Harden is due for a BIG game in game 6!! Redemption coming.

To be fair the whole team has been inconsistent.

CP3 is the soothing leader, a star and an elite glue guy at the same time.

 

Do you not understand that those TO's came from driving into the lane and not getting the calls resulting in those Turnovers?

 

Not getting the call is not really an excuse. You can't rely on getting calls.

 

That's one of Harden's biggest things.

 

Lebron had 9 turnovers in an elimination game against Boston back in 2010...his final game for the Cavs

Lebron had just 11 4th quarter points in the 1st 5 games of the 2011 NBA finals against the Mavs...he went scoreless in the 4th in game 4 and had 2 points in the 4th in game 5

Harden’s turnovers were a direct result of having no reliable secondary ballhandler last night and GS being allowed to play overly physical defense by the refs...it’s not a coincidence that he had 9 turnovers in the 1 game CP3 missed this playoffs, and it’s also not a coincidence that he was averaging only 3.4 turnovers a game this postseason heading into game 6 due to the presence of CP3

 

Harden is dangerously close to verifying that he can’t handle pressure games

 

?????

Played against a superior team last night.

 

Aaaaaannnnd, ALWAYS HURT. How about you finish the season for once. CP3 will get another pass for being hurt.

 

It's also the path Leslie and Morey took after Yao......get a young cornerstone in Harden and surround him with veterans.

They took it to another level with aging stars and aging 3 and D players.

Injuries always play a role - younger players like Kyrie and Hayward get injured too. You can't control that.

They got to find a better balance there.....get more talented and younger talents for the bench.

I dun think Chris Paul is done, but they should have known one year ago that Chris Paul is just a place holder for a younger perimeter star.

His clock has been ticking. It's brutal in this league, you got to have an ace up your sleeve.

 

Spot on. Really don’t get why most people don’t want to acknowledge this.

 

James will be 29 next year so they better figure it out. You can't count on CP3 to play the regular season and the playoffs.

 

James is now playing against 4 all stars by himself, but if you say so..

 

While all of this is true, even Morey said on podcast that once theres opportunity to get a true superstar (and im not talking Blake Griffin level players or Melo and etc), you jump on it, and figure it out the fit latter, but the fit was perfect. Would be cool if cp3 was 10 years younger? Sure. But it ain't it, we can be unhappy about it, but the reality is that there are few star players and much more teams to go around, its even harder to have more then 1 star on your team. Maybe we get Lebron in offseason, but before that we still can win championship this year, that's where all our focus should be

 

aside from lebron, who is an alpha dog this playoffs?

YES.

Magic 4X
Lebron 3X

Has Magic, Lebron, Jordan ever played with a non championship coach as stubborn as MDA with a 7 man rotation? 6th man almost retired and 7th man still not 100% from a shoulder injury?

And who is close to magic, lebron, & jordan this yeat anyway?

stop whining & b****ing Harden don't owe you a chip

 

We shall see, he let 5 years of James Harden pass before the opportunity with CP3 arrived.

 

You got to be kidding me. Not only was this ngga turning the ball over but was the primary defender on Klay Thompson.

 

LOL this ngga

no he's not kidding you look it up

with >9 turnovers in a playoffs game
magic X 4
lebron X 3

LOL any true rockets fan know we don't play man to man defense
and if you truly watched the game you should know klay mostly scored on everyone else

 

What about the Spurs last year?

 

They were switching just to isolate him
