Harden: "Scratches prove I'm getting fouled"

[Walt]

Well let's see...

There's really no "let's see" to it.There's a disingenuous approach to evaluating the trade which is frequently employed, which is to pretend that somehow the unforeseeable bad luck of injury should've somehow been taken into account by Thunder management. Steven Adams has developed into a viable center, Serge is more valuable to that team than a third ball-dominant perimeter player would've been, and if not for injuries the Thunder's roster would be beastly.

I mean...the only reason why Westbrook ever gets hurt in the first place is because he is playing against a Houston team who got to the playoffs because of James Harden

This is probably the worst rationalization against the trade ever recorded, which is saying a lot.

I'm from Houston and can't stand this clown. He's a joke and an embarrassment. All that damn flopping and going to the line to pad your stats and then have the nerve for people to think he the MVP. fukkin disgusting what the MVP award has become and the NBA for allowing this sucker shyt to go on. I'll be glad to see their weak ass eliminated.

The fact Mchale isn't calling him our for it is apalling. Harden has the ability to beast purely off his skill. Not sure why he feels the need to excessively flop to get points. Although its due to the numerous ticky tack fouls the refs call during the regular season that causes him to play that way.

Is rationalization a substitute for the word true?

How many times did Houston make the playoffs leading up to the Harden trade?

How many times did Houston make the playoffs after the Harden trade?

How many times did OKC play Houston in the playoffs before the Harden trade? If the answer is greater than 0, did somebody from OKC get a serious injury?

How man times did OKC play Houston in the playoffs after the Harden trade? If the answer is greater than 0, did somebody from OKC get a serious injury?

How many injuries did the OKC team suffer through before Westbrook got hurt in the Houston series? How many injuries did OKC team suffer through after Westbrook got hurt in the Houston series?

Make trades that create playoffs teams out of thin air brehs...

Serge is more valuable? How...he doesn't even play and when he does he is a stretch 4 that only shoots the ball when he is wide open...all this talk about Howard post moves...does Serge even have one...go ahead post a clip of serge shooting a hook or a drop step...or anything that resembles a post move...

I swear half this board must work for the Thunder organization...it is a bad trade that literally get's worse and worse every fukking year...every year since the trade the thunder have gotten worse...every year since the trade houston has gotten better...

Thunder literally was going to the finals with harden and haven't been back since without him...Houston was literally not even making the playoffs without Harden and they now in the second round with him being an MVP candidate...

But somehow no one saw this coming...except for all the people who...saw this coming

He relies on that shyt way too much and expects foul calls to bail him out when games are close. He's not a leader and Dwight is too much of an idiot and loses his cool when games are on the line. I still remember when threw shade towards Parsons last year when he went to Dallas saying him and Dwight are the main factors....what a joke. These clowns cant even get on the same page. Houston always falls for the fake bag of goods and overpays for either over the hill superstars or cats that are all hyped and unproven (that Jeremy Lin disaster).
