THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[firstclass]

Hardens playing faster this year though. Harden is fun to watch to me especially when he's on. He's the apex pick up basketball player.

But you don’t like watching a PG that just sits in the dunker spot during the 4th? Crazy

 

[buc em]

You’ve been watching your team’s “Point Guard “ shoot with wrong hand for 3 years now.

Ben Simmons pisses us off with his game plenty of nights but we still appreciate the other things he does for us as a defender and playmaker and know that we’re much better off with him than without him.

Us as Sixer fans continuously voice our displeasure with things he does though. I only hear praise for Harden from you Rockets fans.

Bro , just look at this thread when they played the hornets . We were saying he was point shaving .

Edit I meant the pelicans

 

[addict4sneakers]

Harden would never get clamped by Aron Baynes like Simmons did

 

[B Sox]

Not a Rockets fan, but I enjoy watching Harden. His game is completely unique and he's basically like a walking 40PPG and 8 APG, which is nuts.

I’d want to see a more diverse offensive system but I don’t think they have the personnel for anything else. Harden and westbrook can’t play off the ball that well.

I think they both are more than capable but I'm not sure they want to and they don't have an actual coach to get them to run a proper offense

I'd have to go with Kyrie, or Booker. When they're on, they're on.
3 level scorers with no real weakness. Can drive, post up, hit you with the mid range, or 3 ball.
I use to be a real fan of Harden but I can't. He's completely abandoned the midrange and post so I know it's either a drive or a stepback 3. Very hard to watch at times.

It’s this exactly, and it’s very frustrating. That’s why I said during the summer, if you fire some of his assistants, you may as well get rid of him to, cause he knows he’s a lame duck right now. The Rockets really look like they’re playing without a coach. MDA has no team presence other than shortening lineups (there were 6 minutes left up by 20 and only 8 guys had played, the 8th only in for about 2 minutes at that point) and challenging calls that shouldn’t be challenged.

 

[everysingletime]

I can’t sit thru a whole rockets game. Watching harden throw up 18 step back 3s and shoot 33 times is depressing

Harden is so unwatchable. It just burns me slowly inside to see players obviously scared to even breathe on him and they still get called for the foul

Ben Simmons isn't an MVP.... I don't know where you're going with this. Why in the world would you expect Rockets fans not to defend James Harden?

He's not "objectively" ugly to watch play either. I understand some people are annoyed by the foul calls but he does a lot of very exciting stuff.

 

[MVP]

Been telling y'all Harden's game ain't aesthetically pleasing for years. Once again late to the party.

Nah.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

It’s like dudes focus on the egregious iso harden plays and ignore the PNR passes he makes every game.

 

[niceshoes247]

I ain’t no rocket fan foo
Just thought ur post was stupid when ur team was tanking for years openly!

Lolllllll how did I know there wasn’t actually going to be real responses by Rockets fans like I asked for but instead bringing up the Sixers.

 

[Moheezy]

Yaall remember when we said Luka will be a prime Mike Miller and considered that a good thing?

 

[jab step]

If the Rockets are so brutal to watch, just don’t watch? Why talk about a team everyday, that you hate watching

 

[CDFTDOT]

I wonder if Dion knew they were gummies, or was he just being reckless and OD.

Edibles/Gummies ain't no joke, and it's easy to OD on them.

Also it has a distinct aftertaste, so he should've known they were gummies.

Rockets' James Harden has had more ISO plays than any NBA team this season

 

[Moheezy]

Don’t think I’ve ever hated watching a player or team more than 2017-current Harden/Rockets.

I couldn't get passed half a quarter watching the Rockets Bucks game, it was awful. Nothing but 3s or layups from both teams. No actual strategy or team play.

THEY wanted him to fail so badly and it was only due to his birthplace.

Watching Harden isolate>> watching Ben Simmons initiate offense in the half court

Jokes on you, Ben Simmons doesn't initiate offense in the half court.
