Why do ya'll lose all perspective when it comes to Harden :dwillhuh:

How can you compare one of the greatest teams of all time with two MVPS, one of the best defensive players of all time, and two of the greatest shooters of all time, losing their sixth man to a team with a short rotation losing their only other all-star caliber player? Iggy was obviously an important player for GSW but the Warriors already had an overwhelming talent advantage-- they can afford to lose a piece (especially one that isn't their core four).. The Rockets couldn't afford to lose CP3.

Everything else you mentioned isn't really indicative of Harden not being able to win, which was what I was disputing the first place.


What does that have to do with what happened in 2018?

I'm not basing off stats. Harden is just a superior player. Better scorer, passer, and rebounder. You dont average 25ppg for 7 straight seasons off a gimmick. At some you just have to acknowledge what dude is doing. He drains 3-4 highly contested 3's a game using crafty footwork and he gets to the line 10 times a game because he forces defenders to foul him due to his craftiness. Nothing gimmicky about it. He surpassed Pierce years ago.

fukk what the regular season stats say, I’ve seen Pierce hit huge clutch shots in the playoffs, along with big 4th quarter play in the playoffs (and I hated Pierce’ guts).

With Harden, he doesn’t come close to duplicating his regular season success, come playoff time.

It’s not even about clutch shots. Harden plays in a super gimmicky offense where he plays PG, always has the ball and takes the most shots Yet his fans will never admit that no other all star caliber wing has ever played in that kind of offense.

Hardens numbers would deflate in the triangle.

You guys realize Steph has had shyt games in the playoffs too right? And they won because he still had Klay to help him and Durant. Wtf happens when Harden has an off game? So he’s supposed to be perfect every game?
