what 100 game sample lol playoff and regular season basketball are so different

what matters is being able to beat other playoff-caliber teams when your season is on the line

and the only reason im saying that d wade can lead a great team to a title and harden cant is because d wade proved it and harden hasn't

wade took that heat team to a chip at age 24, when harden was 24 he got first rounded by the blazers

it doesn’t matter which the rockets were better either way. you can say that but it takes you ignoring the context. I’m not at all more impressed by a title run vs weaker teams than a 7 game L vs the best team ever. that’s just how I see it.

I’m comparing the numbers and the argument y’all should be making is wade played better in the playoffs, not wade led a team to a ring. the truth is wade in 06 played better than harden did in any playoffs, I’ll give y’all that. wade in those 2 titles with bron was not as good as harden in the playoffs though.

I take it all back, mvp was better off just posting 3 word repeated responses. Him trying to show off his "basketball knowledge" is far more embarassing/cringe 😂😂😂😂

Dude trying to use 1 year where CHRIS PAUL had the rockets poised to beat the warriors and Harden s*** the bed 2 straight elimination games after Paul sat out injured as his whole argument

Ignoring years where harden (without paul) got embarrassed by a weak spurs team without Duncan or Kawhi, literally got ran out of the building by geezers Ginobli and Parker

Not to mention losing to pre allstar dame Lillard and the blazers lololol

Washed Dwight Howard who refused to run a pick and roll. 1 good year of CP3 out of the 2 years he was there and he ended up injured at the most crucial time and finally prime Westbrick just look at how much he's stinking it up in DC.

And don't even get me started on the bench/role players. Harden made those guys. Other than Trezz & Lou Will, none of those guys has ever looked as good as when they were playing with James. Look at how much PJ Tucker, Ben McLemore and Danuel House are trash this year and those were the rest of Houston's starting lineup that was somehow still contending with the negative asset that is Westbrick

In terms of performances yes, in term of actual talent, not even close. Harden is the one that made bums like Gerald Green, Austin Rivers, Ryan Anderson and Nene look like good contributors.

What's Austin Rivers up to these days with the Knicks huh?

05-06 Miami s***s on that team depth

bruh they also had CP3, who was better than shaq was with miami, plus Gordon, Capela, Ariza, useful role players.

CP3 played 58 games out of 82 and blew his knee at the most crucial time. Shaq played the same amount of games, but at least when D Wade needed him, he didn't crumble

Ariza has done nothing since leaving Harden, D'Antoni and Harden optimised what was left of him just like PJ Tucker. Look at how trash he is this year.

that’s just bad luck, cp3 isn’t even injury prone. didnt shaq average like 12 a game in the 06 finals

as for ariza he was also a useful player before harden. he’s no good nowadays because he’s 35 and guys decline with age

Wade couldn't do what Harden did last night with these scrubs

man shut up fr

Wade a 3x nba champ did u see what he did in 06? Harden could never

We understand

but why did he shrank many times in the playoffs when his team needed em

Selection bias.

He's come through plenty of times. People only remember the low moments though, which everyone has.

I'm not even against bro

If it wasn't for the warriors in 2018, I even thought they would beat bron in the finals

But other times when it mattered more they seemed to fail miserably

They doin the comparisons here, i wouldn't even compare em with Wade

I'm simply saying that people never mention stuff like Game 6 vs San Antonio, Game 7 vs the Clippers, etc. moments where he's come through.

He's not really someone who NEVER comes through in the playoffs like some people try to say.

Them niggas was not finna beat the Cavs lol

damn op off it today

james harden been on more stacked teams than anybody outside of maybe KD

OP doesn’t get that harden is a regular season legend & a playoff scrub

Harden wasn’t playing with straight up bums his entire stint in Houston. If he wins this year, god bless Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. The same thing people tore LeBron apart for a decade plus and is the root of his hate, “super teams” other stars get a pass for such as KD, Kyrie, Harden, PG, Kawhi etc. James Harden would have never ever won as a first option, even he knows this. S*** he may still end up ringless when it’s said and done.
