T-Mac NEVER looked this disinterested in the playoffs

by that logic, where then were casspi & dmo?

 

No comparison. Kobe is kobe harden is a kid that still is lacking basic skills and in a media made " superstar"

 

Finally....Finally someone on here makes since. It's obvious that you watch and understand the game good sir.

Those teams with McGrady was dependent on him to score 40 a game and defend the best player. Had to hold Dirk too against Dallas. I have no idea of whats going on with Harden, but he either is disinterested are crying like b**** for whatever reason. He is the most talented offensive player on both teams and if he can get his head together, we can pull this out.

 

Love how before the playoffs tinmac posted all these crappy threads about Harden being better than T-Mac and leading us in the playoffs. Now Harden has played like sh** the whole series and looks like a high school kid compared to McGrady's playoff performances.

Does tinman have the balls to admit he was wrong? Naah, he posts random childish crap that has nothing to do with the core topic and looks like a lil b*****.

"tinman, what do you say about the postseason-stats of Harden and McGrady when comparing them? Seems Harden is playing really lousy compared to T-Mac?"
tinmac:"but Hakeem is a true legend, they also showed Mario! T-Mac fans are jealous hehe."

If you don't realize how stupid and childish you look, you shouldn't argue with adults.

 

all that being said, I want Harden to snap out of it and play better than McGrady! I think it's all mental with the man and God only knows why. How he allows Matthews to punk him like that is beyond me. He is not in the mans league. Hopefully that late flurry gets him going because we will need him at his best to get game 6 in Portland.

 

THIS!

The only time i see Harden making a consistent effort is when he has the ball on the offensive end. The rest of time, not so much. What's frustrating is that he gets a pass in the regular season, but this is the playoff where he needs to pick it up a notch to justify his max player status.

 

it happens after young players got their first big contract.
he got the money anyways, so many temptations and so many things to try.
Daryl's stat analysis cant measure mental state, maybe now just an early version of Monta, better get a shrink to avoid an Andrew Bynum.

 

When did T-Mac quit or not give it his all in the playoffs?

For all his faults, he definitely cared about winning in the playoffs.

Like he put up 46 when we lost to the Jazz in 2008

 

After Mario Elie, Tmac should be the next guest speaker for the Rockets in preparation for Game 6!

Lol What I wonder is why are McGrady Fans still on CF? Dude hasnt been on the Rockets in 4 years

 

When your signature shot is a foul and free throw, you're liable to start choking when you're asked to actually score the ball. We all shouldn't be surprised.

 

don't you have Bonzi Wells in your user name? hey, people like who they like!

 

great post. it's refreshing to know that some people on this message board actually understand the game of basketball and can recognize greatness and talent. i wish tinmac was as smart as you.

 

He is not bored he is disheartened. I don't think he has ever had this big of a funk in his life. If we stay alive long enough, he will find his rhythm again.

 

One of the best posts I've ever read.

 

This is nothing new though. He was doing it even when Mcgrady was here. Just classic tinman. :grin:

 

I was at the game and yup...Harden could not look any more uninterested in being there. Most of the fourth quarters huddles, he would be by himself at the end of the bench. Not speaking with anyone. Howard was not checked in either, but he could not sit still. Constantly went around speaking with everyone.

Something is seriously bothering Harden and I hope he snaps out of it before game six. Love the guy, but he is acting like a little b**** quitter right now.

 

dude is having a barney, Harden is not tired, I guarantee you, he's disinterested because he's not playing well, and his team mates probably ragged on him for his poor defense...

 

I got pissed that he wasn't inserting himself in the offense. He was 12 feet away from the 3 point line…. then he hit a three.

The dude is frustrated with how he's being played against. This is nothing more than frustration. He's frustrated with the calls against the Rockets that are non-calls for the Rockets. So, relax. He's still with the team and he's figuring it all out. He'll play thru all this b.s. and be the Harden we know in our playoff run.
