you guys are watching this AND listening to Reggie Miller. what's the luc mabaha moute / trevor ariza count at? update: the world hasn't ended...yet. the competitive advantages are eroding away, though. kinda hard to adjust when rules change after free agency.
How does he not have a complete game !? Of course he has some blame , no one is perfect ... but he is by far the best and most productive player . He does what MDA tells him to do . He used to shoot mid range step back and it got us to the wcf in 14-15 . Then he became and elite PnR passed along with his finishing . Now with MDA he settles for too many 3's .... because that's what he's been coached to do. He played off ball in OKC and he could do it again , but no one else can handle the ball . He played off ball last year ... this year he's using the backdoor cut more . But Paul can't do **** this year . No one can create offense for others outside of James ... that's as black and white as it's gonna get
For what? Championship? Ehh, You wanna know how I knew we were contenders last year, we were amazing even when CP wasnt there. Thats what contenders are, good even when one of their stars are not there(like Toronto). We look like garbage even when Harden and Paul are out there.
When they can quote Harden saying the team "understands every game right now feels like a playoff game" and they get crushed by 30+ with starters not even playing the 4th quarter....you can safely say this team is a complete trainwreck. Looking forward to NFL playoffs and baseball season cause this NBA season is lost.
Say all u want but harden is -27 on the floor, the worst on the team. I get it he isn’t the problem but he’s a BIG part of it.then again so is basically everything else
Did I say they would be better? No. But at least they would have two young stars to build around. This is what happens when clutchfans overrate old role players like Tucker. So let me break it down for all you clutchfans idiots out there: the team that gets the best player wins the trade. Don’t over think it.
Sigh, this is great, we are trash and now even more idiots are gonna make threads and give garbage opinions, its whatever.
bro you cannot blame this on harden. he has a bigger workload than just about every superstar in the game right now. he does not have the same level of help as others, and really never has since he has been a rocket. we have some teams that won a lot of games, but its always pretty much been harden and role players. they finally got another star around him last year, but he is past his prime. he gave us a lot last year, but father time is making his way to CP's doorstep right now, so once again, its james and some role players. we need to finally get this man some help that is in their prime.
Mike was probably smiling cause he just came up with an excuse to use in the post game...considering how embarassing this loss is, he had to find a very good one, and he probably got it, can't wait to read it
Harden does not have a complete game. It's very linear. It's dribble at the top of the 3 pt line for 10-20 seconds and step back three or drive to the rim. He doesn't have much of a varied game in between. He is absolutely horrendous when he looses his dribble unlike previous superstar shooting guards like Kobe or Wade who could use great footwork to pivot and score tough fadeway type shots. Harden doesn't work on his game much outside of those dribble moves at the top of the 3 pt line. He needs to learn how to play off the ball also. That requires cardio conditioning. He probably would have to loose some weight for it also. His feet are too slow and he gets tired too quickly running. It's why he struggles often on full court presses to get the ball in his hands because he is relecutant to move his feet.
Thank goodness TNT was blacked out in Houston, lol. I would probably be a lot angrier.. but I'm totally fine.
