kinda nutty. Him with a bunch of role players just beat up the clippers, one can't help but dream how far we go if he sticked around.
Houston Harden came out of hiding and made an appearance these past 2 games…Can he finally drop 40 tho? We’re almost midway through the season, and he’s yet to do it which is unheard of
Harden in his last 16 games is averaging 25 and 11 KD is currently the best player in the world Kyrie is a highly efficient 25+ ppg guy shooters like Mills and Joe Harris…nice role players like Brown and Claxton Nets have a top 5 defense and are just waiting on the offensive and shooting boost from Kyrie and Joe the rest of the league is on high alert, a category 5 hurricane is coming, and her name is Brooklyn
1st or 2nd round exit depending on the matchup, and if it’s a 2nd round exit, it would be like a 4-1 beatdown we lack too much talent to do any better
The travesty that dumbrick was given the mvp over harden because he averaged one more rebound despite being the far inferior player is now becoming all to evident but still not talked enough about
Played 40min. 39 pts 15/25 (60%), 4/9 3pt (44.4%), 15 assists (3 TO), 8 reb, 5/5 FT (100%) +17 He had a near complete game. The offensive game had a little bit of everything. Drives looked good, able to blow by with a two-three dribble size up. Passing was on point, that left handed bounce pass; he always disguise it well, comes out of his waist level dribbles. For longer bounce passes, got one in at high shoulder level bounce and an another with two hands for some extra zip. Did threes Did lobs Did floaters Did an euro step Did a dribble dribble size up Did drive n' kick to three (Mills) Did And 1's Did assists Pick and roll game with Blake and Claxton. Quickly quiet their double team Couple fast break off of turnovers. A leak out Didn't miss free throws. Grabbed 8 boards
December and January were always his "months", especially with the Rockets. Bodywise he looks like a bigger Baron Davis now.
This is the guy......this is like the first game I have recognized him. This is the dude whos the best player on the Nets, not Durant.
He tanked PLENTY of times in the postseason in Houston lol. And don't give me the "he was gassed" excuse. When CP3 was controlling the offense against GS, and we had them on the ropes, Harden stopped competing. The problem is he has no ambition in winning a ring. He just wants to pile up personal accolades and that's it
Imagine going from facing Harden/Claxton/Brown/Griffin to Harden/Irving/Durant/LMA in the span of a couple of games. Oof.
Delusional post... Harden didn't stop competing.. He had them on the ropes in G7 at home and we witnessed one of the worst officiated playoff games in NBA history on our home court in favor of GS... With numerous missed calls swinging momentum and changing the trajectory of the game. In the following year in 2019... Harden was the best player in the series and we lost in large part to Cp3 having the worst playoff series of his career at that point and being a shell of the player the year prior.
Yeah you must be one of Harden’s jewelry handlers or something. He CLEARLY quit on us. How? Against GS he would literally stand at midcourt while CP3 ran the offense. The year before that he was a no show that WHOLE series. Before that he laid down against a SAS team with no Kawhi, more turnovers that shot attempts. Not only did he have a bad game he basically mailed it in on national television. This is all documented with evidence
