    Your opinion is REAL REAL important.
    Yeah, you're right about Westbrook and Harden, and everyone else is wrong. OK?
    You're smarter than everyone else at basketball.

    Listen man, we've already established how SMART you are. Just a heads up, bypassing the profanity filter like that doesn't make you a genius, it just puts you in line for an asskicking by clutch the second someone hits report. Now that's me looking out for you .

    Go back to complaining about Morey's twitter post and rage about it on a china/mavs forum

    The point of this thread wasn't to highlight Harden's flaws, I'd rather have him as our star than any other player in the league, but to highlight & discuss the flaws in our SYSTEM, which holds back our star with GOAT Potential.

    You're looking out for me?
    "Listen man," when you're on a team, you support all the players on the team.
    You think you're so damn great . . . you cannot accept Russell Westbrook, a guy who averaged a triple double and was MVP. That's not up to your standard.
    In what world are you better than Russell Westbrook?
    How is he not good enough for you?
    Don't be such a pompous ass. Westbrook not acceptable? Harden broken? B!tch please.

    ok, I don't know if you're on drugs, can't speak english, can't understand english or what.

    But we're world's apart on comprehension atm. Take a deep breath and read.

    No, except that's not how it works. We're not on the team. We're CONSUMERS of the team, those who spend our hard-earned money on the team every single year. To expect us to sit back and applaud with no criticisms is impossible.

    I had this gf in college who went to JMU and she and her superf'inghot Puerto Rican roommate invented this word called "burpovom" to express how like when you're drinking a lot of beer and you kind of burp some vomit, and that's what I just did: burpovom.

    So if you think you're a part of the team, but nobody on the team knows you exist.... what are you?

    It was not predictable, but it also wasn't efficient. It's the same **** people said about Melo, they said Melo was extremely "versatile" but when you look at his FG% it is trash.

    As for Harden exclusively going for stepback 3s that is on him not Morey. He could take spot up 3s off the ball or run to the lane for floaters, PnRs, dunks, layups. There are a lot of options Harden can take not just step back 3s.

    Maybe you can use data instead of just making things up. Look at Harden's mid range game and tell us how that is more efficient than 3s and drives to the hoop and stop talking like a damn chef using sauces for arguments.

    Are you trying to argue that it would HURT James Hardens efficiency to attack the midrange when his 3pt shot isn't falling?

    Because that's my argument. He's COMPLETELY abandoned that area of his game, whether he's struggling or not. I'm not suggesting him to completely restructure his game to what it was prior to his MVP seasons. Re-assess your angle.

    Harden just set the record for most missed 3s in the first 5 games...by 10.

    Are you trying to tell me Harden can't shoot mid range when he wants to? Because even Cp3 had the ability to shoot mid range at will.

    Re-assess your own angle because Harden is the MVP. Morey can't even tell him to move off the ball you think anybody can dictate his shots? When his 3s aren't falling but he still does step back 3s instead of doing something else that is on him and not Morey, MDA or anybody else.

    Do you consider Harden a competent shooter? Like is his shooting form sound and do you trust him to make open jumpshots?

    Do you also understand the phrase "take what the defense gives you"?

    If you understand both and you watch Rocket games, you would under NBA team defenses are giving Harden wide open looks in the mid range and are leaving bigs near the paint area instead of pressing up on Harden when he reaches inside the 3 pt line because they know he isn't going to take the mid range shot.

    NBA team defenses are defending knowing what shots the Rockets aren't going to take. It makes defending the Rockets easier.

    Right, except for the fact that the Rockets have publicly tried to eliminate the mid-range jumper from their offense completely over the last 3-4 seasons. It's only been pounded into his head for the last 4 seasons that this style of play will give him the one thing he wants most in life, an NBA Championship. Morey totally hasn't tried constructing this roster entirely with 3&D Yes Sir's to MDA & Moreyball. It's totally not on Morey, all on Beard:rolleyes:

    Didn't you just say in your last post you arent telling Harden to restructure his game prior to his MVP years? Because this 3&D style is what lead to his MVP and his runner up finishes.

    Yeah, it's only been pounded in his head for the past 4 years, and these past 4 years has only resulted in MVP, runner up finishes and the highest shooting rating for a player in NBA history.

    That's why I'm telling use data instead of making up **** because you do you'll realize how stupid you sound rn.

    It's not my fault your reading comprehension is in the trash. It's entirely possible for James Harden to not neglect his midrange game, while also not having to restructure his game. Comprende?

    If you just want to take what the defenses give you why bother with having a coach or having your own offense?

    If you want to win the game you want to impose your own game plan and not take what the defense gives you because what they give you is the worst shot for you. The opponent wants to win they will give you the worst shot available yet you actively want to take what they are giving you. If Shaq took what the defense gives him he would be taking 3 pt shots yet that is exactly what you want the Rockets to do.

    Unlike you I trust James Harden, if he decides "not to take what the defense is giving him" then he has a reason for it cuz he isnt dumb like you.

    And also, "this 3&D style" is not the primary reason for why James Harden has been on this MVP season stretch. Do you know how much of a Harden hater you sound right now?

    "lol dude it's all the system, Harden couldn't have done it without Clint Charmin & PJ Tucker"

    Do you have any other arguments besides "Lewl, NBA players know more so any criticism of them is stupid"? Because you basically just made an argument for not having a GARM. Might as well just relabel the GARM "Circle jerk forum".

    If that's the only retort you have, you don't really have an argument.
