So what, I know what I know. You should know that D’Antoni unleashed him. On second thought, he might have ended up a better SG had he never been straddled with that burden. Either way, I bet he would have choked as per usual.
He was a superstar before Mike got to Houston. Mike enhanced his numbers for sure, but he would of averaged 30+ in his prime regardless. Dude was playing like a MVP (thought he deserved it over Steph), before Mike.
You ain't lying, when Ariza was his best scorer with 13 ppg (or w/e it was), Terrance Jones was his starting PF Lol, Tarik Black etc. Had the whole team on his back.
Nobody wins alone in basketball. Jokic is the best player in the league by a mile, take away his guys and he’s not winning anything
Yea but the difference is that Jokic probably wouldn't be the reason why they've lost. Harden came up short and was blamed 95% of the time (starting from the Portland series). His style, just didn't translate into the playoffs. Not counting the finals with Okc, got lotta blame on that one as well, even though he was the 3rd option (kinda like Harrison Barnes)
The most criticism he gets is for the game 7 in 2018. He was by myself going against the best team in history, who started 5 HOF. Not to mention, NOBODY was beating scott foster that game, it was probably a top 5 playoff performance ever, foster was that dominant
You can slice it however you want to, the fact is he wasn't good in the playoffs. He'll sh** the bed every time. Even with Philly that game 6 (or 7) vs Boston (can't remember), he disappeared, its the same thing with him.
He won 2 games by myself against boston, and was playing that series alone. Can’t win alone, just is what it is. Took the greatest basketball team ever built to 7 games, something lebron couldn’t do, something nobody could do. You can hate on him, but you can’t change reality
I’ve been the one guy defending Green when he’s sucked this year, but as much as he’s impressed me….not sure he’s that much better than this year’s version of Harden.
I don't hate him at all, but the reality is that he sucked in the playoffs. Yea the first year with CP, he can't get blamed for that, we were up 3-2 and CP got hurt, plus that Looney scrub was dominating Capela (or was the year after, I think it was in the 7 game series), but every other time he choked, played like trash or disappeared when it mattered.
