He's not consistently awful? Everyone always looks at his FG% when it's a poor stat for a player that gets to the line as much as he does and a player that only shoots 3s and layups. Therefore most of his shots are 3s, layups, or FTs. Harden continues to have great games in the playoffs, but...
That's a hot take if I've ever seen one, not sure it's a good one though. You are talking about a guy that put up historic numbers for a few years now. Not his fault he's playing in a league where Durant decided to play the game on rookie mode...
Any ways, I'm used to the hate. I've learned...
Hey guys :P
No matter what happens, the main reasons I want the one seed is of course to have home court throughout the playoffs...but also to avoid the Blazers in a possible 2nd round matchup. Yeah, I'd rather let the Warriors deal with that. Call it PTSD lol but I'm aware that you guys would...
As a Rocket fan that witnessed the Harden/Lawson/Dwight trio...
Yeah, I don't see it happening. They remind me so much of that team, it just doesn't look right and the offense isn't going to make it better. Donovan is on McHale coaching level when it comes to offense.
I know they beat the...
Realize I was responding to a post that mentioned Harden bricking 3s.
Yeah, he's going to brick a lot more 3s when the wrist on his shooting hand is sprained. I honestly don't have to make excuses for this team, they've played through injuries all season and are still a top 5 team in the...
Also, let me clear. I'm not making excuses for the Rockets tonight. Blazers shot lights out, were over 50% from 3 most of the game, and Rockets struggle against teams with good centers (Unless they are the Clippers...lol) so it makes sense that Nurkic would be the difference from now and when...
Yeah, every player has a sprained wrist on their shooting hand, no way that would affect his shot...Harden missed one game (due to suspension for the Lebron Kick) the past 3 years. It's alright to give players a little credit.
Nurkic has been really good for you guys. Like I said before the season, it was good you guys did not get or really chase after Howard. It's crazy Denver had Nurkic and Jokic and I feel like they didn't get much for Nurkic.
He really should just sit down and rest his wrist, but he takes pride in playing through injuries. This guy actually plays on sprain ankles that many players sit on.
I never like to come around after you guys lose because I don't want to be the trolling fan that brags after a win...but...
Yeah. I don't know what the plan was there on defense. You guys pressed Harden for most of the night, that was the first mistake. Should have let him lazily bring the ball...
It doesn't really matter, he's probably the best guard in the NBA. Westbrook and Curry are the only ones that deserve to be in that discussion along with him. Anyone that's actually watched them play know he's far from being selfish and also that this is far from being an ISO offense. These...
Disagree there, if you are tired then your effort will look like tired effort. I mean Harden would play entire halves of ball and get not a single minute of rest. You call it star minutes and I call it something else. He's played 300 more minutes than the next player...
He doesn't decide to be...
Seems pretty simple doesn't it. You said that it was a small sample size and against lottery teams...as if they would have won any ways against those Lottery teams with Dwight. That is wrong.
Also, marginally better is still better? You sound like the Rocket fan that thinks Harden was better...
