James harden be like





Spot on to a T...Even when he dropped the ball down low.

The only thing it was missing was that it needed a few head snaps.

So accurate because his euro step is really that slow

Like his game is so slow unathletic. Like every 6'5 guard should believe they can do everything harden can do aside from the shooting. The flopping, The free throws, The head snaps.

Beverley missed too many games this year for me to consider the the sample reflective of his true value...but at the end of the day he is a much better option then Prigioni defensively and he shoots the three ball at the same percentage

1. I'm not arguing as to whether or not he's a better defensive option. He clearly is. I'm saying he's not that good of a defender top make a much of a difference.

2. He played the same amount of games as the year before when he was second team all defense which he deserved. So if that amount is enough to say someone is a great defensive player why is it not enough to say someone was/is an average defender?

3. This is defense not shooting percentage. You want to argue that someone is a better shooter than their sample size indicates then I can completely understand. But injury aside judging defense is different.

It seems like we'll agree to disagree on this one. At the end of the day you seem to be higher on a Rocket's ability than i am and i can't be mad at that. :yeshrug:

A deep team is needed to win 67 games I know that. What you saw tonight was Kerr using that depth because he could. Curry is the type of player you can send off the ball if you have a backup the caliber of Livingston.

We won't know this for sure but if Livingston didn't play, Curry would log heavier minutes and put up more points dominating the ball. That production could be replaced with more Curry. Houston had no answer for him and they won't have an answer the rest of the series.
There's a difference between that and what you initially said -
The Warriors were coming back whether Livingston dropped 16 or 0

He been holdin it down all season long..

You nikkas just been infatuated with Light Bright jacking up three pointers all season instead
nikka stop it :stopitslime:. My hate for harden has nothing to do with anyone else. The nikka plays like a bytch most of the time. All the flopping & flailing, that shyt is weak. But in the 4th tonight, he bossed up & was hitting some cold blooded shots so I have to respect that

Lol..Howard missing half the game doesn't constitute "best shot "... y'all in for a rough ride

Warriors shat on the rockets in Houston in January with Dwight having a 23-10 game. They've also shytted on them with Haren having a huge game. Rockets need both of these cowards to have huge games to win

Ive watched the Rockets all year, and this game wasn't close to their best effort...

The series hinges on Howards health... GS played how they normally do, but Houston can be better.
I'm saying we can't play any worse than we did in the first quarter regardless of what Houston does.

Harden was the best player on the floor in the 4th. He hit Josh Smith with a dime for a wide open layup to tie late and Smith fumbled it out of bounds.

He tried real hard but his team let him down :to:

The same team that rallied to beat the Clips folded tonight and Harden will have to take the blame because that's what we do to stars in the league :yeshrug:
It's not fair but all that's recognized is the win.

That was my point. Whether Livingston put up 16 or 0 in the first half the Warriors were always coming back. Livingston just came on and gave them quality minutes to where it didnt require a crazy effort from Curry.The rallies they put together against NO and Memphis were all Steph driven

And what about the two games they lost against Memphis when he didn't play up to his usual standard and there wasn't a role player to make up the difference -

Like I said you can't automatically assume they would've won this game without Livingston's contribution and assume Curry will always peg back the margin or anybody else for that matter.
