How about if I say lebron has only made 1 deep run in the last 4 seasons. Then you will agree with the wording.


1 deep run? He won a title lol. I'm sure Jim would trade all the 2nd round success for one bubba

FIFY his luck seems to run out in the 2nd round often, but he's great in the opening round of the playoffs when his team is favored

KD missed the playoffs in there that you skipped over. We are talking every season. No seasons off.

Oh and he went home in rd 1 This year.

With harden, 4-1 over Celtics
No harden, swept by Celtics

Is this real life where you compare 2 different teams in 2 different years then say the only difference is Harden?

Harden never had a teammate like that. If he did, multiple rings



So he wasn't playing with prime Durant and prime Westbrook in OKC?

Durant averaged 31 in the finals that season.

I mean this is kind of a hilariously bad take among an ocean of bad takes

BKN had no playmaking, no easy shots. KD and Kyrie, when they both play, are a sub 500 team over the last two season when harden don’t play. Nothing special about them.

No. They were kids. Certainly not in their prime.
Durant was 22 and led the team through a West with Duncan Dirk and Kobe still in the league.

You are really going overboard here. You are saying harden would have led them to a 4-1 series win over Boston ????




They gonna go down 3-0 tonight. But it won’t be because of Maxey or Embid….

These are the kinda posters we have around here. Calling 22 year old KD and Russ their prime.

The best years for KD were from 2010-2015 and his absolute best season was 2015 when he was 25. Not sure how you wouldn't consider his time in that 5 period his prime when you consider all those advanced stats you love

Being in the league for 4-5 years is about when players hit their prime on average.

I didn’t include it because he was out with an injury. This year isn’t last year, both teams are different so just another deflection leading to a bogus point. What’s Harden doing right now, 0-2 about to be 0-3 putting up garbage performances yet again. Boston on the other hand still has a chance despite playing against a better team. Two can play at this game buddy.

Bubba I said harden gets into the second round every season for the last 6 and you countered with Durant who hasn’t been to the second round 2 of the last 3 years. you can’t make this stuff up

Every year means every year. Not one year off. Definitely not two years off.
