another sensational performance by Jimmy Butler from Tomball. Offense/defense/leadership this guy is doing it all. Harden can never put in a complete performance like this, much less in the Playoffs.
Shut up already, we literally had our draft night tonight and your sorry behind is in here. Harden has put up 40 point games in the playoffs and he's done it against the Warriors. I guess foul baiting really does work in the playoffs.
Not only Can Jimmy do this, but depending on what happens this series w the Mavs, Luka may already pass up Harden in being identifiable as a winner when it counts. It really is unfortunate as a prime Houston Harden would have had a much easier time against the teams in this playoffs. The 2017 team would cake walk through the playoffs this season. Its unfortunate that Harden declined so much so quickly and people will put a lot of disrespect on his name. All he had to do was win once in his prime and he would have had a pass the rest of his career. Kyrie and KD disappointed this season, but they have their rings and will be remembered as winners. Sometimes it is just luck with timing and having the right team at the right time. Dirk was very close to getting nothing as well, Melo wont get anything but has people's respect for willing to play in the Garden.
Butler quickly becoming a top 5 most hated amongst Harden fans. The Harden fan loves to hate on anyone they view as a threat aka better than Harden. The correlation between being a Harden fanboi and hating all or a combo of these players is undeniable. LeBron, Steph, Giannis, KD, Butler.
Poor conditioning and lifestyle catching up with him. He's getting what he asked for. Maybe he'll turn it around but the odds are against him.
I'd like to think that but Harden had those really bad games against the Spurs in 2017 playoffs. Rockets should of taken that series from the Spurs with Kawhi injured. You also look back at series against the Blazers when Dwight had a phenomenal series and it was disappointing that Harden didn't step up in that series as well. I'm sour on all the big games Harden failed to show up and instead we got drunk/concussed/partied out Harden version.
It’s not only the Spurs and Blazers series these are Harden’s numbers in his last 9 games when facing elimination. 22 Heat 4-9 FG, 11 points, 4 turnovers -16 and ZERO points in 2nd half 21 Bucks 5-17 (2-12 3pt), 4 turnovers -2 20 Lakers 12-20 (2-8 3pt), 6 turnovers -29 20 Thunder 4-15 (1-9 3pt), 4 turnovers +9 19 Warriors 11-25 (6-15 3pt), 6 turnovers -10 18 Warriors 12-29 (2-13 3pt), 5 turnovers -13 17 Spurs 2-11 (2-9 3pt), 6 turnovers -28 16 Warriors 12-23 (3-7 3pt), 7 turnovers -27 15 Warriors 2-11 (0-3 3pt), 12 turnovers -4 His 1 series win was against an OKC team that was predicted to finish bottom 5 before the season began. He disappeared in the second half of those games in the series after the first 2 games as well and barely hung on to win after a miracle block after thoroughly getting outplayed by an unknown rookie named Luguentz Dort. Butler >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Harden
So true and a shame Harden will be remembered as a loser and flopper that cant play defense after all he did. NBA players openly laugh at him. He gets made fun of during his mvp ceremony on tv, instead of respecting his game. But a lot of it is on him for not taking care of his body but then again Houston had deep runs with him. If he had Luka's heart he'd have won one.
No one would complain about Harden's free throws if he were consistently making field goals.....like what Butler did last night. You're really grasping at straws here.
Just some more perspective on playoff jimmy: He shot 40% or worse in 39.7% of his playoff games. He shot 33.3% or worse from 3 in 55.6% of his playoff games. Harden's corresponding figures are 42.7% and 53.9%... So all the flak about playoff Harden and Jimmy is roughly the same rate of clunkers..... Focusing on a series is dumber than focusing on a month of linsanity and putting him in the hall....
Butler did it again. Carrying them completely with their back against the wall. 47-9-8 on the road facing elimination
Another player anti harden folks like to prop up to sht on Harden. Y folks waste their energy and time to sht on a former Rockets great is just straight out weird. Thank harden for his time and move the fk on. But nope 2 seasons later still trying to discredit and sht on one of the greatest player to put on the Rockets uniform. It was annoying to see the same folks btch about harden when he played for us, not appreciating his talents. Same folks now praising literally anyone else that's not harden Just to push their antiharden narrative. Butler About to get his a$$ handed to him by GSW if not done in by the Boston duo.
Who else r u gonna praise to sht on Harden? Lillard = sht on by gsw sweep Luka = sht on by gsw gentleman sweep Cp3 = man got upset by luka and is known for choking leads away Butler = about to get his a$$ stomp if he even get past celtics. Praising all dem players that have basically achieve what harden done which is nothing since apparently your standard of grading is if they didnt win all = choker Might as well not b a rockets fan since u can't appreciate the Rockets greats or those that spents years for our team. Btch about harden all the time he was here and now btching about him nonstop.
