Oh this is a classic Boom response to everyone else.

"This is a what have you done for me lately league"

And lately, he's FAR from his 2014-2015 defense.

Not like this. Look, I think I would know. Being a fan of the Rockets I know exactly when it all started.



Apparently not.

The viral video I'm talking about came out in April of 2014, dipshit.

In fact, you posted the exact video I'm talking about in your second link.



Way to prove my point.



From April of 2014, when that 11 minute lowlight video came out and went viral, it's been cool to constantly rag on Harden's defense.

Before then, he was just another "meh" defensive player. Now, every little mistake is pointed out and criticized, unlike with other players.

So my point that Harden has been dogged for his defense for years was correct. Thanks. Glad you agree.

The first post of mine that you responded to said:

quote:

Before that viral video came out highlight (or lowlighting) Harden's defense, nobody paid much attention to Harden on that side of the ball.

Then all-of-a-sudden, it's now become cool to hate and make little vine videos of every single lapse he has on defense.


Then you reply:

quote:

Dude Harden has been slammed for his defense for years.


Apparently you disagreed with me that he started getting slammed with that viral video that came out and it happened "for years" before that.

You clearly were not in agreement with what I said.


But now you change the story to save face and say:

quote:

Can't admit that you were wrong. I wasn't expecting you to man up anyway.

Now explain the plethora of articles written about his defense prior to April 2014.

You can find random videos for all players. But it didn't really get big until that video came out.

Just look at the google trends:

Before October of 2013 (when he joined the Rockets), there was nothing. It exploded after April 2014:

You continue to be wrong.

Houston will have an interesting offseason Alexander is a pretty good owner and will make necessary changes.

You might want to learn how to read graphs.

The explosion began in November of 2013. It's right there in your ink

No, there was a little uptick when he joined the Rockets in late October of 2013.

But the real explosion didn't happen until April 2014.

Ever since he joined the Rockets, then it really exploded after that video.

I have clear eyes here. As a Rockets fan, this has been talked about a lot. We all remember when this started. Ask any Rockets fan here and I'm sure they can tell you.

Yes. The 5 seconds it took to copy them out of another thread on here is time I will never get back. The horror

I guess you can't be man enough to admit that you were wrong. It's ok, not really expected from Rockets fans around here.

You really want to argue that going from a 0 to a 40 score between october 13 and november 13 is not an "explosion"? You are embarrassing yourself here bro.

when its in favor of you making your team look better than SAS, use it.

When its not in favor of the players on your team, don't use it.
