I hope Beard wins MVP so y'all will stop whining so much.

Hard to win an MVP when you're th 2nd best player on your team.

If Kobe did it I'm sure Harden can, too

 

[trynafeelmink]

You know it's A lot of talent in the league when Kd is averaging 26, 7 & 5 with 2 blocks per on 52/40/87 & you barely hear a word around it

 

[hardens beard]

The reigning MVP is statistically the worst shooter in basketball but if you mention it you're whining and or bitter?

 

[kdslittlebro]

Lebron never been that bad at getting buckets.

You slipping bro

Ya'll been crying since May though.

 

[BIG FISH]

Yet most casuals/russ stans that hate Harden will say he only scores on free throws

you have to like low IQ, selfish inefficient players or your bitter..

The reigning MVP is statistically the worst shooter in basketball but if you mention it you're whining and or bitter.

And most of this stems from an award won last year, when he wasn't shooting bad....................

Every single game whether he plays good or bad you have dudes breaking down specific game tape to further push a narrative & downplay his talent. It's fine to say russ is shooting a bad percentage but guys are saying his team is "carrying" him to wins & acting like he never passes the ball. It's straight bias.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Would be hilarious if Russ robbed harden of another mvp tho

 

[a-friend]

No smoke No smoke, you ****** don't want it.

 

[a-friend]

Who cares about percentages.
If I shoot the Club up trying to kill Wick, and 43 folks are caught in the crossfire but Wick is the last Death, it's a win.
Savage life.

Crazy how worthless Simmons was last night in ot. Offense was give the ball to embiid. That lebron comparison is off. Lebron never been that bad at getting buckets.

Yo hes lowkey annoying me lately. Its only his first season but i dont see how ppl think his ceiling is higher than Embiids

 

[Based Jesus]

again with complete lies, Russ didn't have the greatest game last night but in the overtimes he made countless big shots

Countless big shots? He went 6 for 15 in OT idk about you but I can count to 6.
Wouldnt have even gone to OT if not for him. He went 0/7 in the 4th quarter

Any person who i've heard state that has directly mentioned Embiid's health & when you've missed as much time as he has & are his size this makes a lot of sense. You can't judge someones ceiling w/o taking into account health.

 

[BIG FISH]

Amazing...
Dude sees what he wants to see when it comes to Russ

 

[addict4sneakers]

Right because you'll never find a game where Harden misses Shots on a lot of attempts (unless it's the playoffs) #notmyfranchiseplayer

There’s a difference between missing good shots and missing bad shots.

 

[trynafeelmink]

Wouldnt have even gone to OT if not for him. He went 0/7 in the 4th quarter

All six of those shots came to either stop runs or put them ahead in tight games, not to mention making good reads to Andre Roberson

1) in which he blew the lay up
2) he made the game winning Lay up

not to mention he got his shot blocked on two of those attempts making the right play & attacking a open lane (Embiid made some incredible plays to catch up). Those two pull up threes from deep are the two horrible shots he took, every other shot i live with my superstar taking.

Of the 9 missed shots (two were blocked)

3 were pull up three point shots (i've already admitted those were bad decisions)

The other four? a lay up at the rim, and two shots at 11-12 feet & a open three

Every year there's a new Villain.
Russ this years Villain?

 

[hardens beard]

Ya'll been crying since May though.

People BEEN complaining about Russ way before he was MVP.

Dude ran off one of the greatest players of all time.

When theyre both out there its clear whos 1 & 2 tho. Throw all that health issues crap outta there. Its very clear we shut him down early last yr to get another pick. If he gets injured again this year while we're trying to get into the playoffs then ill be concerned but til then im not sweating it due to previous years circumstances

Only on here. He still the people's champ for the masses.

Russ hate and love is cyclical. People hated him when he was drafted, then loved him, then hated him because he was taking shots from KD, then loved him again when KD got hurt... He's just at the hate cycle again. Problem is that people are trying to push a narrative that he isn't one of the elite players in the L now, which is incredibly dumb.
