    he was always injured doing exactly what he's did these past 6 quarters, which is kill himself trying to carry under performing teammates.

    Gotta complain when you're up 3-2 on the Warriors! Being a fan is so enjoyable o_O
    Personally, I feel awesome about the whole team!

    To be honest that's bs. How many open 3's and layups did Cp3 miss, or Eric Gordon for that matter, if any of them hit their shots CP wouldn't have gotten injured?? **** doesn't work that way.

    We chose to play an ugly game and the defense is obviously affecting everyone's shot.

    Harden’s being aggressive and doing things to help the team win. He could care less about his numbers (listen to his post game comments). He only cares about winning and he’s doing the other things like playing defense and setting up teammates. He didn’t take many bad shots tonight. They were good looks that he’s made all year but just didn’t fall tonight. TheyMll start falling.

    Lol under performing .. harden had 41 points in game 1 Had 30 in the game before where he single handedly erased a 12 point deficit and turned into 7point half time lead while Chris was not playing great . Harden scored 19 of the rockets last 25 points from the 8 minute mark to the half time buzzer in game 4. Again one has to question you’re sanity

    He just had a bad shooting night tonight from the 3pt line but played solid defense and moved the ball. Stop making bull crap up

    It was nowhere near a Spurs game 6. Harden gave good effort tonight. Against the Spurs last year he flat quit on his team.

    Also, his post game press conference was encouraging. He looks like he’s matured a great deal this season.

    how many open 3's and layups did harden miss?

    cp3 and gordon carried harden the ENTIRE game. they also carried him the the 2nd half of game 4 (rightfully so after harden carried them in the first half).

    you act like it's so much to ask the mvp to playing like an mvp and eventually take over a 4th quarter like an mvp is supposed to do. instead of having your aging 33 year old injured point guard kill himself do what you're supposed to do while trying to motivate you to do it as well.

    This does not sound right at all. Harden affects the opposing defense hugely whether he is scoring or not. They still react to him and he makes plays, gets assists, etc.

    and he was trash for 6 of the most important quarters on the series so?

    no one said he never had a good game this series but it would be nice for the mvp to put together complete games .

    it was more than just a bad shooting night. his decision making was terrible, keep chucking when he was CLEARLY off, bad turnovers that turned into points on the other side, etc.

    james harden made that game harder than it actually had to be.

    So many times when Harden played poorly it looked like he simply wasn't there.

    He was there tonight. He was attacking, hustling, playing defense, but his shot simply wasn't falling.

    He didn't broke any record. He just tied without a make.

    you know what also affects defense too?

    putting the ball in the hoop. cp3 and gordon did a good job of doing that.

    He was hardly trash and his decision making with the ball was good. The problem was his three ball otherwise he shot 50 percent from everywhere else on the floor and contributed in other ways. Trash?

    To blame harden for Paul’s hammy takes a special kind of scumbag. Welcome to ignore

    Guess what: they are on the same team as James Harden. They are not in competition with James Harden. You are unhappy right now, and that is pathetic for you. Enjoy the win!

    you ****ing drunk, CP was 6 for 19, he missed just as many give me's as Harden if not more. Harden did his job in the 4th, he got fouled on 2 drives immediately after he checked in, made a steal for a break-away dunk, and then assisted Gordon on the 3 that sealed it. How's that doing nothing

    on top of that he had a block on Durant late in the fourth and played great defense in crunch time.

    Being an MVP does mean scoring in bunches all the time. I've seen Harden quit many times, he didn't today.

    cp3 and gordon made all the biggest shots to keep them in the game.

    do you know how to read? i never said he quit. but he was not good and he was the reason the game was close. if harden was even above average offensively the rockets win by double digits and cp3 probably doesn't injure his hamstring.
