Hopefully they implement the Harden rule next year. His scoring average drop by 5 points if they do.

I'm pretty sure it is going to happen. These dribbling into guys and heaving up shots you would never shoot aren't going to be called next year IMO. We'll see. I won't keep paying to watch that crap. It isn't just Harden either. They're all doing it now. He just does it the most / best. His whole game is built around deceiving officials.

Kawhi out for tonight's game at Houston. Pop wants him 100% for game 7.

James Harden is done.....No team will ever win a championship with him on the roster.

The Bulls won titles with 85 year old, pot smoking Robert Parrish on the roster. It is a team game. If you swapped him for Steph Curry, you don't think the Warriors would win?

I'm no fan of Harden's flopping and antics, but he is a top 10 player in the NBA and I think he could certainly win a title. It just takes a lot to make the stars align. Twelve of the 30 franchises have never won a title, and seven have never even played for one.

The way the league is now only two teams can possibly win, and probably this year only one. Many GREAT players never won a title. Many more great ones from this era won't win one either.

Nope, just like Melo and DHoward, he won't win crap.....Losers for life who aren't worth a damn, throwing away immense talent by being selfish, me-me-me type players who will foul-up any team's chemistry with championship hopes.

Come on...you are being too hard on Harden. Houston wasn't winning the title this year...no matter WHAT Harden did on the floor. This isn't the year for you to make this sort of statement...IMO.

He is playing exactly like D'Antoni wants him to play. That is his system. Harden is actually not a selfish player in my opinion. He is not as athletically gifted as many of the stars of today and has worked really hard to get where he is, so I wouldn't say he is throwing anything away.

Just my opinion of course, but I'm no Harden fan so I'd like to think I'm not biased in his favor.
