    He's actually allowed to post on probation right now so I hope he doesn't say anything to get banned. He can be a good poster when he isn't faking broken english and citing false sources.

    unquestionably so. throughout his career, he has shown that he's clutch. his body of work speaks for itself. can you honestly say that about harden?

    Yep, throughout Harden's career he's had several clutch moments. Not as many as Kobe but he hasn't played as long as Kobe has.

    Also Kobe has many nights where he shoots his team out of the game in clutch moments. Ah well, it happens.

    Trashing harden is pointless. The blame lies squarely with the coach.

    It's not a coincidence that harden's efficiency has taken a nosedive in the last half of the season, while lin's has risen steadily in the same time period.

    Harden is clearly being overused and overworked. It seems like everyone on the planet aside from mchale himself recognizes that a more balanced workload between lin and harden is necessary if harden is going to remain effective in the stretch run of the regular season into the playoffs.

    Why the mother fork does Lin always have to do with everything???

    This irrational hate is so dammed disturbing!! :mad:


    There is only a fine line between being overrated and accurately rated, so much up to debate and subjectivity. Appreciate plz.

    Too early for the sarcasm detector.

    And how many years had Kobe been in the league by then? And who was on his team for that first ring?

    Scott Williams had two rings in his first two years. Kobe Bryant? Who the **** is he?

    Jordan was a rookie when he was 22, not sure that argument is valid about Kobe.


    I love how peopel dismiss what they saw first hand in his 4th qrtrs this year and the playoffs last year. Dude was cold blooded throughout but did disappear in the finals.

    Harden's value getting lower after Morey and Mchale empowering their super star unlimited Iso Ball for whatever reason.
    Not even mention defense part.
    So don't blame Harden's Iso.hes just a player want to maximize what hes good to do.
    Go ask Morey and Mchale, wth you make your best player so overrated by this kind of idiot No set Iso.

    There were 82 games this season. In about 10 of them Harden ISO'd too much. In about 7 of them he didn't do enough ISO and taking over when the team was in need of a leader.

    The rest of the time he played it exactly right. That's a great record for a 23 year old super star with his talent and ability to have.

    What Harden did wrong in 10 games out of 82 games doesn't mean he's overrated, nor does it mean that plays selfish ISO ball too much.

    Proper English helps people take you more seriously, just so you know...

    Harden at 23 is better than every SG in the league not named Dwyane Wade. The fact that he isolates at the end of games doesn't make him less of a star.

    If only McHale has the guts. McHale is a smart guy, he saw what happened to Mike D'Antoni in N.Y. when he OFFENDED his star player.
