  1. Hardens ability to shoot from tough spots and drive to the basket with his left and facilitate the game for everyone while playing the high pick and roll is absolutely insane I don’t understand or appreciate the hate that he gets

  2. I want harden to play like him old self so bad people don’t realize when veterans or superstars get traded to stack teams they don’t feel the need to play like their prime anymore but it’s also sad to see them not go off like they use to

  3. 😂 This is the difference between playing a team with Harden/Russ & Beverly/Rondo who got benched. Clippers didnt have anything close to what Harden brings.

  4. when LAC acquired James Harden, I said "Harden is their only hope". People were hating, called me casual, said the clippers doing fine without Harden and Harden ruined the perfectly good team. Hopefully now the casual understand, with Kawhi sitting on the bench.

  5. Harden has gotten to another level of greatness. His selfishness this season demonstrates hella maturity & leadership. Go on and get that chip big dawg

  6. freeze the frame at 0:56 How is that not a carry? His hand is palm up, directly under the ball. He's literally holding the ball. Todays NBA is a travesty

  7. It's weird seeing harden not choking in the playoffs, well it's just first round
    I miss playoff harden, I hope I'll see him this year 😂

  8. Love to see the beard turn back the clock and come up with these type of games, hopefully he can do it consistently this time. 🔥

  9. they single covered harden, havent seen that in a playoff game in forever. harden took 17 shots for 28 points and dished 8 times for 21 more. There was some good ball movement in the half court by the clippers, they will need a lot of that going forward. Mavs were not covering the corner 3 with their zone, credit Zubac doing all that damage down low.

  10. In this clip, Harden attacked a defender 12 times, and 7 of those were on Luka.

    If Luka doesn't improve defensively, it will cost him going forward, and the masses will claim that Luka doesn't have help when he is the one who can't stay in front of anyone.

  11. James is still James. The only thing that’s changed the past few years is that he hasn’t been the number one option. But when his number is called he’s still that dude. Remember last year when embid was out agaisnt Boston. He had 45 and 42.

  12. I love the James and Russ connection the brotherhood between them is unmatched. I wish people would stop trying to put them against each other.

  13. I want James and Russ to get a ring so bad. Two of my favorite players. I’m tired of the disrespect thrown their way.
