    harden was incapable of achieving somethinch which was impossible

    unless you can name anyone who would have willingly switched places with harden and could have carried the rockets to the championship

    The problem with that logic is Harden also failed when it was very possible to the point where we were like "dude must be concussed".

    The logic is getting past you.

    If he can't beat the Kawhiless Spurs, then why even worry about beating GSW?

    Harden fails in the playoffs regardless of the level of competition. This can be seen also in how large his drop off in scoring efficiency is relative to other superstars.

    You might as well start supporting Jalen Green.

    He's going to bring Houston a championship within 10 years

    It really is sad that even jalen green can’t enjoy the room to flourish on this board with these nets fans that can’t let go. Now we know whose behind these attacks..

    We have to be patient with Green. There are going to be up's and downs. He needs our support.

    10 years is an awful long time frame, do you worry he will be tempted to bolt for the NY or LA market before then?

    It’s hard to predict stuff too far ahead in the future but I think Stone will have enough assets to keep legit talent around jalen.

    Imagine we get A top pick next year and those nets picks help stone pull off a trade to help jalen in like 5 years.

    5 years.

    Stone drafts Chet, the white KD, next year. Then Stone builds the team each year with his other assets.

    Chet and Jalen would be historically special.

    I did. Regular season James Harden. I'm not asking him to play like anyone else, or suggesting anyone else could have won it all, I don't want to replace him with any player. I'm just asking him to play to his own standard. If he was able to play at the level he did in the regular season Houston would have multiple titles. I don't think asking him to play the way he normally played is unrealistic.

    The problem with that is his play style his highly dependent on a third party(refs). Teams press more and are more physical in the playoffs. Refs allow that. Harden is a great scorer when you factor in how he gets to the line but there are many better "bucket" getters and in players who can can make a bucket without the assistance of 3>2 or fta.

    Harden has a very basic lay up package, no post game or off ball game. He needs the 3>2 and fta to get that elite efficiency.
