Analytically speaking

Harden with another trash playoff game.

4/11 from field.

1/7 from 3.

7 turnovers.

And his team won. Find me a game where LBJ or Durant played that bad and their team won in the postseason by 20.

Tonight James Harden was exactly what the Sixers needed when they traded for him.

He was the best player (+27) in a big game when Embiid couldn't be their best player.

Final stats don't show it but he was the No. 1 they needed.


—sixers beat reporter. You didn’t watch did you. I didn’t either. But the guys who cover the team were impressed

So a local reporter not bashing a player that didn't shoot well and turned the ball over too much says he was the best player because of a flawed counting stat.

Yikes. This is where we are.

Lmao he was 4-9 when the game was close and missed two shots after the game was long since decided. 4/11 is how it ended. but go ahead bro. Ts Was 70% when the game was up in the air.

i didn’t watch the game but one thing to note. The passer always gets charged with the turnover. If you throw me a perfect pass and I fumble it out of bounds .. your turnover. That’s the way it is scored.

Another vintage Alfred performance from James Harden. 4 for 11 from the field, 1-7 from 3, couldn’t even get to 18 points and had 7 turnovers.

It’s funny how boom can’t argue that Maxey has been better for them than harden has.

Maxey has Been unlocked by harden. He # since the trade have gone from good role player to stud. Harden is always know for making his teammates better Maxey is exhibit A.

Cp has a losing playoff series record and is 0-2 v harden so we can eliminate him.


Considering how CP3 now is pulling a Benjamin Button and might actually finish his career with a championship if Phoenix pulls it off finally, your take is as cold as ever

Confirmed, Harden is the worst leader in NBA history.

Can't ever get the most and the best out of his Robins.


Argument OVER, I'd respect Boom more if he was more self-aware then again that's what makes this so fun his constant inconsistencies

CP is beating up on a 4 seed and a 9 seed. Harden prob never lost to a 4 seed in his career. He lost to bucks (champs). Lakers (champs).warriors (dynasty) in the last 5 years. When he plays a lower seed it’s always a win.

2014 First round... Houston #4 seed lost 4-2 to #5 seed Portland

where he shot a putrid 37.6% from the floor, and 29.6% from 3 (eFG% was good for 8th out of 9 players that played for Houston) and was outplayed in the series by his teammate Dwight Howard

he was also outplayed by LaMarcus Aldridge and Damian Lillard in the series...

You will say anything. No matter how stupid like bball ref doesn’t exist.

Beginning hardens first game (v Minnesota) 18.7 ppg .523/.480/.852

Before 16.9 ppg .469/.390/.871

It turns out guys shoot better when they are wide open and when the defense is geared up to stop someone else.

More points and more efficient.

Seriously wtf is with all the cherry picking? If he had a good game you wouldn't need to quantify anything about it.
