Going to defend Harden until my last breath. Did he play well this series? No. Is it easy to pile on him because that’s the what the media and Twitter clowns have done his entire career? Yes.
Everyone is quick to joke and make fun of him and discredit him because that’s the popular thing to do. I’ll never understand it. He just hoops and gets crucified.
The Knicks are playing out of their minds and Harden and the Cavs happened to be in their way on a historical stretch. Yet everyone on Twitter wants to make a joke on Harden who has arguably been Cleveland’s best player this postseason. But you can’t bring up logic or stats because that’s doesn’t fit everyone’s narratives.
Harden is an all-time great and hopefully he will get his respect he deserves once his career is done. Until then, Twitter clowns will continue to spew nonsense.
Daryl Morey appears to take a shot at James Harden and the Cavaliers 🍿

Kawhi Leonard was the most doubled player in the playoffs through two rounds, but people were mad he “only” had one 38+ point game.
The guys close to him (Edwards, Towns, Jokic) had 3 games combined of 38+ points one of em was Edwards with 43 vs the Lakers defense.
