A difference in what? I'm solely talking about the Spurs bench unit, a bench unit that doesn't have a single playmaker on it, yet they are able to produce some of the best offense of any unit on the entire NBA. How do they do that? By running actual sets and moving the ball around, instead of having one guy going iso while the other 4 watch.

A difference in some of the starting unit not being forced to play nearly the entire game :lol

Pretty sure the Rockets can afford it and not rely on 50 cent playoff ticket sales.

Financially, sure. Any NBA team can afford what they pay, that's why they're on bussiness. Sports wise? It will be pretty damn hard to stay competitive with an ex player eating up 40 millions of cap space.

Again, a coaching problem. Either way, a starter sharing minutes with the bench doesn't change the fact that the Rockets would be better off playing a good offensive system instead of relying solely on Harden's one on one.

I'm not. By MVP definition, there is no single player more valuable for his team than Harden. But Giannis clicks all boxes for MVP. ( best record, All-star level production)

Giannis should win the MVP because typically the spirit of the award has always gone to players like Giannis.

Harden should win.

Giannis should win.

:lol

Lmao spurfan reaching so hard :lol

Just gonna sit back and watch these clowns. Fat hands with the take of the century and then calf tats swooping in to defend his honor :lol

I mean, DMC had a whole thread about Curry is an overrated chucker and then went back to say that’s not what he meant

When you rely on the whistle during the regular season you will die by the lack of the whistle come playoff time.

Still leads the NBA in PPG without free throws this season.

Harden winning MVP again would be a travesty..he deserved it last year, but it was moreso by default due to lack of other candidates..

If he wins it this year, it wouldn't be any different than Russ's MVP, shameless stat-padding..

1. Giannis
2. Jokic
3. Harden

Exactly, djohn2oo8 cried all season long about that Westbrook MVP and now he's acting like Thunder fans did that season. :lol

":cry He isn't statpadding, he just has to do it all by himself :cry"

BTW, Rockets better start moving that ball around a bit more or the losses will start to pile on. It's only a matter of time before Harden starts coming back down to Earth from all that extra, unnecessary, work he's putting.

Teams are starting to double him hard, even triple him, and the offense is so lethargic other than him it actually works sometimes.

Ding ding ding. I'm biased, because I hate almost everything about his game other than the passing, but the guy plays one end of the court and is the most ball-dominant player in recent history. With his talent, he'd better be putting up monster stats. Especially since nobody can touch him and he jacks up 15 3s per game.

His run has been impressive, but imo an MVP empowers his teammates and elevates their games. Giannis, Jokic, and Curry fall into that category. Harden is a one-man circus...one that isn't very fun to watch

Shooting 44% from the field :lmao

preach my nigga

Rockets down 19 with a minute left in the 4th, Harden makes a 3 to keep his 30-point streak going:lmao this is Westbrook-level bad..

That was so pathetic tbh. He was firing up stupid meaningless shots just to get his 30 smh...should be an asterisk next to this “statistic” fwiw......

Dude averaged 41 ppg on January while shooting 43% from the field and 35% from 3. Fuck that shit, seriously. :lol

James Harden be like

Because media will forget the circumstances of the stats and only cite the stats, the streak...

He knows this. It's his version of winning. It was an OKC mantra.

I like KD more and more everytime I watch this piece of shit Harden tbh.

God, don't do that.

Can't hate tonight, Harden with arguably the best performance of any player this season..

6 steals and 4 blocks with 42 points and 13 rebounds in a 20-point win on the road..damn..

":cry B...but Harden has to do it all himself :cry"

And one more

35/8/4 what a fucking piece of shit bum.

7-12 FTs from the most prolific FT shooter in the game

Typical choke by Harden.

CP0

What time is the parade for his regular season 30-point streak? That's all he and the Rockets care about, after all.

Series was lost right after Durant went down in game 5 and Harden attempted only 1 shot in the last quarter and a half. The biggest chucker in the league got so shook that only shot it one time after seeing the chance of really winning the series. :lol

Hardens MVP is now on par with the Kobe Blocked Lebron all star game moment.

Houston gets to pay Harden and C3 PO Choke over $75-80MM per season the next few years . That's an awesome cap situation.

Man shut the fuck up, his regular season average was 36/7/7. This scam artist can’t elevate his game when his team needed him most, with the warriors missing their best player. Get the fuck outta here with that shit.

Imagine your GM admitting they’re obsessed with the Warriors, only to get bounced from playoffs by them 4 of the last 5 years. Never mention the bearded clam ever again.

If you watch those forays Steph made to the rim, Harden was right there, just sorta motioned like he was going to go over and defend but didn't. Harden chokes on ways only shown by the opponent's stats. Kobe lovers always point out the scoring though. For someone who scores so many of their points from the FT line, having nights of 4-25 and still having 25 points, that's telling that a guy scamming the system doesn't play defense.

Rockets are a compilation of guys who can take you off the dribble and shoot the 3 at a fair clip. They don't play good team ball, and other than some alley oop passes, their ball movement is lacking. You have Harden, Paul and even Autism Rivers trying to go one on one with 4 other guys standing around. Then they launch the 3.

Like clockwork :lol..

:wakeup

Dubs lottery bound, yet Rockettes still gonna shit the bed :lol

This would be one of my favourite threads tbh

:lol 2-16 from three tonight against the Nets. Frauden needs to give his pity MVP back.

"James Harden scores 60 in just over 30 minutes
Houston's superstar ties Michael Jordan for third all-time with fourth career 60-point performance"

12/1/19


Rockettes going for that November/December championship again :reading

Frauden's stats in tonight's loss to the Spurs:

:lol 35 FGA
:lol 22 free throws

Frauden is a disgrace to the game. He needs to man up, stop flopping and/or chucking on every possession, and pass the ball. And actually play some defense, for that matter.

iirc hes averaging 16ppg from FT alone :lmao

Frauden's teammates probably all secretly hate playing with him. I can't imagine it's fun for them to watch him hog the ball or shoot free throws all game while they barely get to do anything.

Good thing they also have the dunking version of Harden as their other starting guard

Flopping?!
Dude hooks/pins Kawhi's arm then he flops and gets the call its the next level of bullshit and beyond flopping... I get that Josh Hart or even CJ McCollum won't get the offensive foul call but when the current best player and an all time great defender can't get a fair whistle vs Harden no one can it's complete bullshit... But I like Harden minus the hooking he has great handles and is a great slasher but his game is built on an inequity at the FT line that I can't respect and until he is reffed fairly... It's like he gets the Wade vs Mavs Finals treatment all regular season long...

Please. At least "Frauden" plays every night. :lol

Talk about the pot meeting the kettle tbh. Kiwi does the same shit. He takes games off (while his teammates are busting their asses every night). I'm sure he takes off from practice too. I'm willing to bet Somali calls him out sooner or later. :stirpot:

I bet Clipper teammates 2-15 really don't like him or Uncle Fester. :downspin:

Westbrook really shined last night.

:lol Frauden doesn't need load management. He spends 90% of every game either standing around on defense or standing at the free throw line.

need to start making an annual "James Harden gets blocked by *insert Spurs player name here* on a game winner" thread
