Yall are just gonna act like you didn't see his weakass defense, the half-hearted box out on Looney in a key possession in game 5 (elite post defender tho) followed up by completely losing track of Klay on the game sealing layup, the crucial turnovers down the stretch of game 6, key missed layup etc etc. An just be like..yea but that's not choking. Lmfaoo I'm done :lol
 
Harden, and every other superstar, has bad games in the regular season, too. No one is great for 82 games plus playoffs.

A bad playoff game is much more magnified.

This is hard to comprehend apparently.

And that's part of the problem too, y'all want these superstars of today to be pampered with kid gloves cause their TS% are great completely disregarding what they do in pressure moments. MJ was killed for years for bad playoff performances, Kobe gets destroyed for 2004 finals, 2006 G7 vs PHX and G7 in 2010 (which they won), Bron gets criticized for disappearing on multiple occasions. But y'all the ones that put Harden up here and he does himself with this level of play in the regular season. He gotta play by the same rules as the other all time greats.
 
KD out game 1 and unlikely for game 2


Blazers HAVE to take 1 of these games at Oracle.
hopefully both :nerd:

This is there chance to get to the finals.

It's just funny reading all these excuses. Like I keep saying these same dudes put all this praise on him in the regular season and he's unstoppable, legend, all time great, "Magic Harden :pimp:".


Then lower the bar every postseason. :lol:


He ain't what you thought, it's ok to be wrong.
Funny that you mention "the bar"....

It is expected that he needs to average 35+ points a game and be the primary facilitator for the team in order for them to have even a chance to beat the Warriors. He does not have a CJ McCollum on his team that can go ahead and drop 37 if he has a bad game.

Just read that for a second. That is "the bar" for him.
 
Uhhhh? No?

We traded JV, CJ Miles, Delon Wright for Marc Gasol

And we traded
Dario/Cov for Jimmy. 2 starters for 1
AND THEN traded
Shamet/Muscala/Chandler for Boban/Tobias/Scott 3 rotation pieces for 3 rotation pieces

That Gasol trade wasn't changing the full make up of team. You're plugging in one guy instead of 2 new starters + 3 rotation players
 
Yall love to down play his teammates but cp3 stepped up in game 6. On any given nite Gordon can match or out play klay. Klay is an all star and hofer but he's not out there scoring 60 on 2 dribbles every nite. Steph was a non factor in the 1st half. KD and boogie were out. STOP THE MADNESS
 
I don't know how Harden gets more slander than Bron losing to the Warriors.

The Beard and Lou Williams got more wins versus GSW than the "GOAT" and his merrymen (who were considered "no help" until they left him.) in the last few years.

Bron with Klove and Kyrie' mustered only one win in 2017 but Lou with some clippers and no "GOATS" came back from a 30 point lead in Oracle and got TWO games? Wat?

The media made it seem like it was IMPOSSIBLE a MONUMENTAL achievement when he even got that one LOL.

There needs to be a referendum on this Lebron is goat narrative...but of course nobody will speak on it.
