Tonight is his night. Get it, James. This is more than a signature game. This is potentially a career defining game. I don’t think a loss really “hurts” him nearly as much as a win will “help” him. This one game can elevate Harden’s legacy. It’s the biggest game of his career. Game 7 will be if we lose. This game is that moment where he can go from a low end hall of fame player to possibly having a top 20 career. This game and the nba finals can have that kind of impact on him. A loss and well, he’s about the same as he was before this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Iggy missing gives the rockets any more of a chance lol it’s going to be the warriors big or if the rockets win, it will be one of those games where no one would have made a difference. This won’t be a repeat of games 4 and 5 where the rockets don’t play their best and win. It will take our best basketball or it’s a blow out. I just hope we haven’t already called it in and decided to play for game 7, kinda like Cleveland did against Indiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rockets have won two games in a row and he's played up to his standards in large stretches of both games. Harden is already a top 5 SG of all-time, IMO.

I think you are and have been down playing Iggy's impact since he started missing time. Not only is he a big game performer, but he has a high IQ and allows the team not to play any of the bigs in the 4th quarter. CP3/Harden/Gordon really take advantage of the bigs but if Iggy is on the floor, then there is no weakness. Steph at times especially early on got taken advantage of, but after game 2 his defense has been very solid. Oh yeah, you don't have to give minutes to Young or the struggling Livingston if Iggy is playing. And his defense on both Harden/CP3 has been phenomenal this series.

Yep, he's a huge loss on both offense and defense. Looney doesn't really contribute much of anything on offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-ALL-DAY Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 If Harden puts on a masterful performance and they win without Paul? Oh yeah, that would definitely help his reputation. Because let's be real, he has done nothing to change it with his mediocre performance in the playoffs, especially down the stretch. It has been CP3 in the 4th quarters of the closeout game vs Utah and the last two games who has been THE guy for Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And still, a big will have to be played in the 4th quarter and could get exploited by Harden/Gordon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but I was responding you saying that now that Iggy is out tonight the rockets have a chance tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtait93 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 MJ, Kobe, Wade, Gervin, Iverson, West and Allen are all easily above Harden. I’d put Harden with the likes of guys like T-Mac Edit: Completely forgot about Drexler. He’s easily above Harden too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
