CP3 makes up for a lot of Harden's shortcomings and Harden makes up for a lot of CP3's.
The Warriors went 16-1 last postseason even when facing a fully healthy Cavs team led by LeBron and Kyrie so let's not discredit the boys in Houston. Even still these moments are rare, true greatness takes advantage of these chances as Wade showed in 06.
He had some terrible gms and could've played better. Love em' cause even on a bad game he can intrinsically effect a game
He needs a star wing, phuck, he needs another top
105 player to compete with the Warriors
Celtic's with a healthy Kyrie/Hayward might be competitive with Warriors but right now that's it. Rockets could have won this series but they may never get that opportunity back. I hate that people are going to act like this series wasn't competitive but it is what it is

I'm still pulling for LBJ to win and stay in Cleveland, whilst TT stinks up the joint, leading the Cavs to trade for Hassan. That's my sole hope left for this season.

Haha, you've been a good sport, Bishop. I've been busting his balls all night on your behalf. All in good fun though.
Harden is probably my least favorite player in the L. Ain't nobody changing that opinion, cuz I know he ain't changing his game. I'll let you love him though, you're not the only one.
Too bad CP3 went down though. Hate injuries clouding the outcome. That's sports though,
and possibly a CP3 curse of some kind.
Its the banana boat curse LBJ bestowed upon CP/Melo but not Wade, Wade was immune to such virus due to his goatly run in 06' that James didnt recognize.

When people watch Harden they want to see him pull a LeBron when that just isn't who he is. He's a tremendous talent but he has his limitations. IDK man. People look at this and say if LeBron had a 3-2 lead he'd be able to will his team to a single win and they're right but again they'll disregard the fact that with Kyrie and Love fully healthy they were lucky to get even one win last year. Sucks but this is the story of Harden and CP3's life.

Westbrook lost to the freaking Utah Jazz but he'll get less **** than Harden and CP3. Whatever. Don't even care.

You can hate the game but he'll be byke. He was big part of his team taking the Warriors to 7 and 2 WCF appearrances. You don't get the #1 seed and historic #'s without him
As the famous Historian Marlon Sheffield once said
He's gonna get a ton of hate Bish and I understand it but people are just gonna disregard the fact that Bron and Kyrie could barely take 1 game from them last year. They'll sit here and say that Harden has the better supporting cast even though looking at the rosters objectively that isn't true they just do a better job maximizing what they have.
IDK, narratives die hard.
Harden should not take the blame for this. He is the engine that makes the machine go and the reason they go 7.
