If any other player had 42/5/9 on 15/24 shooting with the game sealing shot...

[J Shuttlesworth]

You all would be going berserk. Easily the best performance in the playoffs so far and ISH is shockingly quiet about it. Oh and before you bitch about free throws, he hit 7/7

Lol I was just thinking about making a similar thread. The haters are furious.

[Dr Hawk]

He is performing like a beast so far, but everytime I see that stupid celebration I suffer from severe rash

[JerrySeinfeld]

Who do the Mavericks have that can defend Harden?

I'd like to see what Harden does going up against Kawhi Leonard.

[HurricaneKid]

Calm down. Kawhi is coming.

[juju151111]

Lets see him next round.

[IllegalD]

Maybe because it's the first time in 3 playoffs where he's not shooting sub 40%... :confusedshrug:

[RRR3]

Why do people act like Harden hasn't had big games versus the Spurs? :biggums:

[Trollsmasher]

Both teams scored 130... this is meaningless, there was no D played in that game at all

[J Shuttlesworth]

He's shooting 46% for the series.

Harden is a beast though. It's unfair to be honest. He's the real MVP.

It's K. I like it when is quite. :oldlol: Harden has literally silenced his haters. He's not just playing good or decent....he's playing out of his ****ing mind. By far the best player this post season so far.

Gotta love it...from maybe missing the playoffs to grabbing the 2nd seed and probably sweeping the Mavericks. Heaven, I'm in heaven.

:rockon:

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Prior to this game, he was shooting ~40%, his norm for the playoffs.

Great performance, but people want to see more from Harden; against legit contenders specifically.

You guys better beat the Spurs if the Clippers can't. I don't see Cavs/Hawks/Bulls beating em unless LeBron or Rose goes off or Spurs choke. Tired of Bran losing to Spuds lol

It wasn't just a good performance doe. It was superb. It's the kind of numbers that would be legendary if he did it in a bigger situation.

I LOVE that about his success. People hate the guy for some reason, it's awesome. :lol

Houston will beat the Spurs but even if we don't, no shame in losing to the defending champs. Spurs my favorite team outside of Houston so if Houston doesn't win I want Spurs to win it all again. :oldlol:

[RRR3]

Budadiiii, you think Harden>Durant?

:biggums:

[Budadiiii]

I watched the first few minutes of the game yesterday. He hit like 5 straight shots.

I get home and turn on the highlights. 42 points and the game winner.

WOW!

Huge mistake trading this guy away.

We'll see though. For now I'm a Harden and Irving stan. :rockon:

You know how retard strength is actually a real phenomenon?

dubeta has that retard insight. He just KNOWS. I don't know how or why, but the dude knows.

I personally like the dude, we've been chatting through PM's for a couple days.

He's actually a good kid. Head on straight. He's been teaching me shit about the game, about how Kobe didn't deserve any of his FMVP's. Did you know that?

Like I said, if the MVP is given to somebody other than Beard this year, it will be a complete ****ing travesty.

The real MVP (valuable, no best player) is having a great series against the Mavs and their awful defense.

If he delivers against Spurs, haters will have to stay in their basements.
If Rockets defeat Spurs with Harden beasting ... expect a massive meltdown.

Been watching the games...Harden eurosteps past some 6 foot tall guard and then kicks out to the 3 point line or misses the layup. Least impressive basketball I have ever witnessed.

[nzahir]

He shot under 40% last 2 years in playoffs with houston, now lets see what he does this year, started off slow first 2 games

Spurs will push Rockets shit back in.


Harden will shoot worse than 45% for the series and be well guarded by Kawhi

Monta Ellis - 25th at his position for DRPM
Tyreke Evans - 31st

Plus the Mavs put Aminu on Harden sometimes who is 6th in DRPM at his position. Still dropped 42, didn't matter.

Not to mention:
Dallas - 22nd DRTG
NOP - 27th DRTG

Now you're out of room to hold more L's so just take this D in your A instead

Ok, some nerdball advanced stats. Who would you rather dribble penetrate against, Monta Ellis or Tyreke Evans? :rolleyes:

[Jacks3]

Dallas is one of the worst defenses in the league. That's why nobody cares.

The question is how will game look when he plays against great, smart defenses that will expose his ridiculously simplistic offensive game.

Harden this year was BELOW league-average on shots from 0-3 feet.

Significantly below-average on shots from 3-10 feet.

Well above league-average on shots from 10-16 feet, but only took 7% of his shots from that range (1.2 shots a game)

And significantly below league-average on shots from 16-23 feet.

Literally his entire game is predicated on FT's and threes.

Now it may true that he's become so good that it doesn't even matter and he'll dominate no matter what, but we'll have to wait and see.

42 pts and the W.

Probably because he sucks balls from everywhere else.

56 Wins
2nd seed in the West
3rd best record in the NBA
42 points in the playoffs on 70% shooting
Up 3-0 in the series

Boy, why can't everyone "suck everywhere else" like James Harden? :roll:

These ***** won't be laughing when they get eliminated in the second round with Harden stinking it up...just like he did in 2012, 2013, and 2014.

Harden stans celebrating after performances vs one of the most flawed teams I have seen in the playoffs in awhile.


He's getting guarded by J J barea, and monta ellis, with Zombie Dirk who can't even move his feet anymore at PF. Dirk's back up is Amare... I don't think it is possible to create a worse group of defenders that are on a playoff team.

You still can't take away the fact that 42/9/5 on 62.5% shooting is extremely impressive. Harden was making big time shots and helped his teammates get open looks. If he didn't do any of that yesterday, the series would've been at 2-1 right now. Best performance so far in the playoffs.
