    You are imagining things. He said he's more worried about team defense than his offense.

    I mean he could try to outscore LMA...but seeing as LMA is playing at a Jordan level right now that means Harden would have to be...Oscar Robertson? Who?

    It's probably a better idea to get LMA to miss a few shots or get it out of his hands than try to outscore him right now.

    You should step away from the keyboard. You're doing much more damage than good. If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were an LOH trying to make a bad name for Lin fans.

    He's trolling all these guys and they are falling for it. He baited Harden and Harden fell for it.

    Where I am coming from is our fan base is ****ing terrible.

    A mix of spoiled rotten ****ing children who whine and complain about everything all season long, show zero patience, show zero empathy, and demand personnel changes after every turnover. They can't even wait till after games are over to bump their idiotic blame threads. And now are seemingly in the process of demonizing our franchise player, the best thing that has happened to this franchise in 20 years.

    That's to be expected Jay. I always say fans are going to be fans. And reporters going to be reporters. Expectations are very high when it comes to certain players , mainly high paid Superstars.
    Harden is frustrated with himself because he knows that he is much better than the performance he displayed so far. He don't like talking to the media after bad performances. We have seen that several times this season. Dude would not talk to the media after a game like tonight.
    We need him to bounce back in the major way. Hopefully this type of scrutiny will motivate him and the rest of the team. This series is not over yet.

    He had other missed assignments besides that... it's just that the Matthews layup sticks out the most masking the other mistakes because a play like that should NEVER EVER happen in any game let alone a pivotal playoff game with a minute left.

    Harden play like crap these two games, and he needs to step up and earn his money that. Said.... this post made me LOL when you called him "lazy, casual, strip club seeking tool" followed by "ill reserve judgement until the series is over":grin:

    Basically stating "we don't have plays and we can only run in transition". This style won't win, even with Nash the suns could only go so far. We need to get a coach that can utilize the players strengths. Shooting 30 3s and just depending on transition isn't gonna win especially with no defense. Harden needs to take liability for his inept defense and poor offense. If you go cold don't starve the rest of the team of the ball.

    I wonder if Fran made his way into Portland's locker room and asked Lilliard about his poor shooting over and over. He actually shot worse than Harden tonight.

    Dragic just won Most Improved Player Award.... When Lin joins another team, he might win the MIP Award too...........

    Are you saying I'm overreacting? After an 82 game odyssey and your team blows 2 playoff games at home you wouldn't be pissed? Especially with the team's max player playing his 2 worst games of the season?

    In the post game interview Mchale said that Mathews wasn't James man on that play. Howard was supposed to be back and James was supposed to stay up and trap.

    Chill dude.

    I wasn't even the OP of the thread and I hardly posted on it. But come on now, isn't a valid argument as PG is performaning to help his team in the play off? What has Harden's done in all the Rocket's playoff games so far?

    Yes, you're overreacting.
