Are most of us honest when a player outperforms our low expectations of them?

I honestly dont know what youre talking about, he didnt have a mustache in college nor before the draft. he was widely thought to go in top 10 and slipped for no real reasons but still went in first round. he wasnt 'supposed to be garbage'
sure, no one expected him to be this great, but only two qbs in last like 20 years had that expectation when they were drafted -peyton and luck
I expected him to be garbage simply by looking at the law of averages and his wack style

I knew Harden wouldn't let me down.
He was all-time bad tonight; still had a great series, but he deserves to get ripped for tonight's performance.

Depends on the posters"Posters' opinions" coming at me are generally just the manifestation of hurt feelings in the past, because I dont like the same guys they do or some other childish bullshyt
Meanwhile your rep is well known as the epitome of this thread. You're in this very thread STILL refusing to admit you were wrong on Harden, as if you ever thought he would be an MVP candidate, have great playoff performances, lead the Rockets to the wcf, etc. You were wrong on all of that. You did some lame celebration after his dud in game 3, didnt say a word after game 4 and now are running back to "b-b-but if game 6 of the last series..." moving goalposts.
You dapped the op then proceeded to do exactly what it was deriding, in the same thread. It's what you do.
My point is now proven. @holidayinn21 @gator_king @inndaskKy I see you tryna sneak diss
Well we know you document and bookmark everything so go ahead and quote the most outlandish pro-Harden shyt I said. What, that he could still be successful in the playoffs?Well we're seeing that happen now.
He's the number one option on a contender now, so chalk up another L for you. Course you wont admit it and spin some Fox news bullshyt instead so go right ahead.
He was all-time bad tonight; still had a great series, but he deserves to get ripped for tonight's performance.
I'll give you game 1 and game 4 but he blew it more than he played well
He was great in game 2 as well, just botched the last play. Game 3 they got blown out from jump. This was his one truly terrible game.I'll give you game 1 and game 4 but he blew it more than he played well

He should've been out against the Clippers when he blew the series for them. The role players couldn't dig him out of a hole this time.I'll give you game 1 and game 4 but he blew it more than he played well

Harden having a Washington Generals-esque performance in game 5 doesn't change the fact that he was a number 1 option on a contender.

i hated on curry because he had bad ankles and the warriors got rid of monta for him, but say it all the time i'm glad they drafted curry and he'll go down as the best warriors ever

Rockets were never a contender. Take your L and leave with some dignity. Fourth postseason in a row where he's been exposed.Harden having a Washington Generals-esque performance in game 5 doesn't change the fact that he was a number 1 option on a contender.

He LEAD the Rockets to the WCF, had some fantastic games and they were one of the final three teams left alive. Again, a comically bad performance in game 5 doesnt change any of that.

And I'm going to stop you right there. He didn't. He was exposed against the Clippers. Role players came to the rescue. You know the funniest thing through all this is, you were left confused and in a deluded state last season -
I got nothin. He's been worse than his haters couldve ever dreamed.
Fast forward to this season -
Unbelievable, after arguing me down season after season after season - it still fails to register with you, that this is what I've been telling you all along.
My work here is done. Forever.
