    Are you serious? If we have Harden then I doubt we even need more than 5 games to beat the Lakers.

    the cavs are better than the rockets with 3 legit maybe all star talents along with harden and they still had to go 7 games with the raptors. His plus minus average during the series was 4.3. His net rating all time with the cavs is 4.8. Hell, his net rating with the clippers last year with him on was .4

    It is hilarious people are discrediting Harden by calling Jarett Allen and Evan Mobley all-star talents averaging 15/8/2 and 18/9/4. I get you guys hate Harden, but at least don't call guys averaging similar numbers to Jabari and Amen to be "legit maybe all stars." Cause even on a Rockets board with us homers, no one is thinking Jabari and Amen are all-star worthy in any way shape or form.

    Harden wasn’t “awful” in game 7…he was nowhere close

    y’all be saying anything on here as if people didn’t actually watch the game…

    they literally have been all stars lol and mobley has won a DPOY; not sure what this has to do with amen or jabari. The guy had 13 FTs attempts to get his 18 pts yesterday; allen saved his ass.

    The guys is legit known to be awful in game 6's: https://kingjamesgospel.com/james-harden-playoffs-curse-full-display-cleveland-cavaliers-news

    not to mention you totally sidestepped my net rating point I had lol

    Harden in the 1st round against the Raptors, who were the 5th ranked defense this season and a better team than the injured Lakers and their 20th ranked defense

    21, 5, and 6 on 45/38/83 splits and 62% TS

    that’s a better showing than any Rockets player had against the Lakers carcass of a team

    How come Sengun can’t match a 36 y/o Harden when one is being defended by Scottie Barnes and the other is being defended by Deandre Ayton?

    [McMahon and Shelbourne] Harden’s representatives gauged the Rockets’ interest in him following the LA Clippers’ 6-21 start…Once again, though, the Rockets decided against it, despite the team's void at point guard.

    Cavs in the 1st round

    +4.8 net rating with Harden on the court

    -8.8 with him off

    Mitchell: -0.7 with him on, +3.7 with him off

    Mobley: -6.2 with him on, +16.3 with him off

    Cavs were literally a bottom tier team when Harden left the court

    Mobley was a disaster this entire series and single handedly cost them game 6. The Raptors have a top defense with a lot of tall lengthy athletic defenders. It's not a shock that Mitchell was not his usual self this series. Your seriously underestimating how good The Raptors defense is. To act like Harden is bad this series is stupid.

    that makes zero sense, but ok

    Harden made both of them play like garbage? Is that the angle?

    Would this be the Allen we didn't keep in the trade 5 years ago?

    22 pts, 19 reb, and 3 blocks isn't impressive any more?

    my dude, all those tweets are irrelevant

    you said he was awful in game 7, as in he played awful last night…no, he didn’t…we watched the game

    awful is what RJ Barrett did in game 7

    What? The Cavs had a positive rating with Harden on the court, one of the best on the team, and negative with him off. The Cavs were barely neutral in Mitchell’s minutes, and terrible with Mobley on the court.

    Wtf are you talking about?

    You do realise we can actually read the numbers of the people you're calling star-level talent right? You don't get to just straight up bullshit and expect us to swallow it. Mobley is not a star level player, he's a 3/4 option level player, hence averaging 18pts. Just because y'all want to pretend Amen is a star with those kind of mediocre numbers, doesn't ACTUALLY make it true, otherwise there's like 60-80 all-star level players in the league right now. For reference, Mobley is ranking 61 in ppg for the regular season, that's an all-star now is it? Do better.
