He looked honestly amazing physically, nice dunk even

Gluxion

He almost dunked right on Ausar too and got fouled. Never seen some shit like that

Scoobersteve321 | Clippers [LAC] James Harden

Yeah legit, so close too

Niceguydan8 | NBA

13 | 3 days ago

He had a lot of lift on a couple of his drives to the rim. It was strange, I haven’t seen that in a long time

AndSo4ourth | Clippers

32 | 3 days ago

This is Harden’s first 50 point game since December of 2019- a 54 point effort over the Orlando Magic. He averaged 37.3 ppg that month.

Custrdw4lrus | Pistons

29 | 3 days ago

20 free throw attempts for Harden and 19 for the Pistons. The day I don’t have to watch Harden anymore can’t come soon enough

He should get better

Gluxion

Maybe you shouldn’t foul? Giannis Shai and Luka shoot a million free throws a night but ofc yall cry when it’s harden. Play better defense on a 35 year old lol

Brock-Lesnar

22 | 3 days ago

Harden doesn’t get enough love for how much he just loves ball, the guy is always down to play when the overwhelming majority of stars in his situation would rest (like tonight). The 50 piece is just the cherry on top

TheRealBrownPudding | Clippers

16 | 3 days ago

Harden showed out for the best president in the past 25 years

x20mike07x | Pistons

13 | 3 days ago

TIL letting the other team’s star score 23 points in the 1st quarter doesn’t bode well…

Vintage Harden, crazy how his last 50 pt game was back in December 2019

beverlyhillscop | Pistons

Scott Foster was on one tonight.

MyJumpshotBroke | Clippers

Harden in the post game interview said, “I’ll rest when the season is over”. This man has been such blessing to this organization.

NidhoggrOdin | Nuggets

Harden with more FTs than the entire Pistons team is some 2019 basketball right there

Im__Ron__Burgundy | Celtics

5 | 3 days ago

I get the hate, but damn I miss watching Harden do that on the regular. Just an insane offensive talent.

UnkleGiovanni | Pistons

Huge fan of FTs?

Gluxion

-1 | 3 days ago

Lmao you pistons fans really can’t handle the fact that a 35 year old harden took a giant turd all over your team

chubbs40 | Pistons

1 | 3 days ago

40% of points from fts, and more fts than the entire opposing team is just messed up regardless. cade took the majority of the shots at the rim and he got barely any fts

Gluxion

0 | 3 days ago

Harden made Cade look like a traffic cone on those switches buddy

chubbs40 | Pistons

1 | 3 days ago

lmao we clearly did not watch the same game, cade played great defense, harden made some ridiculous shots and stepbacks. also i don’t know how what you said had anything to do with my comment, but enjoy losing in the play in tournament

jslee0034 | Thunder

Good thing you have Luka to watch now

Im__Ron__Burgundy | Celtics

14 | 3 days ago

Watching Luka has been less enjoyable recently. Can’t put my finger on exactly why that is.

Is the damn piss color jersey

Express-Pandas | Kings

Same tbh

Niceguydan8 | NBA

9 | 3 days ago

Eh I mean it’s not really the same.

18-19 Harden had NINE fifty point games.

This is not SGA hate, but there was a thread like yesterday celebrating SGA for having less than half of that this season.

18-19 Harden was just a different beast scoring wise.

That thread I was referencing was about him.

I literally said it wasn’t hate, just that 18-19 Harden was a different beast

For sure. He got robbed that year.

If you think Harden is washed, think again

If you think he can’t do it anymore, think again
