@@gorguisall8691have you seen the game? It tells a different story. They didn’t call none foul on GS. There was a play where Klay Thompson fouled JH on a 3 and they didn’t call it. Like it was bad. If you haven’t I suggest watching the game
I was out LA when he got drafted to them. Dude was strong, could finish in traffic, was great from range, elite first step, great defense. He was the star. People forget that when he was healthy, he was the #1 option on that Clippers team with young Blake
@@houndawgbecause the nba is a business and they needed the finals to be Warriors Vs Cavs. How does James harden dominate by getting into the paint, throwing lobs and finishing at the rim all game then they come out I. The 2nd half and star blindly bombing early shot clock 3s. That always seemed fishy to me.
That 2018’ season was ours smh 😢 I got to meet EG at baybrook I was surprised how much taller he was in person lol I’m 6’3 and he still had like a inch or 2 over me
They always talk about the”if” but leave out half of the story yeah CP gives them a chance but if Iguodala doesn’t get hurt then that same series is over in 5 with CP
I want somebody to write a book about Hardens time in Houston. Especially when the new owner took over. I have it on good authority that the new owner gave them a deadline to get it done and after that he was blowing it up to get his cash situation back healthy. I think Harden regretted running off CP3. Cuz then he got WestBrick but even with Brick he tried to make it work and they were a much better team at the end. But i think that was the deadline cuz then they brought the bargain bin of stars in there
When Tilman Fertita took ownership the rockets stopped spending money to build a better squad around Harden. Had tilman opened his wallet up it would’ve been a different story, he didn’t even want to pay Ariza.
@@voiceofreason2674 it’s sad cause people will say harden got whatever he wanted and dipped. But in reality the rockets never listened to anything harden said and it destroyed the team so he left. Harden was right about everything all the front office had to do was listen. Instead they wanted Stephen Silas John wall and Christian wood😂😂😂😂💀
@@vanwilder205 harden was def immature at first. The McHale and Howard years Harden showed his azz. And even with CP3 he was a diva, but I could tell he wised up by the end of the Russ year. It's just Russ was fully on his way to becoming the BrickGod which was finalized when he got BAPTIZED by the fan w the popcorn
@@jordanbailey1034Harden should’ve beat the warriors. He spent that entire series getting into the paint at will with his ball handling and throwing lobs. The NBA made a call and said “the warriors need to make it to the finals” for the “rivalry”. It’s a business. You mean to tell me harden breaking that defense down on his own getting to the cup, throwing lobs and finding guys for easy buckets the entire first half. Then all of the sudden they just start jacking early shot clock 3s for no reason and miss 27 straight. And the went 7 games in a competitive series. Bron got swept. Rockets would’ve smoked the Cavs.
That 2018 rockets vs warriors game was rigged in the 3 quarter the rockets were fouled like10 times and Jordan bell was not getting call for moving picks.
@@andreslancheros2863 exactly. It almost made me stop watching because of that. Had I not watched the game I would be spilling the same thing of “oh they missed 27 3’s”. I’m like that’s deflating.
Eric Gordon is your average nerd/geek 🤓 in school u seen everyday that just happened to have the genes and the work ethic to actually be good enough to go to the NBA. I respect his game, dude was a cold ass off the bench spark for all his teams but i cant get over the fact that everytime i hear him speak, i hear 🤓🤣🤣
Jeff Teague was very nice but he continuously slanders himself like he was a bum benchwarmer. It’s the funniest thing to see somebody that’s so overly humble and constantly clowning themselves 🤣🤣
Harden was a beast but he depended on them free throws. When the playoffs came he couldn't do the same. He ain't on wades level or kobes. He's great tho.
The rockets were not beating the Cavs. Harden shot 41 percent from 2 and 24 percent from 3 against the warriors. He disappeared in the playoffs like he always does
Teague stop acting like the rockets wouldve beat the cavs bruh harden wouldve shot them boys out the series and disappeared how he did every other time in the playoffs💯
You must not know how my rockets were nobody even the warriors were 1 game away from giving up like we would have beaten da cavs even with LeBron probably a 7 game series but we definitely would have won we swept them in da regular season and in playoffs nobody was fw us not even the warriors
@@sebastiananderson222 nah bruh thats when i was locked in on hoops more than ever. Harden was going to sell them every year the rockets had top 3 offense with harden leading or being the runner up in scoring behind kd or westbrook in that stretch. The rockets did have them beat at their game and thats because cp3 that’s actually a example we can use other than phoenix to show how his real impact when he has a team around him💯 the rockets would run and gun but it in them late stretches where the games getting tight cp3 was the one controlling those games slowing the pace down and getting to that midrange making sure all the team got their touches harden was still out there tryna tap dance and hit step back 3s while they had the lead in multiple games go watch it for yoself bruh i literally watch full basketball games everyday at work, on break and falling asleep for bed the dude was tryna have “his moment” instead of playin winning basketball and thats a fact and game 7 prove what im saying no cp3 them boys shot and missed like 27 3pointers straight😂💯
