    Can lebron beat the Warriors?I don't think so . He just beat a team without superstar.

    Anyone could have shaky moments, including Michael Jordan.

    Come on man, 4 superstars? That’s really flattering for Klay and Green. 2 superstars and two star level two-way players.

    That game was winnable. He had a chance to erase all that BS about him. The West will only get better, you have to take advantage of the opportunities. I still love Harden im just losing faith in his ability to erase the “frontrunner” or “regular season player” rep.

    The moment CP3 went down, I knew this series was over. Harden just doesn't have it in him to lead a team in the post season. I always thought he is a good regular season #1 but we needed CP3 to be the post season #1 to take us through. :(

    Yeah, Harden made Trevor Ariza go 0-12. That’s right, it’s all on Harden. Idiots.

    We only lose 9 pts this game.

    How could you know Kobe or Lebron would not make 45 pts to win this game?

    Without Iggy, no Warriors player could stop Kobe or Lebron.

    Harden is a God, but we need him to elevate into a Kratos for the years to come. Improve on ball handling, cut down on turnovers, and better crunch time decisions and we're all set.

    because we've seen kobe go 6/24 in important game 7's before.

    we've seen him blow a 3-1 lead and quit vs. an inferior team before.

    no shaq, pau, or phil and ref bias. he probably loses that game / series.

    They were not always playing like that.

    Harden already did his best.

    Harden doesn’t deserve significant blame for tonight. He played well in the first half. However, I wish he would diversify his offensive game for the playoffs. It’s either difficult step back threes or driving into traffic hoping to get foul calls which don’t come as freely in the regular season. But as a whole, I want more moving and cutting within D’Antoni’s offense like we saw in game 2 vs the Warriors.

    The Chauncey piston offense. Midrange pick after pick. They didn't rely on no calls or fresh legs.

    Dont undersell them, they have 4 top 20 players, Klay and Dray are absolutely elite level players.

    What team has CP3 ever led to the Finals?

    Ok then 1 superstar vs 2 superstars and 2 stars. So what? He's still extremely outnumbered and out gunned. I don't care how "winnable" a match seems, when you have 2 superstars and 2 stars vs 1 star the team with such a huge star advantage will always be favored to win. Even Jordan couldn't get past Pistons and Lebron got owned by the Spurs. And GSW is better than both those two teams so gimme a break.

    To even criticize Harden at point is a joke. Yeah, shame on Harden for not beating 2 superstars and 2 stars by himself :rolleyes:
