Are we sure Harden doesn’t gamble?
:patrice:
I know he is old and tired but still. That second half performance was
:sas2:
I’d hate to throw that out there but why else didn’t he cut, move, shoot or do anything in the sconce half?
:lupe:

More than half of these were with OKC as a third man, misleading ass stat :russell:

They don't wanna give him credit for making it to the Finals because it was with KD and Russ but they do wanna count these games. Agenda ass cherry picking. :camby:

Also, in 30 of these 54 games he had a positive +/-, meaning the team only lost the minutes that he was off the court. Another game he was a 0 +/- so he played even, and another game he played less than 50 seconds due to injury.

In other words, this stat is pretty much meaningless without context. Yes, in those other 22 games he had some bad games with blowout losses. But those 22 are only out of 173 playoff games, so less than 1 in 7, meaning much less than one game per series as he didn't play only 7 game series.

Harden was awful in game 7 and he has a history of not showing up in big playoff games no doubt about it. BUT the team took away his back up in KPJ and said Simmons was going to back up Harden at point and play a little small ball center. He couldn't do either and was unplayable and benched in the playoffs leaving Harden having to play 40+ minutes every game. The front office and coaching staff actually sabotaged Harden this go around. Just saying:manny:

He'll come out balling in the regular season again next year and fans will be fooled into thinking they have a chance. If Harden is more than the 3rd option on your team, then you ain't winning shyt in the playoffs. That goes for next season and 10 years ago.
