James Harden does not have the heart of a champion.

So in your opinion, a "capable scorer" is someone who can be held to 1 point and 4 points?

You really need to raise your standards.

 

You are really holding to this leading scorer BS narrative to your dying breath.

 

Unlike you, I don't deny facts.

 

Preach

 

LOL

You need to raise your understanding of the game.

CP3, not SGA, was the player OKC depended on to be their superstar.

This is clearly evident because the team had multiple leading scorers throughout the series. They only won when CP3 was top 3 in scoring and assists. SGA is a 2nd banana, at best. The 3 headed monster of SGA-Gallo-Schroder as a unit is elite. But on their own they are flawed, including SGA.

Compare to Houston who needed Harden to lead team in scoring in 5 of 7 games.

 

And you need to raise your understanding of the English language.

Quote me where I said that OKC depended on SGA to be their superstar.

 

Hardens problem is that when he’s not getting his, he just walks around sulking.

 

That’s because they had to go through Houston, LA and LAC to win it so that’s a terrible argument.

 

You said they needed him to be leading scorer.

He was only leading scorer for ONE game. OKC won THREE.

OKC did not need SGA to be at his best to win, in fact he was the biggest liability on defense.

Rockets hunted his ass just like we are hunting yours.

 

When the re-start began, Houston and OKC weren't locked into the 4th and 5th seed.

 

He sulked his way to +24 in the 4th quarter, not just making the game saving, series WINNING, block but he was also directly responsible for the last 13 points scored in the 4th.

Learn basketball.

 

List ONE fact jackwad.

 

Did I? Can you quote me?

 

SGA led OKC in scoring during the regular season.

 

You are the inferring SGA is some superstar, not me. The 3 headed monster of SGA-Gallo-Schroder as a unit is elite, THAT is a fact.

OKC starting 5 is most efficient and THE best starting 5 in NBA. Fact.

OKC is a top 5 team in an extremely competitive and talented West. FACT!

OKC was best team in CLUTCH situations. FACT!!!

OKC WAS THE MOST WINNINGEST TEAM BEFORE THE SHUTDOWN.

FACT

 

I meant to reply to someone else.

 

That narrative is over. If anything the guy has turned that aspect around .

 

He still has playoff experience though? Against a MUCH better Warriors team. Like what even are you trying to say? What point are you trying to make? He didnt really play that badly this series You are talking about Shai like it was all on him to produce when it fact he had ample help this series many times, he didnt NEED to be amazing for OKC to perform. Such a ridiculous argument. And what part of OKC had the best five man lineup this season did you not get either? He was at best OKC's third most important offensive player and that's how he played and that's what the data reflected.


Bro, is this a joke? What kind of argument is this? Because Gallo has been pretty much killing us in most of these games. Yea he had a few dudes but he was what kept OKC alive in a lot of these games. Especially Game 6. Like I'm just showing you what actually happend and you still dont buy it. He averaged 15 points a game this series on 57 TS%....like that is efficient. I dont know what else to tell you.

LOL look at the Nuggets, they have awful AWUFL playoff defense. Cp3 would have killed Jokic in the pick and roll. The Jazz who lost to the nuggets would also have Gobert getting killed by their three guard lineup too. They would have been able to keep Dort on the floor a lot more too because then OKC could run their traditional pick and roll offense. Mavericks were probably harder. Portland is a wash, they beat a whole lot of bad teams to get into the playoffs and then got beat like the 8th seed that they were.

 

His game 6 and 7 were underwhelming. He was shooting bricks all night but played great D and that block was clutch. Game 6 still bothers me. I really hope Harden has some big moments this coming series.

 

Everyone wants to pretend that we just knocked out some chump team

Everything you said is 100% true which is why I feared this matchup more than some of the higher seeds.

Take pride in that win, Clutch City.

Sometimes finding the grit to close out these tough games leads to bigger and better things.

Those of us who know, know.
