James Harden and Chris Paul are frauds. Chris Paul has never gotten to the conference finals in his 12 year career, and he chokes in the playoffs every year just like Harden. James Harden and Chris Paul are floppers, and they both get exposed in the playoffs when refs stop calling their BS. 2012: Harden choked in the Finals when he played for OKC while Durant averaged 32/6 on 55/40/84 splits, and Westbrook averaged 27/7/7. Harden was nowhere to be seen. 2013: Harden choked in the first round against a team missing Westbrook. 2014: Harden choked in the first round losing the first two games at home to the Blazers. Harden had an extremely inefficient series. 2015: Harden choked again. Harden got benched in a elimination game in the previous round and needed Josh Smith/Corey Brewer/Dwight to save him. Then in the next round against the Warriors, the Rockets lost by 35 at home in game 3 and Harden was terrible. Harden broke the record for most turnovers in a playoff game ever in game 5, and the Rockets were eliminated. 2016: Harden choked against a team missing Curry (back to back league MVP). 2017: Harden choked against a team missing Kawhi and Parker. Harden lost by 39 points at home in game 6 to a Spurs team missing Kawhi and Parker and got eliminated. Harden had 3 times as many turnovers than field goals made in game 6. Harden lost at home by 39 points to a team missing a consensus top 5 player and best 2 way player in the league. After the game, 5 Hall of Fame players said Harden quit. Since 2013, Harden has gotten to play against teams missing Curry, Kawhi, Westbrook, and Parker in the playoffs. Harden has lost 3 series since 2013 while having a sizable injury advantage. Simply put, James Harden is a perennial postseason choker. The two perennial chokers of this generation are teaming up. Lebron (3 rings, 4 MVPs, 3 Finals MVPs), Curry (2 rings, 2 MVPs), Durant (1 ring, 1 Finals MVP, 1 MVP), Kawhi (1 ring, 1 Finals MVP), and Westbrook (1 MVP) all have 1 or more of the following: championship ring, Finals MVP, MVP. James Harden and Chris Paul have never won anything. They are frauds. The Rockets are also coached by all time postseason choker Mike Dantoni.
...been calling him Choke Harden since he was at ASU (he ruined a lot of brackets that year) on the other hand, I always thought CP3's teams were holding him back since he always seems to perform better than his averages during the playoffs
You'll see it in 10 years once they've started to actually crack down on the stuff they said they were going to crack down on in the past 9 seasons.
Threads like this are horse shit! 2 future HOFs....get the fuck outta here. Shouldn't even have replied. People like this need to respect the damn game.
James Harden is a glorified Bernard King. CP3 is the Shareef Abdur Raheem of point guards. Call me when either has a ring.
They'll work on it in preseason but have complete amnesia on the call by Houston's fifth regular season game.
