Welcome to yesterday.

[kells333]

24 points on 11 shots is pretty damn impressive

[Genaro]

I just wish the refs stopped bail him out.
Those 4 FGs he made, 2 were of Mavs' TOs where he didn't back on defense and when the Mavs turned over, he was all alone.

[UK2K]

24 points on 11 shots is pretty damn impressive
He had 24 points and had as many assists as FG attempts.

That's dope.

[UK2K]

I just wish the refs stopped bail him out.
Those 4 FGs he made, 2 were of Mavs' TOs where he didn't back on defense and when the Mavs turned over, he was all alone.
And 7 of those free throws were garbage time and a technical foul...

So what's you're point?

[kells333]

Never understood why people don't realize getting to the ft line is an amazing skill to have

[ronnymac]

Harden was light years better then last seasons playoff performances. He played under control and moved the ball and got everyone going. He got Howard going early and got Brewer in the 4th hot. When the mavs are throwing double on the ball, the move that makes the most sense is to move the ball instead of holding onto the rock and turning it over.

instead of talking out of you're ass, think.

Its been 1 game lol. That said I expect big things from Harden

[ronnymac]

Its been 1 game lol. That said I expect big things from Harden
1 game or not the dude started a worthless thread bashing a guy who actually played quiet well. Played under control and never forced anything out of the ordinary. Got the Rockets offense to function without any problems.

[Genaro]

And 7 of those free throws were garbage time and a technical foul...

So what's your point?
I actually wasn't the one that said it was too many FTs. I just felt that sometimes he just misses the ball or the shot and the refs just give him a touch foul.
Harden has a enormous talent to score points, he shouldn't play the way he does always trying to get a call.

[bobopenguin]

And 7 of those free throws were garbage time and a technical foul...

So what's you're point?

so that wasn't really a MVP performance, correct? so why did rockets fans claimed that was a mvp performance from a mvp player?

[UK2K]

so that wasn't really a MVP performance, correct? so why did rockets fans claimed that was a mvp performance from a mvp player?
Even without the garbage time free throws and the tech foul shot he had 17 and 11 and the best +/- on the team.

I think that's pretty good. MVP worthy.

[greatest-ever]

He's not gonna get 17 fts in Dallas.

4 shots made. Nice try 17 FTA :applause:

They will start to lose when the refs swallow their whistle.

No, Lin is no longer with the team so Houston have no way of choking games now.

ISH: Where a player is judged after one game

If Harden scored big without having to take a large amount of free throws, people here would be saying "MVP" everywhere. Say if that actually happened, and then he played poorly in the 2nd game. You'd be seeing things like "Playoff Harden is back" or "Harden shits the bed again". It's crazy around here.


He's not gonna get 17 fts in Dallas.
7 (or 8) of those free throws came from intentional/technical fouls :rolleyes:

***** if he shot 8/11 and had 24 points that would be impressive. shooting 4/11 with 17fta is not impressive.

Drawing fouls is a skill no matter how much you hate seeing guys shoot free throws. Harden finished the game with a TS% of 65% which is really impressive. Yeah he shot like crap, but he made it up with his great free throw shooting. Also, don't forget that about 1/2 of his attempts came from intentional/technical fouls.

Kobe mastered the punk fake and getting foul. The guy average 10+ Ft in 3 straight seasons as a jump shooter and was famous for opening his arm to draw fouls after shooting, he even broke Manu nose doing so.

[el_locoteee]

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

At least he makes his Ft instead of choking in the clutch.

[Smook A.]

I really wasn't joking, child.

[ronnymac]

You know harden should shoot the ball when he is doubled team and take his teammates out of the game instead of moving the ball and getting Dwight and the likes of Brewer and Jones going like he did and the net result was 7 double figure scorers and Harrden had 11 assists.. People lack of basketball iq is mind boggoling.

[Jacks3]

Prime Kobe's FT rate was nowhere near as high as Harden.

No, hence why i said "without ref bias".

That means he still gets to the line, but its actually realistic. I see no more than 18 ppg if the refs put him on the same spectrum as other players in terms of "treatment".

No point in arguing with a Harden stan, who refuses to admit that he gets a TON of BS FT's. More than anyone in recent history. Can't wait till he folds like a bitch AGAIN.

23 PPG with 0 FT's. Ring + FMVP. Something which Harden will never have.

[dunksby]

Harden isn't a good shooter, you can't expect him to play to his weaknesses, his drives and foul drawing skills are elite so he is going to exploit them to get the win.
Harden put up numbers, Rockets win, rich stats, everybody go home.

How about winning 3 rings and a FMVP? Or how about taking a massive dump on your franchise player in '12, while playing on one leg?

Do you know what Harden is famous for?

brah, let it go. American Texan Houston Rockets Harden fan will always deny the fact, plus they like to sleep through the ball game.

[Dresta]

Oh, how satisfying it will be to again see Harden freeze in big playoff moments, shoot sub 40%, and get eliminated in the first or 2nd round. It will be fun to see his pathetic fans run away with their tails tucked between their legs after (once again) running their mouths way too often during the regular season, and Harden's play making them look like a bunch of clueless clowns.

Good times.

I like how you added that in there ever so subtle like, because it used to be a first round elimination joke, but now you see he's about to wreck the Mavs so you gotta change it up.

CANT WAIT UNTIL HES ELIMINATED IN THE FIRST or second ROUND AGAIN.

:rolleyes:

He's playing the Mavs with home court - they've sucked for a while, and their defense is shit. If he plays alright and they beat the Mavs, only to get steamrolled in the next round with him playing like shit, it won't improve my consideration of him a bit.

I wouldn't get so hyped about it if i were you either. He's still only won one game - plenty of time for him to freeze and/or choke again.

Next move... Downplay the achievements of the team, and downplay the other team to make it appear as if winning a 7 game series against the Dallas Mavericks is no achievement.


Mavs in 6. Parsons with the game 6 dagger. Harden literally shits himself on court.


Mavs in 6.


Mavs in 6, not worried.


Dallas in 6, baby.


Chandler locks up the paint

Dirk goes off

Harden doesn't get his fts

Mavs win 4-2


Rockets lose tonight.

Mavs 110 Rockets 103


Try and pretend like the Mavs dont have a chance in this series and Houston is some unstoppable juggernaut. For what its worth, I gave the Rockets a 60-40 shot of winning the series, about right on pace with the 66% chance the computers gave them. So the Rockets were slightly favored, but to try and act like the Rockets were a foregone conclusion to roll over them is you simply moving the goalposts.

It went from Houston won't make the playoffs before the season started, to Houston won't get HCA, to Houston won't win the first round, to if Houston bows out in the 2nd round they were a failure. Keep moving them goal posts, next time, it'll be Houston won't make the WCF.

Why are you posting the opinions of people who aren't me as if that has anything whatsoever to do with my own opinion?

I wasn't pretending any of that. Dallas just aren't a very good team, particularly defensively.

You are the only non-Rockets fan I know of to predict them to crush the Mavericks because the Mavericks are a shit team.

i hope this bearded pile of garbage gets exposed for the bearded pile of trash he is.

[R.I.P.]

So why doesn't every player do it then?

Uh cause you need the refs to actually give you the BS calls.

You think if Langston Galloway blatantly runs into Dirk he gets that call? :lol

[UK2K]

So Harden is the only player in the NBA who has the refs? Does Lebron have the refs? Why doesn't he shoot 10 FTA per game? Westbrook? Oh he does. What about Durant, Curry, Melo, Rose, Kobe? Do they have the refs too? Do they shoot 10 FTA per game?

Then it must only be Harden and Westbrook. Only they have the refs.

But since you ask about Galloway, I will point out that Tony Wroten and Alexyey Shved are #7 and #8 in FTA per 36, so yeah, I do think if Galloway was as aggressive he would get that call too. Nevermind the fact that Harden is #3 in the league in drives this season, one of only four players with more than 800.

You got it wrong, is 50% of his shoots came from the FT line. AKA half of his points. Not his shooting porcentage :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm ther is not a % sign on my post

What the **** are you babbling about? Wade scored ~23 points even if you removed ALL his FT's from the Finals. Even if he doesn't get calls, Wade has a very good post-game, is one of the GOAT slashers, better midrange game, etc. etc.. Literally the only thing Harden does better than Wade is shoot 3's (he's not elite at that either, but is very good though).
