How dare you blame harden Harden shooting only 33%, nope can't blame him Parsons shooting 4-20 in the 4th Quarter, nope can't blame him Bev is playing shutdown defense, only giving up 25/8 a game, nope can't blame him Lin don't you know You have to score double what bev dopes in have the time on the court You have to shoot 16-20 took make up Parsons clutch gene You have to shoot 67% to even up to harden
He made up for that G3 TO with that hustle play. G4 he deserves getting ripped. What I'm saying is you guys have the best 2 and 5 in the league, and every game this series is coming down to the last possession after blowing leads. It's bizarre how a team this stacked keeps doing this to itself.
really now...? Because even in his "comeback" game in game 3 he shot poorly.... We might be 0-4, but I doubt we would be getting blown out... It'd still be closely contested...
i don't think many people realizes this but his performance this playoffs has been literally historically bad. he's averaging 32% from the field and over 4 TOs a game. This is THE worse playoff performance of ANY "star" in NBA history.
as opposed to 1-4? Harden has been ****ing ass this entire series, and has given unacceptable level of low effort and body language on the court
Consider this...if Harden wasn't playing, who from our bench would be out there that demanded as much of Portland on the defensive end. Portland would have one less person to worry about and could cover us even easier. Casppi? Garcia? Hamilton? Would Lin be out there for 40+ minutes? Terrifying.
Harden played fine in game 4 but he was pretty bad in the rest. It's clear he's playing too many minutes. We need a legit back up 2 who can defend. They need to take some pressure off Harden. As good as he is he's not an elite athlete. He scores off craftiness. He needs more help, especially when they try to go at him on the other end.
No doubt Harden has been struggling, but I wonder how much of it is due to him becoming uninterested when we feed Dwight in the post. It's like he just stops trying if he doesn't touch the ball each possession.
Lmao @ "He's a backup!" as the Lin excuse de jour. First he didn't "play PG", then "get enough minutes", then he's "not allowed to", then "used correctly", now.. Turnover? Dumb foul? Missed layup? Stupid decisions? What do you expect from a $15M backup!? Talk about running out of excuses! :grin: Next excuse..."He's asian!"
There were at least three "bash on Harden" threads before the game last night. You want to know why people are suddenly not posting on them? Really? There are some anti Howard, Parsons and Beverley threads too. Do you really need to know why people aren't keying on them either?
lol seriously. It's laughable how much the "fans" expect of him. They expect more of him as if he's better than Harden who has actually played worse than Lin and makes more than him. That being said, he needs to step up his game. All the guards do. Parsons also. Basically everyone.
