Harden had 27 points and only made 2 FG's

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Some of these posters want to turn basketball into figure skating and award points based on "artistry"

at you not getting the point. We'll see how effective this brand of game is in the playoffs

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

You were wrong. I never said he hasn't improved. The only idiot is you.

You were adamant that the Thunder didn't need Westbrook's scoring
You were adamant that Harden was the best SG in the league
You were adamant that Harden was better than Westbrook
You believed that BG wasn't anywhere near Harden's level
etc etc

The list goes on and on.

And you mad as hell.

-I said the Thunder had a ton of weapons. They do. Westbrook is scoring less and the team is better than ever, just as I said. You were wrong and stupid.
-Harden is the best sg in the game, when did that change? Youre wrong and stupid again.
-Never said Harden was better than Russell. You're wrong, stupid and a liar.
-Griffin's skillset last season consisted of jumping high and dunking.

I give all the credit in the world to players that improve their games like Griffin and Westbrook. I dont however, give any credit to corny fukkboys like yourself that try to twist facts of today to try to redact all the dumb shyt you've said in the past.

You dont know shyt about basketball.

All jokes aside, is this thread ya'll lefit thinking Harden isn't good, not liking how he plays, or is it being annoyed at how they officiate him?

I agree his game is boring to watch, but to say he isn't one of the best young players in the league is going too far.

Actually, Harden does so much flopping...I can't really tell how good of a player he is...

I used to think he was a good player...but outside of him cooking my spurs on Christmas...anytime he can't flop...he is horrible...

And he used to have a decent inbetween game...now it is all 3's and flopping...dude just drives and flails...or shoot's 3's...

I got Houston on my radar only to laugh at him when the playoffs come and dwight starts getting pissed because Harden just keeps flopping and the refs don't call it...only to cause him to flop more...

And lot's of players flop...but pretty much the majority of the time Harden is not even trying to take an actual shot...hell half the time he doesn't even get to the rim cause he falls on the ground at the slightest contact

I mean...if you going to tell me Harden is a good player...I will ask you...based on what?

 

[vybzinc]

People want to see Dwight, Harden, and the Rockets fail? Damn brehs we made it, we got haters on they diks 24/7.

And we just getting started too.....

Yall love this lie so much.

Stats prove its not close to being true and you just admitted witnessing Harden kill your own squad yesterday without getting to the line much. You have no evidence of this dumb shyt.

There is a stat that measures if a player was actually trying to shoot the ball when he flops...show me

The game against the Spurs IS THE ONLY GAME ALL YEAR I SEEN HIM PUT UP NUMBERS WITHOUT FLOPPING ALL OVER THE PLACE...go ahead and post another one though...

No evidence...what...dude already been fined by the league twice for flopping ...and there is no evidence...Harden...The NBA...and 10K in money says otherwise...

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

He averages twice as many fga as fts, same as a bunch of players, so the whole "he doesnt even look to shoot" thing is nonsense.

12/13 against GS 26, 5 fts
Next night against Sac 26 on 6 fts
12/6, 34 on 7 fts
33 on 9 tfs
34 on 8 fts

Etc. This shyt was an anomoly. Harden gets to the line a lot, so do all great scorers. But its not where he gets most of his points like dumb posters would have you believe.

 

[who_better_than_me]

I don't get the hate. He beasted against SA the night before without really getting to the line and tonite he breasted by getting to the line. Just goes to show that he goin get his regardless. If his shot ain't fallin he going to the paint aggressively.

I said the Thunder had a ton of weapons. They do. Westbrook is scoring less and the team is better than ever, just as I said. You were wrong and stupid..

BULLshyt. YOU SAID THEY DIDN'T NEED WESTBROOK'S SCORING. WRONG. WRONG. WRONG.

Man, look at all the damn weapons on the Thunder. I know you love to play this "but OKC needs Westbrook's scoring!" shyt but its simply not true.

YOU WERE WRONG. The Thunder got done in the 2nd round because they didn't have any scoring outside Durant. THEY NEEDED WESTBROOK'S SCORING. THERE'S NO TWO WAYS ABOUT IT.

Series against the Grizzlies (without Westbrook)

Ibaka: - 12.6 points on 37%
Perkins - 2.3 points on 16% (not to mention he averaged 23 minutes)
Sefolosha - 4.6 points on 37%
Fisher - 9.0 points on 40%
Martin - 14.1 points on 41%

BU-BU-BU-BU-BU-BUT THE THUNDER DIDN'T NEED WESTBROOK'S SCORING BECAUSE THEY HAD ALL THESE OFFENSIVE WEAPONS!

Westbrook is scoring less because he's playing less minutes, because for once they've got a bench that can hold their own. He's averaging the same amount of points per 36 minutes that he did last season.

NOBODY IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD EVER CLAIM THAT THE THUNDER DIDN'T/DON'T NEED WESTBROOK'S SCORING.

-Harden is the best sg in the game, when did that change? Youre wrong and stupid again.

WRONG.

Harden isn't and was never the best SG in the league. He's pretty much the worst starting SG on the defensive end in the league. Leading a team to a 1st round exit, while shooting 39% from the field, 19% from shots besides at the rim/3pointers, choking in the clutch and averaged the same amount of assists as turnovers.

WRONG WRONG WRONG. HE ISN'T THE BEST SG IN THE GAME.

-Never said Harden was better than Russell. You're wrong, stupid and a liar.

BULLshyt. WHY YOU LYING? NOT ONLY DID YOU SAY HARDEN IS/WAS THE BETTER PLAYER BUT YOU SAID IT WAS OBVIOUS TOO AND YOU SAID HE'S ALWAYS BEEN BETTER THAN WESTBROOK.

YOU're FULL OF shyt AND YOU'RE A LIAR.

I been telling you Harden is OKC's 2nd best player forever now and w/ performances like tonight, seems more people are finally gonna realize the same thing.

I think its pretty obvious, actually. He's bigger, smarter, a better playmaker at the 2 position than Russ is at the 1, and can pretty much do everything Westbrook can as well.

Someone gonna give James that max, he's too good to be third fiddle.

YOU WERE SAYING YOU PIECE OF shyt LIAR?

BU-BU-BU-BU-BU-BU-BUT I NEVER SAID THAT HARDEN WAS BETTER THAN WESTBROOK.



WHO'S WRONG NOW fakkit? WHO'S LYING NOW fakkit?

-Griffin's skillset last season consisted of jumping high and dunking.

WRONG.

YOU WERE WRONG ABOUT HARDEN BEING BETTER THAN GRIFFIN. HE'S NEVER BEEN BETTER THAN GRIFFIN SINCE THEY'VE BOTH BEEN IN THE LEAGUE. NEVER. YOU WERE JUST HOPING THAT HARDEN COULD CONTINUE THIS FAUX-RISE AND THAT GRIFFIN WOULD FADE INTO OBLIVION.

BLAKE HAS IMPROVED BUT NOT TO THE POINT WHERE HE WAS ONCE NO WHERE NEAR HARDEN'S LEVEL. YOU WERE JUST OVERRATING (YOU STILL ARE) HARDEN AND UNDERRATING 'SCRUB' GRIFFIN.

ONCE AGAIN LIES LIES LIES LIES.

I give all the credit in the world to players that improve their games like Griffin and Westbrook. I dont however, give any credit to corny fukkboys like yourself that try to twist facts of today to try to redact all the dumb shyt you've said in the past.

Problem is they haven't increased their games to this new level, especially Westbrook, he's just managed to stay consistent more than anything else. I didn't twist shyt. I was right when I Westbrook was better than Harden when you said he wasn't and I was right when I said Griffin was better than Harden and you were wrong saying he wasn't. Now you're switching your shyt up because you realise how wrong you were/are.

Y'know I would've respectfully disagreed if you said that 'it's close between Harden and Griffin, but I prefer Harden' but you had the fukkin nerve to say I was a dummy for thinking 'scrub' Griffin was better than Harden. There's no two ways about that, that was a false statement. No matter how much bullshyt you type out will negate that fact.

We'll see who the dummy is - I'll make a thread asking folk these questions based on all the above arguments and we'll see what the results are... or better yet we'll ask posters of your choice these questions..... since i know you'll respond with some 'but this board doesn't know shyt about hoops' bullshyt.

I WIN ONCE AGAIN. AND YOU LOSE.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

-Never said Harden was better than Russell. You're wrong, stupid and a liar.

OH BUT WAIT, HERE'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF YOU LYING .....

Westbrook is still young...he will be a superstar

Harden's younger and better

YOU LYING PIECE OF shyt.


I LOVE BEING RIGHT.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Not as much as OKC overpaid Westbrook

Surprise surprise. You were wrong again.

 

[The Unknown Hype]

lol at practice this nikka probably spends most of his time practicing free throws he got the flopping down packed

 

[killacal]

I don't get the hate. He beasted against SA the night before without really getting to the line and tonite he breasted by getting to the line. Just goes to show that he goin get his regardless. If his shot ain't fallin he going to the paint aggressively.

Is James Harden a flopper?

 

[dunkman6]

I'm shocked nobody has pointed out how he got to the line more times than the entire Memphis team combined.
