Gordon can also give you 9 points in the biggest game of the season. Cp3 was horrendous in game 5. Clint was terrible the entire series. Y’all have a weird infatuation with harden

If the rockets lose tonight:
“You can’t blame Harden. They were never supposed to win. What did you want him do”
CLOCKWORK
It’s always somebody else fault.
Never, “I’m tired of James **** he needs to step his conditioning up”.
There were multiple plays of him just standing there on defense. Not trynna box out or rebound anyone in the 4th quarter of games 5&6 but it’s not his fault cause they weren’t supposed to win anyway

Magic Harden
Better than Kobe
Greatest offensive season in the last 30 years
Most unstoppable player ever
Yet he's not to be judged on these same standards when he fails in spectacular fashion? Nah man.

That addresses nothing that I said. Steph really the MJ of this generation since Lebron said his biggest achievement was beating him.
Oh, btw, they were going after KD regardless before that loss, Bron didn't make them do anything.
Bron was also recruiting KD that year too...
Fox News and LeSPN nor LeJump tell you those storylines.

You right he don't have a CJ. I been telling these Rockets fans for 2 years that their roster ain't that talented.
Their roster is flawed and Harden is part of that problem. You can dress up the #'s however you want but the fact is his game drops off in the playoffs. Shooting 41/32% is terrible for your so called MVP and all time great. He has played like complete **** in too many elimination games.
He shoots what 86% from the FT line but shot 58% in that game. The list just keeps growing.

young steph had the confidence to say he's a better offensive player than bron and i still don't think that's hyperbole.
there's no doubt that steph went into unanimous MVP x super saiyan gawd mode in game 6...but it took him an entire half to get into his rhythm. first two quarters, he was struggling badly to find his shot in a way that i haven't seen KD struggle in the playoffs since joining the warriors.

I don't really see where the argument is, I just mentioned fit, chemistry and all the other factors. Sure, we have a better starting 5 on paper, but there's more to the game than paper and season averages.
Also, the Raptors won so that settles the argument.

Where are the Embiid crying memes and gifs
The internet let me down today
All that trolling he does. He deserves to get trolled back.

1 buzzer beater settles the argument that Toronto was the better team than Philly?
So Kawhi misses the buzzer beater an another free throw and magically Sixers are the better team? That’s not ridiculous?
I think Sixers are the overall better team talent wise.
However Kawhi Leonard willed the lesser team to victory.

I mean he certainly wasn't complete **** in THIS elimination game.You right he don't have a CJ. I been telling these Rockets fans for 2 years that their roster ain't that talented.

He shoots what 86% from the FT line but shot 58% in that game. The list just keeps growing.
Given his team construct, he essentially needs to have the best playoff performance of anyone ever in order for his team to win against Golden State, and when he doesn't do that, he is a choker. Seems wild.

Lol at the hyperbole. How about just paying attention to the details and not carelessly turning the ball over when the game is hanging in the balance.

No he don't need to have the best performance ever.
The warriors ain't have KD for the end of game 5 and all of game 6 and he couldn't get it done in those close games and was horrible on defense.
And again he's lost to other teams. That Spurs team w/o Kawhi in game 6 ain't require him to have some best ever performance.

Games were well within reach in the 4th quarters of game 5 & 6 and Kevin ******* Durant is out.
“He needed to have the best playoff performance of all time to win”.
I saw posts all year that he’s better than Jordan/Kobe/Wade whoever but when he can’t beat a KD-less Warriors team it’s, “well, what did you want him to do?”
This is coming from a James Harden Stan. I’ve been rocking with bruh since ASU.

where is anybody saying that Harden isn't a talented player or that he's a complete bum... he's going to have good games, but the overwhelmingly majority of the time when he is needed to really step up he has not done it. Forget stepping up during crucial moments, at this point people are just hoping he at least matches his regular season output and he underperforms that severely.
This is Harden's averages over his last 7 Playoff elimination games
26/5/6 with 6 TO per game on 37/32/76 from the floor.... in those 7 games combined he's a negative 72 in +/- ... his last four years -27, -28, -13, -10. Dude has been atrocious when they need him to play his best basketball, not just off, not a little slippage... these are Gerald Green shooting numbers man.
and I 100% in agree that numbers don't tell the whole story (see Kawhi last night) but with Harden when you watch the games, it makes the narrative even worse because you realize just how often he messes up on defense, and how he just goes through important stretches of the game either not attacking. or just dribbling in one spot & launching a contested stepback.
