Jalen Rose- Harden is playing like Westbrook isn't there

[Big Boss]

What did Ray Allen and KG win without Pierce? Go away.

A ring in Miami

 

[Mike_Pipeson]

This nikka always looses his mind when someone says anything about Paul "Alternative Facts" Pierce

 

[BXKingPin82]

All them numbers and shyt and still be losing.



Preseason tho.

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Harden was up 3-2 .

fukk outta here

What happen the next year when KD was out??

That Popcorn Love ass nikka couldn’t solidify that bullshyt narrative and folded AS USUAL



Some Analog ass nikkas in here

 

[Joe Sixpack]

That said, harden wins games. D'Antonio system wins games.

This nikka is GAHBAGE Jesus Christ.

Log off

 

[Monsanto]

Gonna eat in fantasy ball this year

 

[stepbackj34spud]

Ray Allen got a ring without Pierce Breh....

Ray Allen was a 7th/8th man on a team with Bron Wade and Bosh

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

He wins games at the end of the day and produces while doing so. The only reason he doesnt have a ring or two is because of Kevin Durant. But I knew you were just biased when you tried to make the argument that pierce was better. Much better than pierce.

Care to explain how you came to this conclusion?

2015 playoffs - lost to the Warriors (no Durant)
2016 playoffs - lost to the Warriors (no Durant; Steph got injured and only played 38 minutes total in a five-game series)
2018 playoffs - lost to the Warriors (with Durant - they only took control of this series once the offense started running through Steph and Klay)
2019 playoffs - lost to the Warriors (Durant went down in Game 5 in the 3rd quarter, in a one-possession game, and the Rockets still end up losing; the Rockets then end up losing Game 6 on their own floor, in an elimination game, to a Warriors squad without Durant).

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Harden was up 3-2 against a healthy Warriors (with KD) after a 65 win season. The Rockets only lost because the only other all-star on his team tore his hamstring.

If Iggy doesn't go down, CP3's injury doesn't even become a talking point - well, only for Rockets apologists.

G3 with Iggy - Warriors blow out Rockets by 40+ points
G4 without Iggy - Warriors lose by 1 possession (GS forced to divvy Iggy's minutes between Looney, Cook, Bell - who gave up multiple points on defense)
G5 without Iggy - Warriors lose by 1-2 possessions (GS forced to divvy Iggy's minutes between Looney, Cook, Bell - who gave up multiple points on defense)

You're telling me, that Iggy isn't even worth 1-2 more possessions? Or how about we flip it around - if Iggy was healthy for G4 and G5 and Tucker was out injured for G4 and G5, what would the outcome most likely be, and what would the narrative be about GS' luck?

 

[staticshock]

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.

Dawg it’s the coaches job to put players in the best system to win

I bet you’d be heated if someone said Brady is only a system QB though

We still going with this narrative all these years later.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

He's playing like Westbrook isn't there because he's developed far too many bad habits which he can't break. Same goes for Westbrook. They've both been in situations where they've been allowed to completely dominate the ball, and have complete basketball-autonomy to do whatever they want, without being held accountable, for anything they do.

There's a reason why he and Westbrook are more concerned with getting box score stats, instead of doing shyt that doesn't show up in the box score.

There's a reason why they've been able to put up gaudy box score stats, instead of using their effort and skill for actions that have an actual impact.

If CP3 didn’t tear his shyt they would have still lost

This is a bunch of bullshyt
Y’all nikkas just be typing all kinds of shyt
So what was the excuse last year
What was the excuse against San Antonio
What was the excuse when he had D12
But you got it

and cuz they choked away their lead by missing 27 3pters

Ariza holds the record of most missed threes by missing all 9 of his and ending the game with 0 pts

Also because their coach is so inept that he didnt change the game plan after missing 27 straight 3's. Why attack the basket or take midrange shots when u can brick 3's all game?

Warriors were missing Iguodala also, so we dont need to play the injury game.

Why go away from what worked all season? Rockets are the only team that actually came close to beating the warriors

What's the odds of missing 27 straight 3s?

"You can't change a players game in the 9th inning"

Rockets don't have a ton of talent and they beat the warriors 99 times out of 100 in that scenario. We're more likely to see another hurricane Harvey before we see a team miss 27 straight 3s

Mind you the rockets got fouled on 5 of those 3s (no call)
