if Harden had 21 points less than 40% shooting from the field and 50% from the ft line in an elimination game. He would get destroyed. 


If I remember correctly, lots of the commentary was about Giannis needing to develop his game after being shut down

One is 25 and didn’t start playing basketball until 2008.
 

The other is 30, has played in a Finals and been on multiple playoff teams that collapsed, disappointed or ended embarrassingly with him as the leader. 
 

Giannis was criticized but we also acknowledge he’s still really young and learning. Harden has been at this long enough that we see a pattern and it’s unavoidable

Falling in 7 to the among greatest NBA dynasties is one thing.

 

Getting danced on repeatedly by Kyle Freaking Lowry is quite another.  Tho, Inhope Giannis gets his revenge this year...and he better!


That’s just it, Harden doesn’t have a signature win, but he has signature losses.

In 2018, he goes 12-29 including 2-13 from three in game 7 at home when they had been up on GS 3-2 before losing game 6. 
11-25 last year in the game 6 loss including 7-12 from the FT in a game they lost by 5.

In 2015, in game 3 against GS, he goes 3-16. Game 5, a close out loss, he goes 2-11. 
He had another 2-11 game in the close out blowout against SA plus a 3-17 game that series. 

He is gonna get more opportunities this playoffs against some damn good teams.

You really going to fault Harden for losing to the greatest team ever assembled? 
 

how old was harden with OKc in the finals. 

 

If you are THE superstar on your team and you have the greatest team ever assembled on the ropes, that's your moment to cement your place in history. I'm not saying he is the only reason they lost, just talking signature wins. He needs one. 

 

I guess he was 22 or 23. Don't know when his birthday is and don't feel like looking.

Harden gets a lot of hate but we going to pretend Giannis didn’t average 22 points a game against the Raptors?
 

 

The story in that series was what Middleton averaged (13.7).  Teams can play the “make someone else beat you” game against one star teams.  It’s not supposed to work with two stars though.  The Raptors were forming three and four man walls to stop Giannis and his allstar teammate couldn’t do anything with all the wide open looks in the world.

We gonna act like that’s the first time Harden has failed spectacularly in the playoffs?  He’s not the same guy when he’s not getting every call.

Crazy efficient too.  If Houston would’ve jettisoned Capela early and started Small Ball in November, Russ might be angling for a second MVP.

 

Hes been that good in February.

 

Who are you and what have you done with the real TryTheBeal???
