Harden just set himself apart from Klay and Curry...

[stalkerforlife]

Harden is a real MVP candidate at this point. Dude is playing with scrubs and takes the Warriors to the brink on the road. Harden completely shit on the splash brothers. The Warriors just have a lot more talent.

Harden is a top 3 MVP candidate.

[Kvnzhangyay]

klay taking over now

[stalkerforlife]

klay taking over now

Of course he is, he has the fortune of being able to play like shit for an entire game and still win.

Next one up for the Warriors.

Were these stats he put up complete, or empty?

Empty stats.

[Milbuck]

Harden sucked fat dick to close this game. 1-3 in the final 5 minutes, 2-5 in the 4th overall. While Klay blocked the shit out of him, lead his team in the 4th when GS went on a run that pulled the game out of reach.

Harden stays fooling people. 34 points overall, complete mess when his team needed him most. Deceptive piece of garbage.

I would love to see how people would've reacted if this was KD, Lebron, Kobe, etc. People would hold them accountable because they were/are GREAT players. The fact that people are climaxing over this game while he let his team down when it mattered most...laughable. Just laughable.

[SyRyanYang]

He's definitely a top mvp candidate so far this season and he played like a true mvp in the first 3 quarters.

However, Klay dominated him in the clutch and Curry sealed the game for us while putting on 20/7/7, so there's that.

Harden had to carry scrubs all night to keep it close. Simply ran out of gas.

Get real. Klay and any of those boys can play like trash for nearly an entire game and still win. They are loaded. Pick your poison. Harden has to carry scrubs on his back all night and simply ran out of gas.

Dude! Harden is unbelievable. The way he's carrying this team is just...no words. This is some Kobe 05-06 type shit right here, except Harden's team is winning a ton more games. I've never seen this before. Anyway, yeah he was amazing tonight. Stepping back for 3s like they're layups. :lol

I've been saying doe, top 3 MVP candidate. People didn't believe me but now they're starting to see. Harden is legit superstar status. There's no way to spin it.

Without Dwight and Jones, this Rockets team won 7 of their last 10 games, defeating teams like Suns, Mavs and Grizzlies. This team is loaded as well.

Without Bogut and Lee, we have very little production from our front court and Curry had to play almost 40 minutes tonight.

He was not even supposed to play tonight due to a bad back and still dropped 34-8-4 on over 50 percent shooting. Had we had dwight, jones, papaniKola and Cannan we would have easily won.

You're trolling now. Harden could've done more, but even when he had a nice game you still take your time to write your posts that totally shit his play. I honestly only see you come out with this Harden bullshit whenever he has a bad game or when he played like crap in a little stretch. Dude just came off of back spasms from Saturday night. Played like 40 minutes today and still put up 34/8/4/4. The guys around him were crap today. No one shot the ball good except Harden. He'd have to be ****ing God if he wanted us to win this game. Also, Houston was without 4 of their guys this game. I thought the Warriors were going to blow us out, but that didn't happen. We were close in the 4th, but it went downhill in the final few minutes. The fact that you still give James Harden crap after he played like that seriously means you need to find something else to do because this just made you look like a total stupid piece of shit.

He couldn't do better than 1-3 in the final 5 minutes when the game was still winnable? He had to play like God to outdo that?

Back spasms, sore ******, blah blah blah. If he's on the court and capable of putting up 34/8/4, he's capable of closing a game out.

The standards for this guy are just laughable.

Try coming back and dropping those numbers with back spasms. And you ever heard of the line "Fatigue gets to you at some point"? Clearly you haven't. Talking a bunch of baloney without experiencing any of the things these NBA players do, FOH. Harden played 40 minutes tonight... Fatigue got to him and you still give him crap. Watching the way Harden played this game, I knew no one was gonna shit on him, but when I got on... there was 0 surprise. Saw your name, saw your posts. You only came out when Harden did something wrong. Never saw you say shit when he was on. You're pathetic.

Harden is a better player than Curry and Thompson. If you replace Harden with either Curry or Thompson on the current depleted Rox squad, would they still be 16-5 in the West? Also, full Rox squad usually gives the Warriors fits.

Curry is more efficient than Harden. That's why he's going to finish ahead of Harden in the MVP voting.

I didn't realize Bogut didn't play. So Rockets were missing their starting Center and we were missing our entire starting front court. I'm surprised Harden didn't drop at least 40 with no Bogut.

Steph also thoroughly outplayed harden in Houston this season; 34/9/5/4 vs 8/24 shooting and 22pts. Doesn't matter apparently....They're probably in the same tier but id take steph, obviously it's close though.


Oh, and Curry being the best shooter and one of the most skilled players in the game has nothing to do with him being efficient, nope. It's all his team

:lol :applause: Steph's CAREER shooting 47/44/90, 1st season 46/44/89, 2nd season 48/44/93, or 3 seasons ago when he shot 45/45/90. He never was efficient before only now that he has a lot of talent around him. And he certainly doesn't help raise the level of his teammates play with the attention he draws, spacing he provides with his elite shooting and passing & playmaking ability.

Houston was missing their front court to. Their starting center in dwight who is the best defensive big in the NBA averaging 19 and 12 boards to go with 2 blocks.they were missing Terrence jones their starting power forward averaging 14 and 7. They were missing their backup small forward in Papanikola and even his backup in Garcia. Not to mention Cannan who had 22 points in his last game and was the backup point guard. Despite all that they led and looked like the better team for the majority of the night.

From what I saw tonight the rockets were throwing makeshift lineups out there. They had harden guarding speight and nick Johnson guarding Barnes because of not having enough bodies and their backups avaliable

Harden and the Rockets have been kicking our ass the past couple years, so that's not surprising. Besides the Spurs and Grizzlies, the Rockets are my least favorite team to play.

He may be the better play but currently no MVP will be handed out to someone who is on a team that is a 5th seed.

[UK2K]

Yeah Curry being a great shooter has nothing to do with it.
Curry is an elite shooter.

But he wouldn't be putting up those numbers playing along side D Leaguers and UDFA's like Harden is.

That's not even debatable.

What Harden has done, and is doing, with a team of outcasts and nobodies, to have them sitting at 16-5, is nothing short of incredible.

Like I said in the game thread, we won't know how good Houston is for at least another three weeks, probably until the all star break. It'll be that long before they start playing with a full team.

[UK2K]

He may be the better play but currently no MVP will be handed out to someone who is on a team that is a 5th seed.

I think it's hilarious when people say how "stacked" the Warriors are. If we were losing games, people would be talking about;

Overpaid Iggy only averaging 7/3/2.

Sophomore bust Harrison Barnes only averaging 11/3/1.

Hobbled-ass, one-dimensional, Andrew Bogut.

Who the fukc is Draymond Green?

Overpaid, always injured D. Lee can't even get on the court.

Leandro Barbosa is still in the NBA?



Instead, we are winning games, and now apparently Curry is being "carried" by the aforementioned team. :oldlol:


Don't get me wrong, I think we have a solid team, it's just interesting how much the narrative changes when you're winning games. I'm going to LMAO at the team that overpays Draymond Green in the off-season.

That's an opinion, not a fact... but I agree that Harden's game is better suited to carrying an offense during the regular season; most specifically because of his ability to get into the paint, and finish with contact.

Tarik Black is a scrub. D-Mo just started playing good a few games ago, before that he'd been a scrub his whole career. Before the season started Jason Terry was considered a scrub. So yes, Harden is leading a team of nobodies to one of the best records in the NBA.

that is correct, but their margin of victory has been impressive as well. none the less, it's way too early to feed into the hype machine for any team, this includes the rockets and harden's play that you are so proud of.

games get tougher when the season winds down, and eventually every schedule evens out. the nuggets won 55 games just 2 years ago and were bounced in the first round by the warriors.

when it comes to the warriors, rockets, dallas, and portland we are all holding our breaths. because come post-season time, we don't know for sure what we're going to get.

the spurs will pick it up, okc will pick it up, and the clippers will pick it up. the rest will be question marks until proven otherwise and regular season win totals does not prove anything.

[bdreason]

9-0 with Howard.

7-5 without Howard.



So Harden has the Rockets one game over .500 without Howard, with the only real impressive win coming against Memphis at home.

Look, Harden is a great player, but the "carrying scrubs" narrative is hilarious. Could Curry go 7-5 with the same roster? Against the Wolves, Knicks, Kings, Bucks, Suns, Mavs, Lakers, and Grizz?

Harden sucked fat dick to close this game. 1-3 in the final 5 minutes, 2-5 in the 4th overall. While Klay blocked the shit out of him, lead his team in the 4th when GS went on a run that pulled the game out of reach.

Harden stays fooling people. 34 points overall, complete mess when his team needed him most. Deceptive piece of garbage.

i agree about the clippers only when they match-up against a team like the grizzlies. i think memphis's frontcourt is too much for the clippers, and their style of play is the anti-thesis to what they do.

still i have to cringe when people say the west has never been stronger. it has depth but at the end of the day, we all know it's going to be the spurs vs okc again unless something catastrophic happens. they are just head and shoulders above the rest of the teams.

back in the early 2000's, we're talking about teams like the blazers, the lakers, the kings, the jazz, and the spurs were all capable of winning titles during that time if they got out the west. the only team we know for sure that is capable of winning a title regardless of the competition that comes out of the east is the spurs. okc didn't come close and the rest depends on whether its against cleveland or not.

But, Curry's team IS stacked and Harden IS leading a team of nobodies to one of the best records in the league all while playing a tougher schedule than the Warriors?

You probably didn't read the whole thread bro.

Maybe you shouldn't be rostering a bunch of scrubs then. Sounds like your GM screwed up.

9-0 with Howard.

7-5 without Howard.



So Harden has the Rockets one game over .500 without Howard, with the only real impressive win coming against Memphis at home.

Look, Harden is a great player, but the "carrying scrubs" narrative is hilarious. Could Curry go 7-5 with the same roster? Against the Wolves, Knicks, Kings, Bucks, Suns, Mavs, Lakers, and Grizz?


Probably.

7-5 without Howard, Jones, Beverley for 7 of those games, papanikilou for 5 of those games, Canaan for two of those games.


Tarik Black has played as many minutes as Howard. You know, the undrafted free agent? Didn't even get drafted. Yeah he's been the starting center the last three weeks.

I don't know what you see in the rockets roster, but you're the only one.

Or maybe all the good players have been plagued by injuries. Why are you Warriors fans almost always wrong about everything Rockets related?

You're right. He should find players who are immune to injury.

Stupid Morey.

7-5 without Howard with a favorable schedule during that span of games. I'm not sure I would consider that "leading a team of nobodies to one of the best records in the league". I would consider that holding serve... and claiming that Steph Curry is somehow incapable of achieving such a feat is laughable at best.

Seriously, they're making me feel great about our chances. Team full of scrubs + Harden apparently. They sound more like Lakers fans trying to prop up Kobe. :oldlol:

OK. It's a silly hypothetical anyway. Here's what we do know.

Golden State had had an easier schedule.
That's a fact backed up by empirical evidence.

Golden State has been blessed with health a lot more.

Golden State IS stacked.
Harden IS leading a team of nobodies to an amazing 16-5 record while putting up MVP type numbers.

This last two aren't hyoothticals, those are facts by consensus.

Agree?

Look at SOS :oldlol:

The Warriors have had an easier schedule than the Rockets. So much for Houston only beating scrub teams.

Portland, Spurs and Dallas also have had an easier schedule.

So, shall we stay consistent then?

Golden State's record is fools gold and no one should be impressed. They are winning only because of their favorable schedule.

Is that how this works, ISH? :confusedshrug:

Clips have had a tougher schedule than both of ya f*cks.

We coming for that numba 1 spot. :rockon:

You're ****ing pathetic. Let it go. What the god awful **** of the world is your beef with James Harden? Stupid asshole.
