2023 offseason thread

I think his first year with the sixers he did it

My friend texted our group chat and said “harden is playing with the enthusiasm of me taking out the garbage on Thursday night”

The most memorable one for me is one of the Houston series against the Spurs. His #'s were a joke in game 6 or game 7

You've changed my mind. Harden is always the innocent bystander when Houston,

Was dog shit before he arrived and like when LeBron left Miami and Cleveland, Brow left NO, those teams fell off when they lost an All NBA player.

and then Brooklyn,

You mean when he said fuck this noise when Kyrie decided to make a political statement about Covid using half of the games in an NBA season?

and now Philly get dragged down.

Are they? This is Embiid’s team. Harden was a tag along.

 

[fightinfunbags]

0 finals and many spectacular flameouts say he can't.

I guess it's not that he can't, he just never has.

He was on one team as more than a third wheel that actually had Finals potential and Chris Paul got hurt.

 

[fightinfunbags]

lol

Nah, he's had too many chances...he doesn't get that excuse.

Wasn't his team up 3-1 when CP got hurt?

Nah, you’re making shit up.

 

[fightinfunbags]

RW can too. He just can't shoot.

Then why couldn’t he find a role with the Lakers if he can still ball? He’s not leading the league in assists now for any contender. He’s not averaging 21 a game for any contender. Right now Harden is way better than the corpse of Russell Westbrook.

 

[fightinfunbags]

I mean Chris Paul getting hurt is why he didn’t beat the best warriors team of the group

Ninjaed. And OKC failure? Are we putting that on a 6th man?

 

[trojanfan12]

He dropped 32 in game 7

The rest of the team bombed out

On how many shots. Wasn't there a 32 on 29 shots in there?

29 shots should be 45-50 points...and his team might have won one of those.

41% which isn't horrible. Without looking at the box score, i think its safe to assume he almost never got to the line that game

lol

If he's so awesome...how come no one wants him?

 

[trojanfan12]

So instead of being aggressive, he just sat on the perimeter jacking up shots.

Wow. I'm convinced now. Harden is super duper awesome.

 

[trojanfan12]

I hope Harden goes to the Clippers.

We Lakers fans have been trying to convert @Mecca for years...

that might finally do it. lol

 

[Stakesarehigh]

wtf bruh

 

[Stakesarehigh]

jimmy going for the Tranny hooker look

 

[DJ Fieri]

jimmy going for the Tranny hooker look

LMAO.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Not sure it’s true but this is exactly the way dude should be thinking.

 

[shopson67]

The verb I responded to was “can’t”. If a player is inconsistent that doesn’t establish can’t. That establishes uneven performance. That’s a whole lot different than can’t. Like Westbrook CAN’T shoot. Harden CAN’T defend.

Russ was .489 from the field last year and .356 from 3 and cost less than $4M.

Harden will tank your team for the low low price of 10x Russ. Then you get the privilege of either overpaying him via extension next summer or repeating Philly's struggles this summer trying to trade him.

Yep...those were his numbers with the Clipps though.
