look at his **** game log bro.

this is what he is. he just gets to the line better then anyone in the league so his ts% is still great.

Howard has owned the defensive paint all night long. He looks great defensively.

LOLOL Meeks just dunked on Harden? Seriously?!

Harden's over-reliance on getting to the line will kill him in half-court sets during the playoffs. He needs to drive to score, not drive to draw the foul.

Yeah, Harden was bad tonight.

8-25 FG and 4-13 from outside

Until Harden can play even semi-decent defense, he won't be a superstar.

Lin sucked at the end BUT was misused.

Little preview of Harden's no-ups, shoot-too-much, not-a-very-good-shooter playoff disappointments.

I dont care about his game log...yall are lobbing the same exact criticisms Melo received early in his career, and look at him now. Melo used to shoot horribly his first couple years but was still as impactful of a player he could be. Harden is a great, elite player, and will only get better. We dont have to worry about "upside" and "potential" with him...he IS a superstar, point blank. The only question is how great will he be.

Lin and Harden both struggled shooting. But Lin had an okay game facilitating.

This hasn't reached 100 pages yet, but it would be cool if someone could create an Official Around the NBA playoff version for all the games outside of the Knicks.

Melo was a much better scorer, IMO, in that he didn't rely on the whistle, but actually drove the ball to score. Harden gets bailed out a lot, but as you can see in playoff like games where the game slows down and defenses get more stingy, he's not going to get the benefit of the doubt nearly as much. Thus, all of those no-calls when he barreled towards the rim.

Shouldn't have been benched so long imo, especially when Houston's offense was completely bogged down.

Bravery · Post #1234 » by **Bravery** » Thu Apr 18, 2013 5:20 am

A lot of Houston's possessions late in the 4th and during OT was just awful to begin with. The fact they made it to OT is a miracle.. literally.

Meeks posterizes Harden lol.

Tron Carter · Post #1236 » by **Tron Carter** » Thu Apr 18, 2013 5:22 am

lol at even putting harden in the same breath as melo offensively.

no.. just.. no

Harden is not a superstar.

And he's selfish. Where's his passing?

Lol at Van Gundy. Carlos Delfino, it's your life! :lol:

Both struggled shooting and Lin did a decent facilitating job. Perhaps they should have done something with that?
