    I know based on the GS series which were ALL close. We needed wing depth and good rebounders, which Temple and Green were. And lol, you were the one who said KD was a game away from getting injured dude. There is no way of knowing that.

    We were not winning a championship either of those years. Kawhiless Spurs was one game and it was the worst game of his career.

    Like I said, all Superstars have blemishes, some just either get breaks or have teams that cant back them up. Harden rarely had either like his contemporaries.

    But actually, I can't blame him. He is what he is. An incredibly talented player, but just not with the Alpha-Type mentality. Brooklyn is really the perfect place for him, where he can play in KDs shadow. Let us be honest, BKN is KDs team. KD will get the blame when it doesn't work out. No pressure for Harden.

    Of course, the downside is that almost no one mentioned that Harden also played full minutes with an injured hamstring because everybody was busy applauding KDs heroics. But nobody puts expectation for Harden either so I guess he is ok with it.

    You know, Hardens crunch-time disappearing acts were not just on one occasion. It has become a template.

    Saying Giannis delivered and Harden didnt isnt clowing on Harden, that just the reality.

    Saying Giannis is better than Harden isnt clowning on Harden, thats just reality.

    Dont deny reality.

    Ain’t nobody clowning Moses Malone. Why don’t you remove Harden’s D from your mouth and give your jaws a rest for once.

    Name one time besides the Spurs game where we had an advantageous position but it was Harden's fault we lost.

    Its not. Its ignoring facts to help your narrative.

    If Harden doesnt get injured, this isnt even a conversation lol. Dont act like Giannis has faced even close to the competition that Harden has.

    Dont ignore facts.

    Lmao, anyone go look at this dude's sorry post history and tell me who really talks about Harden all the time LOL. YOU need to get off his jock. He doesnt play for the Rockets anymore, the bad man cant hurt you LOL. But you cant cause you have nothing else to contribute. And its not Moses Malone, it will never be Moses Malone.

    How the hell is something a fact if it begins with "if" FACT IS, Harden got injured and he got sent home as a result. That's not Giannis' problem.

    People are saying now Giannis has potential to compete for GOAT. Harden's never been in that conversation ever.

    I never said it was Giannis's problem, but there is no denying that he would have lost had the Nets been healthy. Its that simple.

    Lmao mmk. Will see how many chips he wins from here on out lol, GOAT huh alright.

    Lemme know when Harden has a finals MVP then you can start making an argument. It's that simple.

    Would have been similar if KD AND Draymond/Klay to get injured on that GS team. Or for that to happen in 2017-2018. But keep the narratives going, everyone will run with it.
