Harden catching hell on Sports Talk radio & TV

[Sam Odom]

Like he was solely responsible for gm 7 lost

[jjgold]

He is a loser Sammy

[eidolon]

Houston could have easily won that game. They missed something like 27 3-pointers in a row.

7/44 (15.9%) 3-pointers for the game. For the season they shot 36.2%.

[jjgold]

I never saw such a noncompetitive nba player in my life

he can care less about losing never want him on my team

[Harry N. Lloyd]

It's time to shave the beard.

[lakerboy]

He lost vs 4 hall of fame players

[tony_come]

Jane harden 2017-2018 MVP

[Sam Odom]

He is easy for people ( mostly white ) to hate on

Harden is a real looking Black Man not a cute light skin one like you know who

Black posters know what Sammy is talking about

[packerd_00]

You're the face of the franchise though Sam,gotta expect the criticism as well as the praise.

[cincinnatikid513]

harden needs to step up the defense

Too many political nuts around here twist

[nyplayer33]

He tossed endless 3 pointers that missed....endless

[sourtwist]

Too many political nuts around here twist

I'll pick my spots with that stuff but it's just a few who can't stop

[wikkidinsane]

This shouldnt be all on him. He was going up against the best team of all time without the other star

[19th Hole]

Well deserved.

[Booya711]

I'll pick my spots with that stuff but it's just a few who can't stop

Yeah...I will post every now and then to get a rise out the sandbox

[eidolon]

Ariza going 0-12 wasn't a big factor?

[The Kraken]

Yes but Ariza isnt doesnt have a $230,000,000 contract, Ariza wasnt an MVP, etc...

Witht that said, the better team won. Had CP3 played, who knows. To be able to have CP3 in and Gordon coming off as a 6th wouldve been big

If anyone should be catching shit its K Leonard

[ThaTopMoron]

He lost vs 4 hall of fame players

and the refs in the 3rd Q

[Ratzz]

He is a loser Sammy

i said this guy was a loser when he absolutely demanded a MAX contract.. as a bench player.
OKC GM was about $2M away from the max that he wanted. so Harden wanted $94M i think..
and the GM only had like $92M or something very close.

and Harden turned it down, assuming that he would get that extra $2M, but the guy just didn't have it.
OKC had a young Durant, a young Westbrook, and a young Harden... all future MVP's

and Harden left.

biggest loser move all time. Harden is not a natural leader. Cannot give orders. Cannot pick up the flag and lead charge
into hail bullets. If he just accepts a couple of Million less.. he, and Durant, and Westbrook all have like 3 Rings by now.

They would kill Golden St. with just Curry, Thompson, Iguodala.. etc..

he's emotionally stupid

[JIBBBY]

Ariza going 0-12 wasn't a big factor?

That was a shocker for me.. Ariza use to deliver on the KOBE lead championship Laker teams.. Maybe he hit the wall or something.. Worst game EVER for a season ending game..

[ChiLLx]

Warriors were finished after Game5 if Paul doesn't get injured

[nyplayer33]

Houston had 15 point lead...in 3rd...no excuses

[JIBBBY]

Time to shave the beard... No one fears it anymore

[Bad Tattoo]

Time to shave the beard... No one fears it anymore

DEAR GOD! Keep the beard... Keep the beard!

[titanium777]

Harden is a great player. But he doesn't have a winner mentality and his Defense is a liability.

Feel bad for cp3..

[Goat Milk]

Up 3-2....even if against 4 hall of famers, you're the MVP. You only have to win 1/2 games. It's not like he single handedly had to beat the Warriors 4 times. He just has to win 1 game.

That's a different ball game.

If you say NCAA tournament, due or die, Warriors vs. Cavs right now -- Lebron can win 1 game. I don't care if the Warriors have 4 hall of famers.

If you're talking 1 game, Lebron can win that game. He is an underdog sure, but he has a chance to win.

Lebron has a 0% chance of winning 4 games against the Warriors.

Zero.

So in conclusion, Harden has no excuses....

[Ebumdude]

Does everyone fail to recall that the reason why they shot three’s and so many of them, was due to the simple fact that a foul at the 3pt arc plus the and 1 was taken away from Harden in the 3rd quarter? That alone is enough to take the momentum away from you and realize you won’t get the calls to go your way.

Shooting the 3 ball was purely out of desperation....trying to get the ball to land or trying to draw the foul at the arc. Three fouls were commuted at the arc that went uncalled PLUS the illegal screen that gave Curry 3pts. Fellas, that sounds like a potential 12 missed points right there when Houston only lost by 11.

Did Harden look bad? Sure. Did Harden look like a pussy when Green tried to help him stand up and Harden wouldn’t let him? Sure. Could there have been minor adjustments from DAT instead of shooting the three ball? Sure.

Everyone that says “no excuses”, “no excuses”...I bet half of you didn’t even watch the game and are only commenting based on what Sportscenter showed you.

It it was a game 7. It was a damn good game 7 until the momentum shifted and calls were not being called. That alone will make or break a game.

great post and plays with zero emotion meaning he can care less about winning or losing

sad

[nyplayer33]

I'll tell you what's really sad...the fans who will fill up the stadium and dont hold players responsible like harden. Post game from garden was beyond weird. He just got up and left after he answered the last question. No thank you or anything...lol

[jjgold]

If I was Houston I would trade him right now

I would not want that guy the face of the franchise

Weirdo

Maybe he shouldn't always just be looking to get fouled,that's been his mantra for ages.
