Wetin Lakers do Clippers

Bullying Lakers for like how many games in a row now.

Chai cheesy cheesy

Meanwhile I just looked at Miami heats and I feel like they could come surprisingly snatch this NBA trophy. If the likes of Jimmy, Lowry,tucker,morris, oladipo returns they will be a serious problem
Same with a complete healthy nets

It all boils down to being healthy and available.

What I don't see happening is bucks getting a back to back. Lakers are not going anywhere either

This complete bullshit and media propaganda

Harden definitely doesn't Choke in the playoffs. A bad game or two doesn't make someone choke
And besides his supporting cast in those playoffs were weak not to even talk about the strength of his opposition against him alone. If cp3 was available harden would have won a chip

Harden was loyal to Houston and made them reach a position where they shouldn't have reached he was the backbone of that team year in year out for years and then when he realized the team wasn't importing he decided to leave and wanted to go to Philadelphia but the rockets didn't want that and then they made business with the nets. Lots of people complained about harden yet he carried the nets and wasn't selfish to be the third man and despite that he was still dropping reasonable numbers and triple doubles.

Last year despite the hamstring harden still tried his best and was available whereas Kyrie was unavailable. Nets were so close to beating bucks and would have likely gotten a ring if they had won that series

I don't even understand why everyone likes to shiit on harden both with lies and half baked truths.


Harden is na awesome player and the most unique offensive player in NBA. A healthy harden and embiid will take on any team. Leaving an unmotivated nets was the best choice. Harden and embiid both want to get a ring badly unlike kyrie and durant... Besides a harden/embiid ring is more credible than harden/Durant/kryrie

Honestly that narratives is overplayed

Everywhere I go keep seeing this same thing as if harden is the only one who's had a bad game in the playoffs

When you check his playoffs you will realise that him being a choker is heavily overrated

I just don't get the hate towards harden

Is it his fault that he lacks support and most teams double him especially during playoffs

If cp3 was healthy this harden being a choker talk would have never come up. If harden and Kyrie were healthy last season him being a choker would be a ring of the past

Harden just needs a ring so he finally gets the respect he deserves.

Harden I phenomenal and special. He tormented the league in the era of the great Holden state

You know very well its not even fair to judge harden with his OKC days

The real harden is exceptional. Real harden done hit almost 37 ppg. The real harden na former MVP and has been even robbed of the award. Assist machine and also surprisingly a good rebounder

Once harden gets a ring with this sixers all this talk will be a thing of the past

Harden is a unique talents. No one ever talks about Curry's shortcomings or even Durant's etc

Wetin harden do NBA fans I know just know. Imagine saying the real harden and disputing his greatness. Prime harden na monster I so much enjoyed his game he was a joy to watch

I just randomly screenshoted this I didn't even know it would one day come in handy.

If you want to argue further we can breakdown his numerous chokejobs and playoff underperformances

Re: The NBA Begins by BlueMann: 4:34am On Mar 05, 2022
These my Bulls don tire me Olohun. What kind of 'top team' cannot beat a single fellow top team? Once we meet any title contender, na to collect for their hand. Even teams below us still get the odd win against these elites, but we go just roll over like obedient dogs.

Just because Caruso and Ball and Williams are absent.

Abeg I no fit waste my sleep again.

Except the narratives change,Harden stats in the playoffs are there for all to see, that's why he's never been taken serious especially when it matters most in the playoffs...

Even @birdman will not support you on this

Well harden has just been quite unfortunate in the playoffs

But make no mistake of his greatness


See Houston rocket is bottom in the NBA today. Same Houston that was a serious team just two years ago or so

Despite the sharp new boys dey got from trading harden the team is still horrible

Harden made Houston a legit contender and was always willing to play and give them his all

Sadly come playoff teams will double or even triple on him if possible up. Rockets horrible defence and horrible offence can't save them.

No NBA champion today would have won a ring with the mediocre support harden had.
LeBron, Durant and curry would have either crumbled or ran to another team

Rockets failed harden.
Re: The NBA Begins by Tellwhat: 2:00pm On Mar 05, 2022
Harden can be likened to Bradley Beal and darmian Lillard and yet this two elite players are not on hardens level and can't elevate their team to the level harden carried rockets
Re: The NBA Begins by Tellwhat: 2:04pm On Mar 05, 2022
It's so unfortunate injury to harden and Kyrie messed their chances last season

Let's not forget harden was also in th MVP race before the injury and carried the nets when Kyrie and Durant were usually absent


Hardens true chances are when he played with cp3, last season with the nets and now he's with a legit team this is hardens legit chance. If harden underperforms this season then I will agree he's truly a choker. Other seasons are just overhyped. Harden tortured NBA teams and I think that's why most people don't like him especially with his foul calls

Go look Houston Rockets now..since they lost harden they're the worst team in NBA today

not really. we just decided to sit the vets and let the rookies play. we are already eyeing who we will select in next years draft. We didnt get equal value obviously because he left in a classless manner. But we will be fine. But hey, he is now in philly and can visit his favority dream strip club without having to travel!

They are like the Raptors before Kawhi joined. Guess who was the star of both teams.

They need a superstar offensive player.

cheesy cheesy cheesy. In all honesty..Bro you're not being fair to harden

I'm still shocked whenever I see any Houston fan criticizing Harden. Maybe they want the poor boy to continue carrying the team and be chopping criticims for being a choker when teams triple guard him and his mediocre teammates can't step up

I was a Houston fan while harden was playing with them but the moment he left I knew that team was dead and I didn't even bother to follow them anymore...in the NBA many teams can atleast survive without their star player but not Houston coupled with horrible management

Harden left at the right time. You expect him to stay just because of John wallhuh Really bro?

After giving Houston his prime and making them seem like a top team. Houston wasn't improving and the team wasn't properly managed. Harden knew that it was time to move on

I hope you know Houston is the worse team in NBA today

Yea he's putting up nice stats. That speaks to his greatness. But he's 37. He can't carry a team at this age. AD being out and Westbrook being trash certainly didn't help.

Now this is pure cap, Continue carrying the team after playing with 3/4 first team ballot hof's? Who sent him to always ball-hog and Jack up unnecessary 3's even when teammates where open, wetin cause Harden fight with Howard in Houston? You had an elite big man but failed in getting him more involved in the game.

You say he gave up his prime and made them seem like a contender, harden should be grateful to the rockets franchise for even taking a chance on him, person wey be 6th man but they brought him and built solid pieces around him.. And alaye lest you forget houston still have 2 rings in their cabinet.

And please what did you expect from a team that the 2 best players leave? Russ left.. care to know why he pushed to leave? Capela left a little earlier, then harden "forced" his way out in the most unprofessional way ever... so what do you expect from a tanking team, to be fighting for a play off spot??

Now he's got beef with KD too forcing his way outta the nets again.... playoffs don close, it's only a matter of time, the best choke job ever go show out again.

Exactly. I was a Houston fan long before Harden. We know what rules were bent to keep him happy. Skipping practice, showing up late to games not flying with team to road games. Houston's management is the best it has been in years. If we use your yardstick to measure Houston, you would have condemned Grizzlies 3 years ago. You would have condemned Timberwolves 2 years ago. Same with Thunder. Building a franchise takes some pain, and time. Good riddance to bad rubbish. We will be fine.
