Harden = gimmick

[Trollsmasher]

His personality, his beard, his offense - everything about him is a gimmick

There is no alpha under that tough guy act, there is no chin under that beard and there is no game under those free throws

He purposely grew his beard so that everytime he does his usual drive with his head flopping backwards, his foul zone becomes larger. Most of the fouls he get is when the defender touches his beard.

I like Harden and the commercials he's in. He's legit funny.

Even if he has the beard for marketing purposes, it's working so what's wrong with that?

Despite what you think about his game, he put up 25/5/6 on 46% shooting, 62 TS% making him the best offensive SG in the league, by a clear margin.

I get why he's hated but I feel it's over the top.

[JUDGE WITNESS]

there is no chin under that beard
:lol :lol

[KDthunderup]

Harden has the most fundamentally flawed defensive stance for a guard I have seen. No wonder he gets blown by with ease. How the **** has no one taught him how to play D?

[Solefade]

Only things I don't like about Harden is that he always plays for the whistle and his lack of defense is disgusting

Fake ref created offensive stats.

The stance is called "not giving a fvck". Doesn't even pretend to try.

Harden is like Kobe, chuckin and brickin

LeBron > Kobrick and Harden

his defense is putrid but anybody hating on his offense prowess is obviously a butt hurt kobe stan or dwade nut rider.

[CelticBaller]

we need mettaworld peace to knock him out

Being able to score a lot of points by doing a lot of iso does not = impact. The team has no rhythm because he is an uber ball stopper. Yeah he gets his points but he stagnates their TEAM offense and they're inconsistent because of it.

Go to scorers are also supposed to be capable and willing playmakers. See: Dirk, Lebron, Duncan, Paul, Durant etc.


James Charmin is not an elite offensive player. He's a volume scorer.

[Beastmode88]

how many times does this guy randomly fall over. :facepalm

[Haks]

most overrated *** in the league

[RIP CITY]

I wouldn't go so far as to call his game a gimmick but he's really not all that special. He's a really good player but if you can keep him off the FT line he's not super impressive. Definitely not a superstar, definitely overrated but he's still a pretty damn good offensive player. Horrendous defender though. Overall he's one of the better SG's in the League but the position is pretty weak at the moment.

Honestly I think Harden is a top 10 nba talent, might not be coached exactly the right way.

I'm unable to watch the current game but if the box score can tell a story what I see is DHoward with a ton of shots, especially early when he was hot. And I also see 2-14 for the team from 3-pt range, and I see Parsons with a 4-14 clip, Lin 1-5 (0-3 from 3) -- all the outside shooters are out of rhythm it seems.

Sure Harden choked in the finals a few years ago and he's had some bad playoff games since. But the story tonight seems to me that there is a power struggle, the offense changed and the shooters lost their rhythm. That spells end of the series for Houston.

Harden is like 4 for 20, doesn't play any defense, makes 1 layup in the 4th, yet some how, some way people still putting all the blame on Dwight :facepalm

well i mean he shot 46 percent this year ( not great but far from bad)..averaged 6 assists and averaged 25 ppg...ummm but i guess he is just a volume scorer.smh

glass jaw under that beard

Well, that's pretty much his whole game.

Not all the blame.

But seriously, put a superstar center alongside the rest of this Houston Rockets team and see what happens. I guarantee you it's not 2 home losses to the 5 seed in the first round.

Dwight Howard is not a superstar. He's a borderline superstar. He's a Larry Johnson, a Tim Hardaway, a Tom Chambers, a James Worthy, etcetc

And he's a drama queen and a chemistry project for any team. I'm sorry but he's proven that to be true in 3 places now.

Your a fvcking idiot....dumb@ss mutha fvcker

[S13M]

Harden in the playoffs as a Rocket: 37.1% shooting, 31% from 3, but at least he gets to the line 10.9 times per game. He's shooting like prime Ricky Rubio.

[Trollsmasher]

Another monster game on the way

11 points on 13 shots so far

[Trollsmasher]

37/9/6 on 13-35 shooting:applause:

Luckily for him, Lin saved his ass

[ImKobe]

He's the Rick Ross of the NBA
