First of all don't tell me to shut up. I am entitled to prefer whatever style of play I want. I enjoyed our last game more than any game this year. To me that was so much fun to watch. I am just not a fan of the slow dribble dribble ISO game. So what? Like what you like. Second, I don't know who you think takes more shots per game than James but that mysterious shooter got left off the ESPN Stat leader sheet. I just checked, and Harden is still on top of the list for the most field goal attempts per game. So, maybe you looked at FG% leaders by mistake. They show him 86th there out of qualified shooters.
Sometimes I just have to shake my head and laugh. I mean he even told me to shut up like a bully kid on a middle school playground.
Lucky for you we live in America, and no one forces you to watch James Harden. Yep, watching Harden's unpleasant game is 100% your own damn fault.
Someone post up the shooting efficiency/percentage of our team. Debs like to sprout bs, that there are more efficient shooters on our team, but james just likes to ball hog. I get that you dont like iso, but dont go sprouting bs about harden being inefficient when hes the most effective shooter on our team. @deb4rockets
Many of you are really not listening to what he’s pointing out and simply disregarding it because it sounds like a complete knock on harden when it really isn’t that dramatic. he simply pointed out as an example harden attempting as much as 16 3s in a game. its not the craziest idea to believe that every single one of those were quality shots. but of course harden has that degree of difficulty in his bag obviously. its also not the craziest idea for some of those shots to be shifted around here and there for what may be better quality shots, with a lesser level of difficultly. it doesn't have to be this attitude of oh you're not praising harden, wth is wrong with you. its about adding to the dynamic of the team and increasing variance in how to win. harden will adjust now that guys are back. hes been that type to be given the benefit of the doubt. there's nothing wrong with the above viewpoint at all. harden did what he had to do to keep the team afloat but now that guys are back, things will need to be adjusted if the rockets are going to be their own best possible version. Iso hero ball isn't that version thats going to get the rockets deep to where they want to go
This is the extremist type remark that makes me laugh. Just because I don't love too much ISO and too many forced shots doesn't mean I don't love and appreciate how great James is. I just don't like too much dribble dribble dribble ISO run down the shot clock plays. Sometimes other guys are red hot, and it is those times I would just like them get more opportunities to shoot. Too many times they just stand around waiting and watching James. I just loved seeing them all play a different way last game, and that's my preferred type of playing. Don't take one aspect and lump it all in a remark categorizing everything about him I do like into the hate side. I love his brilliant passing skills, his step back 3, and his defense at times. He is the best on our team at getting the alley oops to Clint, and that is huge in getting Clint more involved offensively. I also appreciate how hard James works at perfecting his skills. Regardless, I always root for our team and our players to do what they do best, and never say I hate anyone or I hate this team. You don't have to love everything about every player to still support them, and making opinions about what you like best in team ball movement doesn't mean you hate. Chill out. Not everyone likes the same things out our players.
If u seen earlier posts on Debs thought about "Harden's ball hoggin ways" you wouldn't be defending this poster. Debs set in his ways that iso is ugly and inefficient, too bad Harden is smashing that ideology. Harden isn't even a ball hogger, he gets people open, and iso a lot. Some people just likes to sprout bs and spread misinformation.
i must of missed where he posted ball hog and ugly and inefficient. i was alluding to his more recent posts here
I appreciate all the positive things you wrote and the effort you took to do that and I'm not joking. Saying **** sux is too easy. Respect.
Yeah I was wrong about the shot attempts. But you still should shut up about him shooting to much when everybody else on the team are missing shots consistently.
You are entitled to your opinion and I respect that, even if we don't see eye to eye about every game situation. Just don't tell me to shut up about mine because our opinions about every game differ.
Why wait for someone else to do the work? You are the one trying to make the argument, yes? Please grow up.
He blocked me. Or he ignored me the first time I did it. Not gonna double post twice with evidence for debs he's set in his way of hating iso ball
ok, its great to know age wasnt the reason why cp3 was moving around like an old man to start the season... but the fact is the threat he is going to pull something is constantly hanging over our heads. he has gotten injured in the playoffs like 4 straight seasons.
