Shame on Harden for not willing Houston's centers into 29 points and 11 rebounds on 60% shooting. Capela and Nene obviously would have done that if they had Kawhi's 2 assists.
Curry great...Harden trash...cool... Curry would’ve won no ships here. He won titles with his stacked team. Curry was absolute garbage in the series against us until the 4th quarter of game 5. He was lucky he had KD to carry him up until that point. Harden never has anyone to carry him when he’s struggling. Where was Curry tonight? Nowhere to be found. The type of game Harden would get killed for, but it’s crickets for Curry. Curry choked away a 3-1 lead while having more turnovers than assists in the last 3 games of that series. He had 17 points in game 7 as he lost on his home floor. Meanwhile, Harden can drop 32, 6, and 6 in game 7 against GS as the only star going up against 4 stars and still get ridiculed for it. Gimme a break with the Steph Curry hype.
The best player makes the most money. Chris is our best player, lol. Our best player plays 50 games per year and averages 15 points. Oh, and he has alot of heart, lol.
I mean it's nice to be able to sit out 22 games to rest and still end up with home court. Harden has never had that luxury
Our fanbase is seriously embarrassing sometimes. We act like we're the Celtics/ Lakers and just expect to compete for titles every year when in reality we've only won 2 and have never had a more successful stretch of basketball since the Hakeem era, that was 20 years ago! Look at how much love Portland/Charlotte/ Milwaukee have for their stars, heck even OKC! They might never win with their guys but they love em anyways yet all we do is disparage our own guy who's the only reason we've been relevant this decade.
Nothing is more effective at getting your argument through the naysayers and making them a believer than over-inflated hyperboles. Works every time, 1000% of the time.
What position on the Rockets is playing superior to that position on the Raptors... . other than Harden Lowry seems to be outplaying CP3 -consistency mainly Kawhi outplaying our small forward Siakam outplaying Tucker (mainly on offense) Centers are out playing Capela Bench outplaying our bench am I Lying Rocket River
Lol how do you figure? CP was a mental midget all post season. If he was leading the team we would have been lucky to win a game in the first round.
The way a lot of the people on this forum make out is that Harden was the reason we went out. He gets the most hate, endless threads about him not caring or him being too lazy. Yet, he put up good numbers.... and even his shooting percentages were better this playoffs. He actually shot much better against the Warriors as a whole. Harden turned up for like 90% of our playoffs games.... can't say the same for the rest of the players in our team, with the exception of Tucker. MDA was also to blame for not playing Faried. The fact of the matter is, Harden was not to blame for us losing the Warriors. He and Tucker performed against the Warriors. Players like Capela and Paul didn't show at all.... and 1 game for Paul doesn't count. Even Gordon didn't show up for like 4 of the 6 games. Then you have inconsistent players like House, Green, Rivers and Shumpert out there. When you only have 2 players performing against a team full of all stars, you have pretty much no chance. You guys can keep blaming Harden all you want, but if it wasn't for him we wouldn't have even made it to the playoffs. We literally do not deserve a player like Harden in our team. Some of the fans literally b**** for no reason.
Well Harden has the uncanny ability to shoot jumpers in people's faces. It's the crazy skill of them all IMO. He shoots like no one is in front of him despite the defender being in his front pocket. If the refs would call it fair about landing position, Harden is pretty unstoppable with his best move being a step-back contested 3. He doesn't need that air mobility. Everything else you mentioned is mentality. He can do that stuff if he would just get his mind right.
LOLLLL this is the saddest thing I've read...if being a rockets fan is synonymous with being ok to lose than you do that buddy
The thing I see more than anything is Kawhi plays with poise no matter what... His game is Jordanesque without the flair... He can do it all!
I DONT think people are saying harden is the reason we went out. but champions find a way, no excuses. We are forgetting Hakeem who could've came up with a million excuses. Champions go out and do it. curry had a horrible night, but comes In the fourth quarter and kill us. Harden is not a champion. Ive been saying he has the ability to become one, but I'm starting to give up on that idea
Im not getting a kick, im a hurt fan seeing Kawhi and the raptors putting their foot on the warriors like harden and the gang should've of. I wouldn't put harden in that category if I didn't think he has it in him to single handedly Hakeem us to a ship, but he does. that's why its frustrating. at the same time yes Capela is a huge B*** and CP is too old to be a second player.
My dude, GS has beat the Raptors, the same amount of times they have beaten us. Does nobody care that KD is out? Like....Im like missing something here. Like Klay missed a whole game. Looney missed a whole game. Like what am I supposed to say here. Yea congrats, Kawhi had a higher TS% and played nice defense like the rest of his stellar defensive cast. And I wanna ask a question, do you think these Raptors right now, beat us from last year?
