James Harden punching the air right now

[inndaskKy]

I'm not a Harden fan but yall takes are garbage.

Harden singlehandedly got Houston back to relevance. They were bad to mediocre for years until they got him. For all his playoff failures, at least he had yall in position damn near every year

Let these people live in their delusional 'realities' breh. Mods just deleted a thread stating the truth about playoff success mostly being determined by luck so that people can remain inside their toxic bubble of hate, never once stating anything in context with even a hint of intellectual integrity.

James Harden probably out celebrating passing MJ in shooting efficiency in their playoff careers but these guys still caught up in making up stories about why his co-stars left.

Anyone who watched the Rockets that year can tell u wat it was

Harden and D’Antoni fell in love wit Harden iso game, that’s not CP3 style, even Kobe at the time said Harden wasn’t gon win shyt playin like that

He shot 41% Fg. How is that on harden

 

[ORDER_66]

Harden was ISOing more than anyone in the league that year, at first it was needed when CP3 was hurt but when he came back CP3 was tryna get Harden to run an offense again and he wasn’t rockin

u could clearly tell they was beefin

 

[Apprentice]

this game is what got me hip that they beef is in the way of a possible title

Past few years have been good for us Harden haters

Harden ruined the rockets, fans were just to blind to realize it. never let your player have control over your teams moves if its not "Lebron". Harden and the GM ran that team into the ground and ran away when they saw no way out but Houston has some bright spots and if they draft Green this year and Chet/Paolo in 2022 they will be a playoff team in 2022 and contender in 2024.

The new owner caused a majority of the problems starting with not buying the team outright but getting a loan from the previous owner. He didn’t even offer MD a contract. Morey cost himself off that China shyt which because of racism Bron took the heat for. (Like we can joke about it but at the end of the day Bron was in China but Morey wasn’t) Harden wanted out rightfully so but Tillman was not going to give him to Morey. Covid cut into Tillman’s businesses reminder his cousins are the previous owners of the UFC and they have long money from their criminal family members of the past.

Chris paul was just trying to make him a better player and push him to his absolute best. if he swallowed his ego and listened, this could be him right now.

 

[TAYLONDO SAMSWORTHY]

All Harden cares about is points, money and strip clubs

 

[MikelArteta]

Got Capela traded too, now he 2 wins from the Finals himself. Same for PJ Tucker.

3/5 starters from that team a few years ago starting for teams in the conference finals

 

[jerzboy]

And all cp3 wanted was to keep running the offense when the team was going well without harden......extra rest...

these right here. People don’t give credit, but CP3 adapts to any environment. Adapted his game to compliment Harden. When CP3 had more control and was running an offense during that title run with the rockets, he showed Harden and Dantoni (spelling) what it could do... Harden and D, reverted back to iso and 3 nonsense.

Literally every rocket that left from two years ago on contenders. Even Ariza made the playoffs.

Just goes to show you Morey and Tilman shouldve stayed with the process instead of overreacting and making moves.

As a rockets fan, this shyt is just sad all around.

it was that 30 pt scoring streak that spelled the end for Harden and CP3. Cp3 was out during that stretch and harden was scoring at god mode. Once cp3 returnees harden didn’t want to work within the offense anymore and started not being apart of the offense. He would set a pick and go towards the sidelines at half court and not get back in the play. Cp3 would tell him to stop that and even talked to D’Antoni about it but D’Antoni was bytch and let harden do whatever he wanted to. Accountability wa lacking. It’s what Russ problem with Harden was.

That was Russ. Not intentionally but because Russ wasn’t a perimeter threat they had to play 5 out to open up the floor


But they played themselves by acting to fast. Christian Wood Russ and Harden could’ve played together this year and I think they easily would’ve been in WCF THIS YEAR I if they stay healthy.

jaut goes to show you Morey and Tilman shouldve stayed with the process instead of overreacting and making move.

I know Morey did not want to trade Chris Paul for WB. To anyone with basic sense that was a major downgrade. Then Russ comes and they realize they can't play him with Capela and homie gets dumped to Atlanta.

Honestly felt bad for Rockets fans seeing an all time contender get dismantled in 1 year.
