James Harden... has any athlete ever suddenly fallen off more year to year

[killacal]

My post on why hell never be better then Iverson

Imagine Iverson not needing to exert energy playing defense and freedom of movement on his side

He'd average 40... easily

There is nothing respectable in James Harden game. The lil interview a year ago where he was taking shots at Giannis, at least Giannis saw the opportunity to win the title and did it. Meanwhile Harden had numerous chances with opposing teams losing key players and he still fukked it all up. Pick any year, he'll find a way to stink up the playoffs outta nowhere.

He's like a WWE wrestler with pre-determined match results where he must lose, and he does that in the most obvious way/

Nets made a mistake making KD the first option. Everyone is so caught up in praising KD's shooting ability and uniqueness that they are losing sight of the fact that Harden's game is analytically sound. Harden plus role players who can shoot and a lob threat has always been money. They need to let him iso more.

The passing is cool and unselfish and all but cutting and posting up under the basket by these role players just isn't as efficient as Harden attacking the basket/iso-ing with outside shooting to back him up. KD's shotmaking ability should be the last resort for a failed James Harden iso. People may think it's ugly and not real basketball and all that but it's very effective. This team is too caught up in trying to play 'the right way' Golden State style.

Have you been watching Nets games? All he’s doing is ISO and playing the way he did. KD can get his either way, harden is the one who looks confused. He’s got plenty opportunity to do what he did in Houston.

He needs to cut the cornrows. They draining his powers

 

[Big Boss]

players can finally play defense on Harden now

Giving up in San Antonio should’ve been the end to his chapter
But 27 3s in a row were

don't forget when J-Smoove led the Rockets back against the Clippers while Harden's ass was nailed to the bench

Harden will be fine he’s 33 and playing in a different role and system than he once did the ball and rules may be affecting him but he’s also aging and never comes into seasons in shape

This is a “bad” year for Harden and he’s still averaging 20/8/9 on 59% TS and I feel it’s a matter of time before he goes on a tear

This is Harden in his prime

Morey was basically his side chick who understood all his short comings. He needs 3 shooters and a Clint Capela like big and free rain to make his game work. The rules changes didn't just take away his free throw attempts they were basically timeouts for him to gather his breath since he a fat nikka. All the walls collapsed in on him at the same time

Who's going to play him this off season?

I don't understand how Westbrook gets so much hate but Harden gets a free pass. Dude had 7 turnovers, 4-15, 0-6 from 3.. If Westbrook did this people would be like trade him now.. Westbrook and KD was always a better combo than Harden/KD.

Harden fell off but we not about to do this. Harden on that PG/Melo OKC team is not getting bounced in the first round

Harden has always been more impactful than Russ.
