Lebron > Harden tonight :applause: :applause:

[Smook A.]

W > L

[Beastmode88]

Still didn't matter. Lebron had the chance to win the game multiple times. Driving to the basket but bricks it. Free throws and bricks it. Clearly empty stats on both parties.

[nba_55]

W > L
I'm talking about 2 players, not 2 teams.

[ronnymac]

Lebron > Harden tonight :applause: :applause:
One had 35 shots and the other 18. harden got 4 less points while taking 17 less shots and his team won

[24-Inch_Chrome]

W > L

Yup. I don't think there's a professional athlete in the world who wouldn't trade great stats for a win.

[G0ATbe]

Further proof that eye test>>>>stats:applause:

For the people who use eye test, they'd know that LeBald choked the game away singlehandedly.

Someone has to take those shots, it can't be delly

[tpols]

Oh wow.. this is like Lebron's career in a nutshell

[Budadiiii]

Durant 31ppg on 55% > LeBron 28ppg on 47%

Harden didn't score once on Lebron.

[Milbuck]

Yup. I don't think there's a professional athlete in the world who wouldn't trade great stats for a win.
I don't understand where the stats were great either lol. Dude went 15-35, scored 4 more points on 17 more shots, and was absolute trash in the clutch. Harden is still a ****** but he won the matchup clearly imho.

[LongLiveTheKing]

Durant 31ppg on 55% > LeBron 28ppg on 47%

Empty stats.

[nba_55]

Durant 31ppg on 55% > LeBron 28ppg on 47%

Durant outplayed LeBron in the 2012 finals.

Lebron guarded Harden and Harden didn't score once on him, while Durant guarded Chalmers and Chalmers went off on him. Huge difference.

[Budadiiii]

Empty stats.
LeBron's career is empty stats.

[knicksman]

2/5<<6/6

I don't understand where the stats were great either lol. Dude went 15-35, scored 4 more points on 17 more shots, and was absolute trash in the clutch. Harden is still a ****** but he won the matchup clearly imho.

No he didn't. Lebron played much better defensively.

[k0kakw0rld]

Harden is 0-4 vs Curry

Curry >>>>>>>>>>> Harden

/thread

[Kingwillball]

I would Grade Lebron a B- as although he played hard and was engaged he missed a bunch of FT's the game winner at end of Regulation along with 2 or 3 bunnies around the rim. I give Harden a B cause they won but he lived at FT line to boost his stats.

[Budadiiii]

No he didn't. Lebron played much better defensively.
No he didn't. Harden was a beast on defense.

YOU DON'T PAY ATTENTION! Rewind the game and watch again. Harden stepped up HUGE on defense when it MATTERED MOST.

LeBron choked miserably yet again even though his team fought back to take the lead early in the 4th.

[el_locoteee]

Lebron guarded Harden and Harden didn't score once on him, while Durant guarded Chalmers and Chalmers went off on him. Huge difference.
They were doubling Harden and He was dishing beautiful passes just for Houston big to miss them at the rim or turn the ball over.

[nba_55]

They were doubling Harden and He was dishing beautiful passes just for Houston big to miss them at the rim or turn the ball over.
LOL they weren't doubling him. He couldn't score on James so he passed the ball. He didn't score once on him.

[k0kakw0rld]

They were doubling Harden and He was dishing beautiful passes just for Houston big to miss them at the rim or turn the ball over.
It is a strategy that allowed the Cavs to stay in the game and take the lead. LeBron just blew it at the end lol.

He didn't choke, he just missed shots, it happens.

I was just trying to make the general point about winning being the only thing that really matters. LeBron's numbers today definitely weren't up to his standards, not a great game in his book.

[warriorfan]

LeShook / MJ comparisons are totally insane, peeps should go back to Kobe vs LSJ

[Budadiiii]

He didn't choke, he just missed shots, it happens.
Missing 8 FT's and easy layups around the rim in crunch time isn't choking, then WHAT THE HELL IS?

Delusional stan. Get off these forums. You are everything wrong with fans today.

[PsychoBe]

He didn't choke, he just missed shots, it happens.

you still making excuses like your mom did for you when you kept eating the glue at school?

"he's not special, he's just hungry, it happens."

[UK2K]

He didn't choke, he just missed shots, it happens.
Missing shots is not the same as missing shots as the best player in the world with a chance to win the game against anoyher MVP candidate in OT on the road.

[oh the horror]

Bron playing over 40 minutes and heaving up 35 shots seems ridiculous to me. Coach can't draw up anything else?


This team may not be as "stacked" as people would like to talk trash about.

[nba_55]

you still making excuses like your mom did for you when you kept eating the glue at school?

"he's not special, he's just hungry, it happens."

Lame joke :oldlol: FAIL

[nba_55]

Missing shots is not the same as missing shots as the best player in the world with a chance to win the game against anoyher MVP candidate in OT on the road.

Jordan went 3/19 in a playoffs game, he choked?

[Budadiiii]

Missing shots is not the same as missing shots as the best player in the world with a chance to win the game against anoyher MVP candidate in OT on the road.
Missing two FT's down 1 with 5 seconds left is the very definition of choking. :oldlol:

[UK2K]

Jordan went 3/19 in a playoffs game, he choked?
Did they win or lose?

If they won, no. If they lost, yes.

Also, how many TOs, Assists, Rebounds. Lebron choked. Hard. Its OK, it happens. Harden has choked too. There's always the next game.

[Smook A.]

Harden is 0-4 vs Curry

Curry >>>>>>>>>>> Harden

/thread
What a great explanation as to why you think Curry is better than Harden :oldlol:

Can you imagine how RETARDED an analyst would look if that was his only argument to prove that Curry > Harden? You just made yourself look like a doofus. Step your game up, chump.

[nba_55]

It was an off shooting end to his game, it happens.

Wouldn't be saying that if Harden had more points and Cavs won.


And Houton winning had more to do with Lebron missing free throws than Houston being better.

LOL, so now we should give credit for his 3/19 shooting because he had the most stacked team in history? :oldlol:
Good one.

And you didn't answer, did Jordan choke or it was just an off shooting game?

[PsychoBe]

so....bran choked? :roll: :roll: :roll:

[Smook A.]

Actually, I wouldn't say jack shit. I'd look stupid to say Harden > LeBron if Harden ended up with more point and lost the game. Oh and keep coming up with excuses... LeBron choked hard in the end, but props to Houston for keeping themselves in the game. The Houston crowd is the real MVP.

[Budadiiii]

Wouldn't be saying that if Harden had more points and Cavs won.

Exactly.

Cavs are the better team but LeBron choked so Houston won.

Who's the MVP again?

[TheMan]

One had 35 shots and the other 18. harden got 4 less points while taking 17 less shots and his team won

It depends if they won.

I did answer.

The luxury of having the most stacked team of all-time, MJ stans are the worst :facepalm

Sit down fggot:mad:

Harden was scared to shoot when Lebron was on him, Lebron made his take less shots. Harden taking less shots is actually an argument in favor of Lebron.

[Budadiiii]

Down 1, LeBron missed two FT's with 5 seconds left.

[Jud]

LeBron only guarded toward the end of the 4th and in OT...

[knicksman]

nba55 on full troll mode because of 2/5

Here take the 2/5 bran stans and move on

[nba_55]

LeBron only guarded toward the end of the 4th and in OT...

No, he guarded him a little in the 3rd, almost the whole 4th quarter and overtime. Why are you lying?

[nba_55]

Down 1, LeBron missed two FT's with 5 seconds left.
Off shooting night, it happens. It's not the first time that Lebron has had an off-shooting ft night. Had nothing to do with choking, he had these kind of off shooting nights against irrelevant lottery franchises like Knicks.

[Alamо]

It only took Lebron taking 35 shots and 10 freethrows to get 37 points :applause:

[edrick]

17 more shots to get 4 more points

Sit down fggot:mad:

17 more shots, and 8 less FTAs. Harden leading the league in FTAs, even with teams intentionally fouling the **** out of DJ for several minutes of every ****ing game. :roll:

[YouGotServed]

Lebron guarded Harden and Harden didn't score once on him, while Durant guarded Chalmers and Chalmers went off on him. Huge difference.

Joke?

Harden repeatedly scored on LeBron. For goodness sake, King James was BEGGING for an iso. Saw him wave off Josh Smith several times. He clearly wanted that iso. Absolutely toyed with LeBron in the 4th qtr.

[nba_55]

Harden got scared of Lebron, he couldn't do shit on him, so he passed the ball. He tried a few time, nothing happened. How many times he scored on Lebron? NONE. The whole game, he had only 1 play where he got the best of Lebron, the rest, Lebron owned him when he guarded him. YOu can't credit Harden for getting scared.

[Budadiiii]

He only got the best of Lebron 1 time, that time, he got to the free throw line. He never scored on James after that.

[Fudge]

Why is my LeBron family melting down so hard? :facepalm

[TheMan]

LeStans on full damage control :roll:

[navy]

Lebron lost the game by himself practically. Harden won the matchup and Lebron and Westbrook were never legit candidates for the mvp either. Harden just has to hope that the record between the Warriors and Rockets is minimal

[pauk]

I think Lebron easily outperformed him, but Rockets won.... damn that FT shooting by Lebron tonight tho, one of those days, he was horrible from the line entire night, Shaq-like shooting.

[pauk]

Harden didnt do shit... his teammates bailed him out when it mattered... couldnt say the same for Lebrons...

[nba_55]

Yeah, he sometimes had these kind of free shooting nights, can't do anything about it.

[edrick]

LeStans on full damage control :roll:

No different than when the Cavs win and the haters disappear, or makeup nonsense. The Cavs have still been playing great basketball of late, and if it weren't for a terrible night from the line by Lebron, would have won without Kyrie.

[Budadiiii]

Harden didnt do shit... his teammates bailed him out when it mattered... couldnt say the same for Lebrons...
You trolling scumbag. Harden was doing everything. Driving, getting and 1's, drawing fouls, setting up his teammates for easy baskets down low, and playing really tough defense.

You're such a ****ing scumbag.

[nba_55]

There's no doubt that Cavs are the better team. Despite no Kyrie, Lebron having an off-shooting night from ft line, Shump/Smith struggling, they almost won on the road.

[nba_55]

You trolling scumbag. Harden was doing everything. Driving, getting and 1's, drawing fouls, setting up his teammates for easy baskets down low, and playing really tough defense.

Lebron shut him down when he guarded him.

[ShawkFactory]

Once Bron matched up with him he clearly looked like the better player.

One regular season game on the road against a top team. Oh well. Can't really expect Lebron to miss that many free throws again. He let them off the hook.

Cavs would easily win a series even without Kyrie.

Since when did Lebron defenders turn into Kobe defenders?

People know darn well if Kobe had Lebrons statline and Lebron had Hardens, then someone posted this topic, Lebron stans would say "BUT HE NEEDED 30 FGS TO DO IT!" :oldlol:

[Budadiiii]

Lebron shut him down when he guarded him.
LeBron shut himself down too. Missing all those shots and FT's.

Harden wasn't shut down in the slightest. If you want to say LeBron shut Harden down then why aren't you saying Ariza shut LeBron down?

[nba_55]

LeBron shut himself down too. Missing all those shots and FT's.

Harden wasn't shut down in the slightest. If you want to say LeBron shut Harden down then why aren't you saying Ariza shut LeBron down?

Because Lebron scored easily on Ariza while Harden didn't score once on Lebron. :hammerhead:

[UK2K]

He only got the best of Lebron 1 time, that time, he got to the free throw line. He never scored on James after that.
But in the clutch Bran drove on Harden and got nothing.

Harden owned this game, on both ends of the court, and his group of rag tag misfits continue to win.

[Kvnzhangyay]

Ariza pretty much DID shut down Lebron...

Lebron pretty much DID shut down Harden whenever he guarded him also

GOATbrook had like 30 shots to get 38 points the other night, and all them ****** slammed him. Bron chucks up 35 shots to get 37 points and they quiet af.

So best player in the world missed bunnies?

So then he choked?

[Budadiiii]

Ariza pretty much DID shut down Lebron...

So Ariza > LeBron?

What does it matter if Harden missed a couple long shots while LeBron was guarding him? ****. You guys will cling to anything.

[nba_55]

So best player in the world missed bunnies?

So then he choked?

No, everyone can miss bunnies, Lebron was confident the whole game, he didn't choke.

[nba_55]

So Ariza > LeBron?

What does it matter if Harden missed a couple long shots while LeBron was guarding him? ****. You guys will cling to anything.

He passed the ball because he couldn't do anything on Lebron, his teammates basically bailed him out, Pauk is right.

Sure...?

[Budadiiii]

He passed the ball because he couldn't do anything on Lebron, his teammates basically bailed him out, Pauk is right.
LeBron choked.

They were down like 8 going into the 4th and his team started playing great when he was on the bench. They actually had the lead until he came back in and started missing every shot and multiple important FT's.

LeBron choked the win away for his team.

I see shooting percentage suddenly doesn't matter. Nice.

[Asukal]

To be perfectly honest, at least bran tried. But let's not forget this is the regular season, I expect him to be completely passive come playoffs time. :oldlol:
