Rockets: James Harden is the best SG in the West, and arguably, the league.

We're talking about the season up until this point, you dumb . Playoff success, or lack there of, doesn't figure into the equation.

I always leave myself an out

Meh, just a bad game provoked by the fact of being in foul trouble. I'm sure all those step back shots he took down the stretch were in part because he didn't want to risk being called for a charge.

Getting a bit ahead of yourself. He's unarguably one of the best SG in the league right now; but he still makes way too many questionable decisions to be considered THE best. Sucks we had to let him go.

He has been playing like but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on SOME things. He is 23, and he looks like he is really really fatigued and worn out from this season.

That being said I can't forgive the last 3 isos. Don't know if thats on Mchale or him. Got to stop though.

Thats actually very true, I forgot he picked up his 5th foul over a flop.

James Harden is complete crap against everybody but the Spurs especially in crunch time.

Yeah. He's not going to the eurostep like early in the season. He's not right.

James Harden is another one of these polarizing players..is it just me or is the league filled with them now? Maybe it's because of all the message boards, various media outlets, twitter and that we hyper analyze these players or if its just generally that we have a crop of really polarizing players

I think it's the former. Remember the Bad Boys in Detroit?

8-28 in game 1

6-19 in game 2

In his prime and still not better than no knees Wade and Achilles.

Straight up trash on both ends.

Between his "Choke Paul = greatest closer since Jordan" take and his "James Harden = best SG in the league" take, this has not been a good postseason for Mid so far....
