James Harden - 41 Pts, 10 Reb, 6 Asts, 6 Stl

[Smook A.]

:applause:

Wow. Also a nice game from Jeremy Lin

James Harden was too clutch in this game and he has proved this season that he's one of the best players in the game.

[Mr Exlax]

Rox fuggin balling!

[moe94]

Not top 10. Somehow.

[MellowYellow]

on 12-28 shooting. Thats not very good.

[SavageMode]

How many FTs doe?

He had 20 points in the 4th qtr right?

[Smook A.]

Yeah he started rough but ended clutch. He was raining 3's after the 1st half

[noob cake]

on 12-28 shooting. Thats not very good.

41 pts on 28 shots with 11 FT is 62.4% TS. Try again troll.

[Smook A.]

How many FTs doe?
10-11 FTs + 31 points from field goals. 62% True Shooting (TS)

[Smook A.]

Can't wait to see what Milbuck has to say about this

[bballbball]

on 12-28 shooting. Thats not very good.

Made up for it by shooting 7-12 from 3 (a bunch in the 4th quarter) and drawing FTs.

Strangely, Wes Matthews drew more FTs than he did despite being half as aggressive.

[Eric Cartman]

**** Kd.

[2LeTTeRS]

on 12-28 shooting. Thats not very good.

You didn't watch the game did you? He had one of the most clutch performances I've seen all year, you really can't be trying to argue that going 7 for 12 on 3s and 10-11 on free throws was inefficient?

[LONGTIME]

He's gonna drop at least 50 Tuesday night against that shit defense OKC has been playing.

[aboss4real24]

Best SG In the Nba ..

[Budadiiii]

Don't miss him.

Just wish we got something more than Lamb/Adams + cash.:facepalm

[ronnymac]

on 12-28 shooting. Thats not very good.
He was 3-14 at one stage in the 3rd quarter and went crazy in the clutch and carried the rockets to OT and the win. He was insane after halftime.

[noob cake]

Don't miss him.

Just wish we got something more than Lamb/Adams + cash.:facepalm

Is Jeremy Lamb an all-star level SG replacement yet?

[Smook A.]

The Houston Rockets were down 12 with 5 min left in the 4th. James Harden's threes, and Lin's shooting got us the win. Harden tied the game though

[RoseCity07]

There is no doubt Harden got going because of some star calls but he definitely torched Portland. Wesley Matthews will blame his missed free throw but it's his defense on Harden. He had let Harden get off a ton of 3's because he didn't fight over a screen.

No offense, but the Blazers got the better calls for majority of the game.

[chazzy]

I'm not a fan of his game aesthetically, but he's the best SG in the game this year.

[Milbuck]

Man Beardsley is seriously making that push to the next level, stardom is not far off for him. Great game from him tonight, definitely one of the best players on court.

[Keno]

meanwhile the okc thunder just lost to the worst team in the western conference, the lakers lmaoooooooo.

[Smook A.]

Don't miss him.

Just wish we got something more than Lamb/Adams + cash.:facepalm
If James Harden was still playing for OKC, they'd be better. Who knows what their record would be if he was there

[Marlo_Stanfield]

look harden is really good but once hes cold from three or his flopping doesnt work he sucks.
also to selfish but that got a little better already.
i expect him to have a good playoff run this year.
i hate the dude but he is quite good.

**** no. Never will be.

He's an all around player in the D-league but a one-dimensional scrub in the NBA.

[SavageMode]

Yup, you miss him. :oldlol:

[avonbarksdale]

by far the best 2 guard in the league

[ronnymac]

He might be leading the league in 4th quarter points and especially clutch points this season. he has no offensive weaknesses whatsoever.

He's kind of their PG half the time. He's the center of their offense and if he isn't scoring well he gets them going on that end with his playmaking/passing. In his first year as a starter on a new team he carried a team that many analysts ranked one the worst in the NBA power rankings to the playoffs. Love has been on the T-Wolves how many years and can't get them above .500..

[Budadiiii]

If James Harden was still playing for OKC, they'd be better. Who knows what their record would be if he was there
Don't doubt it.

Would rather have Harden than Lamb/Adams.

We also got 8 million from that deal after the whole K-Mart thing so it could still work out better long-term but as of right now they're a better team with Harden, no question.

Dude isn't very reliable against legit perimeter D though. Dude turns into scrub mode against OKC and WILL shit the bed in a 7 game series against a liable defense. Still not over that f*ggot crashing OKC's party in 2012.

[Smook A.]

**** no. Never will be.

He's an all around player in the D-league but a one-dimensional scrub in the NBA.if I were an OKC fan I would go to a Rockets game with a "Please Come Back" T-Shirt and go rush down to the court to show Harden

[Smook A.]

He might be leading the league in 4th quarter points and especially clutch points this season. he has no offensive weaknesses whatsoever.
He could work on his mid-range jumper a little more, but he has improved it significantly from last season

[Eric Cartman]

Worst trade in history how many times do I have to say it.

First player since 1986 to get 41 points 10 boards 6 assists 6 steals. Yep. BTW, that player was Michael Jordan.

The only issue is his turnovers but that stems from him being creative. So take you're multipale ID's and shove it up you're clocker.

You just made an off-topic comment. Why you gotta always hate on Harden? He had a fantastic game. 1st player since Michael Jordan in 1986 to have 40+/10/5+/5+. Kobe didn't do it, LeBron never did it, KD didn't, Hakeem, Tim Duncan, Shaq, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird... I could keep going on and on.

Yet people still dislike him..not sure why.

[havoc33]

Yet people still dislike him..not sure why.People dislike him because he's very much a manufactured star. His offensive game is still limited, and he's relying on the refs to blow the whistle when he charges into defenders, which is annoying as hell to watch for opposing teams. He has that old euro move introduced by Detlef Schrempf.

Having a healthy Howard come and play next to him was the best thing that could ever happened for Harden, as it hides his weaknesses on the offensive end.

No, people dislike him because he's a great player, elite even. Great players catch a lot of heat. See LeBron, Durant, and Paul George recently.

Harden is the best 2 guard in the league and fans of opposing teams feel threatened and insecure. The hate stems from a combination of fear, insecurity and jealousy. Has nothing to do with his game.

shh, let them keep hyping him up.

the greater the rise, the greater the fall. I called the media turning on Paul George earlier this season. Gonna be hilarious when they do it to Harden too.

[iznogood]

Where did you get that? 7.2 % is super ripped, I don't think any NBA player plays at 7.2 % during the season.

Erm, no. People don't like Harden because of his flopping, foul drawing kind of offensive game. His offensive game is limited, which has been proven come Playoff time where he has been choking it away so far in his career. Harden might be the best 2 guard in the league right now, but that aint saying much. There's no quality two guards around, except for Wade, who's more injured than not at this point.

Let's see how Harden does this year now that he has Howard to take the pressure off of him and get him some open threes.

[Marlo_Stanfield]

Where did you get that? 7.2 % is super ripped, I don't think any NBA player plays at 7.2 % during the season.
whoever believes that is a dumb fck.
hes close to the felton level of fatness but since hes still athletic it is good for him.
he just lacks that lateral quickness on defense but on offense it helps him running into players, who then get called for the foul even:facepalm

[YouGotServed]

Erm, no. People don't like Harden because of his flopping, foul drawing kind of offensive game.

No, they don't like him because he's great.

its funny how people suck KDs thang so much to realize harden isnt even top 5 fta this season and derozan is right behind him in fta


didnt know all you guys have front row court seats to know whats a flop or not.. harden about to put up his second seasons of 25/5/5(close enough) and people still hate cuz its cool:facepalm

and to the asshole who says his o game is still limited, go check out last nights highlights ... your posting skills are limited:biggums:

[Mr Exlax]

Harden's even been playing defence since the break. We're finally coming together on both sides of the ball. The team is finally healthy. Asik has even been playing hard. Go Rox!

[havoc33]

No, they don't like him because he's great.
If you say so. :oldlol:

[Clyde]

How many FTs doe?

Harden is great at creating contact and thus getting to the line.

dont hate.

also that avatar is sweet

[UK2K]

Yep, serious hate for a baller. Notice the sucky players don't get hate.

People hate Harden cause hes not on their team. Hes got great range, can score from anywhere, rebounds, assists, plays great defense (when he wants to, as evidenced by his nearly 3 steals per game since the ASB), hits his free throws and is super clurch. Anybody would love to have him.

And everybody who doesn't loves to hate him.

Rockets are on a roll, and the haters will hate while the wins pile up.

I agree on everything but the defense.....

those 3 steals are not coming from locking down someone one on one.

the rest is spot on

He stripped Lebron twice in the fourth quarter last week. He locked down David Lee after Jones couldn't handle him. He checked Paul George. His defense has been top notch in the last three weeks or so. Hes got 24 steals in his last 9 games.

His defense is vastly improved lately. Hes embracing that super star title.

Matthews was 5-15 from the field and got his points from the ft line. When Harden does that, you'd be the first to say its garbage and his offense sucks, but when Harden's opponent goes 12-13 from the ft line, hes awesome.

Which is it? Do FTs count towards a offensive skill or not?

first matthews doesnt always do that.
second some of hardens calls are legit, some are straight flops.
third it was just an example, he wasnt even on matthews the entire time

that being said, yes his defense improved. lets see if he can keep it up doe

[matts290]

Harden's defense has improved since the ASB, but he still gets really lazy in spots and lets his man just blow past him. For me to consider him a good-great defender he needs to get much more consistent on that side of the ball. For now, despite some great defensive plays as of late, I still consider him an average defender at best. A few weeks of good play doesn't make up for him being a below average defender for most of career.
