motiejunas and beverley had better games.

[Kblaze8855]

Naaaaaaah homie.

Hes a very good player. Im not sure how far beyond that I go.

I wouldnt want to watch a lot of him.

Hes who id show to people to explain why watching the NBA isnt as fun as it used to be for me.

High rate of plays I dont want to see called the way they are....and pullup threes.

Just not the game I want to watch.

[Im so nba'd out]

Even when he plays bad because he is hurt he doesn't sink the team.The only superstar in the league that could go 5-20 in a game and still win without a stacked team :applause:

I think you're right around my age (42) and I feel the same way. It's just not what I wanna see. I just want to see good basketball but what's considered good now isn't always what I grew up thinking was good.

If he woulda played like this during the Portland series whenever Harden went into a shooting slump, they probably woulda won the series.

he always shoots like shit you kiss ass. is he even shooting 40% ?

[bballbball]

what can you say, he's making all the right plays, doing all the right things. assisting, defending, rebounding, etc. pretty bullshit how Reggie Miller didn't have him in the top of 5 mvp voting. Said Klay Thompson was an honorable mention when he's lucky as **** to play alongside Curry and not get doubled teamed. Harden been playing with a rookie PG and old ass Terry getting doubled teamed and still beasting.

[bballbball]

He was shooting about 42% before this game. Who cares though, he's been taking over in the other areas. I was a doubter last year but I've been watching this year and he's straight been underrated.

I've always sensed signs of undercover hating from Reggie Miller when concerning other players ever since Ray Allen broke his 3 point record.

Gimme your top 5

Klay Thompson
Monta
Kobe
Harden
Wade/Matthews

:confusedshrug:

I'm 33 and I couldn't stand modern NBA for a very long time but my perception changed during the last season. I also couldn't bear to watch Harden until very recently now I can't even remember why :confusedshrug:. I think he's phenomenal.
I think I took my rose tinted glasses off. All this time it was literally my mind stubbornly refusing to acknowledge how exciting modern NBA can be.

[Smook A.]

Check his game log you buffoon. He shot 64% in the game before today. 2 games before that he shot 80% while attempting 14 shots. For the season he's shooting 41%. Look up some stuff before you talk out of your ass again.


Klay Thompson
Monta
Kobe
Harden
Wade/Matthews

I still have Harden as the best SG in the league. Just look at the numbers he's putting up this season. 25 ppg/7 apg/6 rpg/2 spg/1 bpg on 57% TS. He's also been playing some good defense this season, so don't even bring up the "he can't play defense for crap" argument. Klay is putting up 21/4/3/1/1 on 58% TS. He's also playing good defense, but I wouldn't put him over Harden. Same for Monta and Kobe. Monta is averaging 21/5/3/2 on 54% TS with average defense. Kobe's numbers this season are 25/5/5 on 49% TS. Obviously his defense is not as good as it used to be, but he's still capable of guarding his guys.

I know stats aren't everything but they still show a lot. Harden is averaging better numbers than every single SG this season. Only stat he doesn't lead is PPG. Just 1 pt behind Kobe, which really isn't much of a difference at all. Overall, James Harden has been scoring, he's been doing a great job at facilitating the ball to the right guys, and the best thing of all... he's playing defense. All that is translating to wins. Rockets are 16-4 with Dwight, Jones, Beverley missing multiple games.

Here is my top 5 so far...
1. Harden
2. Thompson
3. Kobe
4. Ellis
5. Wade

#3 and #4 can easily be switched because Monta has really been playing great lately while shooting on a very good percentage.

He's what's wrong with basketball. I have complained about certain players being ref dependent in the past but no one in history has ever taken it to the extent he does. The basic James harden play is uncalled carry, uncalled travel, create contact with no attempt whatsoever to actually make a shot, blatantly flop, Get up and go to the ft line. How anyone is a fan of that is beyond me. I get that you root for players on your favorite team even if you hated them before they got there but I still don't think I could root for him if he played for the mavs.

spot on.
the rip-through move and the eurostep-into-defender move should be offensive fouls. Instead these idiots are rewarded time and time again. Gimmick offense. I already see people at the YMCA doing the harden "eurostep into defender" and the calling it, then they wonder why people clothesline them :banghead:

[Im so nba'd out]

All you have to do is not reach when he does the eurosteps what is so hard about not reaching if you reach he is going to trick you into hitting his arms and they will call the foul everytime because thats a foul......WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD REFS GIVE SOMEONE FAKE CALLS YALL SOUND STUPID AS FK.If anything they would stop giving him calls because they prolly hate the way he plays too but he really does be getting hit on the fking arms.WHEN YOU SEE HARDEN COME IN THE PAINT ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS DONT REACH WHEN HE EXTENDS HIS ARMS OUT TO BAIT YOU.


Im not a rockets fan idgaf about the rockets but i am a james harden fan

[YouGotServed]

He's leading his team to a 16-4 record, 2nd best in the league. Only 1.5 games behind Golden State. All while playing with a depleted roster. No Dwight Howard, Terrence Jones, Papanikolau, Canaan, and Cisco Garcia. Beverley literally played his first game in weeks just a few hours ago.

His stats are boss both offensively and defensively. His team is one of if not the best defensive team in the NBA. So let's see here.

Stats? check
Wins? check
Offensive game? check
defensive game? check
two way player? check

Harden is a top 5 player in the league and a top 3 MVP candidate. Anyone who disagrees is a straight up clown, PERIOD.

[Prometheus]

Naaaaaaah homie.

Hes a very good player. Im not sure how far beyond that I go.

I wouldnt want to watch a lot of him.

Hes who id show to people to explain why watching the NBA isnt as fun as it used to be for me.

High rate of plays I dont want to see called the way they are....and pullup threes.

Just not the game I want to watch.

Just so you know I will be using the bolded quote IRL and not giving you credit for it. Well put.

You're just one of them people who think everything was better 20 years ago

[pnyozzzoo]

What someone basically shots 25 times to score 15 points. That's efficient.
Who turns the ball over 6 times to get 7 assist. That's tight. and so he should be celebrated to have a good all around game. :applause:

Team despite missing like 4 of there best players after him is winning cause of his playmaking ability and the attention he draws, I hate Harden but you can't really use his stats against him when you consider he's leading his team to a great record and they have beat the like of Memphis and Dallas completely undermanned.

Don't sweat the technique he's winning games (making his teammates better) that's more important than any statistic you can throw up to make him look shit.

How is your boy Jeremy doing btw?

Harden does everything.

No other SG besides Kobe comes close to touching his numbers.

Like I said earlier this year, search all the players who averaged 25,6,6 in a season. There's about 5 people who have done it in history.

[STATUTORY]

the truth is he's a regular season superstar
