He's such a special talent that this **** is totally unnecessary. Can Rockets fans really blame people for disliking him for it? 

That video doesn’t show the right angle but during the game the clearly show him take an elbow tot he throat. Idk why this is even a thing. There are actual flops people could be using.

If you dont think that's being way overdramatic, you're simply a stan. I'm not shocked tho. Harden can do no wrong.

My sister, who doesnt watch sports, watched the game with me last night and even she was laughing at Harden. 

Every single time I watch a Rockets game I'm laughing at him..he's so dramatic and a little queen

I didn't say he wasn't being over dramatic, the video uses angles to make it seem like he wasn't even touched, when he clearly took an elbow to the throat. There is a difference being flopping and embellishing, but even then, anyone who has taken an elbow to the throat knows it doesn't take much to hurt like crazy.  

Its all part of a media campaign against harden and I just don't understand it. Even Saturday night when Harden was 0 for 15, instead of saying he was 0-15, they were talking about him being 0 for his last 17, because up 20 in garbage time he missed his last two shots of game 2. Totally irrelevant, but they were adding those 2 missed shots to his total the entire game. 

its mind blowing, Harden can do things that Jordan and Kobe couldn't do and yet we have to listen to announcers trash him the entire game. Call him a disgrace to basketball and everything else. We have to seen him fouled repeatedly without a call, and then listen to people whine when he gets a call he didn't deserve. 

Has there ever been a guy that people claim is a fake, who has been this good for this long? People whine "free throws, free throws, free throws" all day long. Take away free throws, and Harden still leads the league in scoring. 

for some people nothing short of Harden miraculously beating 4 prime HOFers on one of the greatest teams of all time will do.

And then theres the whole "harden sucks in the playoffs" argument that is just a joke. 

 this series is a perfect example. Harden was MVP level for 2 games, struggled badly for 3 quarters of game 3, but went for 14 in the 4th to steal a win, and in revisionist history people will say "look at his shooting %" he sucked it up and choked. Meanwhile over in OKC you have two guys who cant win a road playoff game and are both annual all nbaers....

just 1 time in his Houston Career has Harden played with an all NBA player, Dwight Howards 1st year in Houston, and hes a choker because he can't beat Golden State? He's won more games against this Golden State team in 1 series that Lebron did in 2 finals, so what does that make Lebron?

Harden has several STINKERS vs GS and has yet to beat them in a series. Bron has did it before. Bron might lose the series but he will be playing lights out basketball. When Rockets lose to GS its bc Harden plays terrible. Shot 13% from 3 in a game 7 last year. Bron with this rockets team is beating the dubs.

bron is at home....also harden wasn't the reason the rockets lost to them last year.  cp3's injury was the main reason.

Once again here you go defending poor little James. How about forget the part about beating or losing to GS and just play up to your ability? Is that too much to ask? After game 1, he wasn't very good that series and you know it. None of the close games did he have an impact as it was all CP3 and Gordon, and then he was part of the big shooting drought in game 7. But no need to repeat the crap that has been said for years, time for him to step up this year. Let this playoff run be his career defining moment. Let's see him have that regular season type of impact and then some which could possibly lead the Rockets past the Warriors and ultimately to the finals. A good sign for him was his performance against the Jazz last game in the 4th quarter. Having one of the worst shooting games of all time, he never got deterred and made a lot of winning plays. In the past that wouldn't have happened.
