Re: James Harden is a joke.
He didn't play well in Game 4.
But he's still better than Kobe though.
Re: James Harden is a joke.
I'm starting to dislike that bearded clown. His go to move is so predictable in crunch time, and most of his turnovers are unforced.
But yeah he's SLIGHTLY better than Kobe at this point in their careers.
Re: James Harden is a joke.
Agree. I hate his style of play. Total black hole, and doesn't even convert like Melo.
I saw this in the game thread:
"James Harden is 28-77 (36.3%fg) from the field, 4-25 from 3 (16%3pt; taking 6 3's a game); has not made a mid-range shot, (0-10); and has 20 turnovers overall."
That's 2 big-time chokes in the playoffs in a row.. he's catching up with lebron.

Re: James Harden is a joke.
I agree he's definitely better than Kobe, but the dude is still very overrated. I didn't understand the hype about him last year. Sure, he's a solid player you'd like to have on your team. He's clearly not the "get him first, ask questions later" caliber player Houston thought he was. But then again, they signed Jeremy Lin to an untradable contract. So that tells you somethin right there.
Honestly, this team is stuck in mediocrity for the next few years. Can't see them making any sort of leap given Harden's salary and their commitments to average or worse players like Lin and Asik.

No he's not. Kobe is always running through your mind doesn't he?

I think so too.
Re: James Harden is a joke.
It was only a matter of time before the shiny glimmer of Harden wore off and people saw him for the pathetic choking flopping piece of sh** that he is. The fact anyone paid him 80 million to be a glorified Monta Ellis is beyond me. Then again, even Monta has more moves.
Re: James Harden is a joke.
Thought I should post this again:
[QUOTE=Legends66NBA7]James Harden is 28-77 (36.3%fg) from the field, 4-25 from 3 (16%3pt; taking 6 3's a game); has not made a mid-range shot, (0-10); and has 20 turnovers overall (granted, 2 of those games he only had 2 turnovers).
Some of those shots he was taking at end of the 4th were so cringe worthy.[/QUOTE]
Awful shot selection, predictable moves, bad defense, and a turnover machine. He's not even that much better of a player this season from last season, IMO. He's only taking more shots and play calls run for him.
Re: James Harden is a joke.
it's what happens when your whole game is predicated on getting favorable calls from the refs

Re: James Harden is a joke.
The ****? he ain't even better than Kobe, his only moves are ISO pullup or flop layup, if he's not getting the whistle than he's shit, his #s are also inflated as ****, most overrated player ever.
Re: James Harden is a joke.
This ***** travels more than LeBron.

This. He may be my least favorite player to watch, even including guys I consider genuinely bad people who are selfish and destructive cancers. Free throws and threes, free throws and threes. And the way he plays, all the 3s seem like bad shots, and all the free throws seem unearned. That's not really the case, he does make his team better in fact. I just really hate watching him.
The way he gets fouled, it always looks like he isn't even trying to make the shot. He's just like, "ok, I got my whistle, time to totally disconnect my attention until I get the ball on offense again."
His playmaking is overrated, too. He's a real good player, but he sort of has Gilbert Arenas disease that makes even basic swing passes difficult to catch.
