Somewhere Harden is flopping right now
Daniel Salley and chasing down a ref from a different game begging for a foul.
Facts
Yep! He even tried that weak tacky cheap tactic on Russ on that last shot too. Russ played good clean defense on him, and Harden STILL fell down like he got bumped! I don’t like how the Rockets play like this. It’s dirty shit. Im just glad our boys got thru this one. ⚡ 👆
+Brian Double U I don’t think many people like Harden. I’m not much of a Thunder fan, good luck though.
Hey rockets fans? Where’d that 26 point lead go? 👀
+Yami Yugidude for your own sake, stop watching these NBA games and focus on how to write/read English. because I don’t know what the fuck you are saying
Rockets are overrated. Last year they had better chemistry, this year Harden is just shooting too fuckin much
+Kevin Westbrook says the dude who named himself after basketball players lolol
+Kevin Westbrook so what is it gonna be now Paul Westbrook or Russell George
it’s going going………. gone haahaa lol
This game proves Paul George is better than James harden
Anirudh Mukund but then you would be a bandwagon…
Way better
Both great players. Harden the man!!
Paul George is my favorite player
+Kussay Nassr But did it happen?
Roccets blew a 26 point lead 😂😂🤦🏾♂️ #ThunderUp
+Joe RK lets focas on whats happening now
At home too. That’s a disgrace for their team
Joe RK when was the last time you made the finals
Yeah, but you can’t even spell the word Rocket so…
LMAO talking about rockets blowing a lead nigga learn how to spell first
Defensive discipline helped okc 2nd half and Schroder should be 6th man of the year talk
Paul George is proving to the league that he is better then Harden
+Hølmes2013 is harden a two way player? Nope. PG got it
+LoathVison nope but is the best two player this year. For that fact he is MVP
Hølmes2013 lmao unanimous my ass. He shoots 20 3s a game and makes 1/4. That’s 15 points and he gets his other 15 from the free throw line. Paul George is easily the mvp over harden
+Nick Green can’t forget his defense
+Hølmes2013 lmao pg13 is d player of the year he actually plays both sides of the ball harden doesnt
Paul George outplayed Harden tonight. George has earned the MVP in my opinion
George MVP
Schröder 6th Man
Westbrook defensive player of the year
stopmotion36 this one game makes him deserve MVP?
Jemal difference between them and Schröder is what Dennis is doing for a better team. They’re 3rd in the west
d player of the year to
+My Superior lol your ideology is stupid AF, what if I told you there’s NBA players with no ring that are actually better than the players with ring
OKC Nation where you at ⚡⚡💯💯
☁️⚡☁️⚡☁️⚡
Hell of a comeback..
Lesley Taylor what about that 3-1 lead OKC blew?
Here 🏅🏅🏀
Damm Paul George the MVP. Like this if you want to him to be the mvp
Paul Jorge, my favorite nba player haha

+Edward Avanesov thank you
I read this in Spanish lol
I’ll like it when you learn how to spell george
Paul george>harden
26 point lead
*KAPOOF*
Okc to the finals🔥🔥🔥
Weas Qswe 😂 let me hear another joke
Believe it!!! OKC has best take away and score rating in the whole NBA this season and not to mention gr8 offense too😁
Joe RK we probably won’t beat the warriors but we have the best chance to beat them over everyone else
Okc to Western Conference Finals, if we can beat the Nuggets.
Terrance Ferguson is really coming into his own
Him and Grant both.
Coming into his own what? Pants?
Yeah and pg is on fire 🔥
This was more entertaining than the Super bowl.
LoL
Shanta sit on my face pls
Daniel Flores college basketball is boring. college football>college basketball
+Daniel Flores SB was pretty boring but let’s not act like the NFL isn’t the greatest American sport. They destroy the NBA in revenue. Most people that don’t like football don’t understand the complexity of the game. It’s not meant for the simpleminded. NFL is like playing chess. If you want to watch people score points then watch basketball
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 pg is the mvp man idk why he hasn’t been talked about more
Facts bro
Savior Seidi b/c Giannis is having an insane season and his team has a better record. OKC looking like geniuses for taking a chance on PG and having him sign long-term tho
Joe McFarlane I agree. Also Giannis is more marketable so he gets more media attention. However I think the load and responsibilities of Paul George are severely under appreciated. On face value, u can say he has Westbrook but on many occasions this season Paul has had to carry him due to his poor shooting. That’s why he’s my mvp. Pg is asked to do everything and Giannis is asked to do everything except shoot
+Savior Seidi Forgot to switch account lmaoo
Hell yeah without him we would lost so many games and I don’t now the deal with Westbrook this year he not making his shots hope he gets back to his old self
Rockets blowing leads like they thought it was the playoffs
https://youtu.be/Z7NV_YmMnk8
😂🤣😂
Lmao! 😂😂😂😂
3:12 “harden creates space”🤔 he sure did lol🥊😂🥊
Its seriously ridiculous at this point. Defenders are scared to even go near him because if they breathe on him its a foul, meanwhile he gets away shoving people from the 3 point to the free throw line.
I agree it’s ridiculously ridiculous how they still allow him to get away with this bullshit.
Yeah, Harden is a cheap dirty flop. He’s literally the only player I actually can’t stand in the NBA today.
PG had to take this out of his repertoire cuz the refs kept callin offensive fouls
8:57, about time refs don’t give the advantage to Harden.
If the game was officiated properly, Harden would would never win a game. Hence, he chokes in the playoffs because he can’t pull that bullshit off
you should’ve watched the game.
Yup he was barely getting bumped and the refs call on it but do like it at end of the game where Westbrook didn’t bump him and he falls back but must say Harden was making he shots 40 points good job man
Kyle Clemmons he missed 17 shots
We all knew PG13 was good…
But this year, he really took his game to another level.
MVP! 😎
They say “Giannis is mvp” or “hardin is mvp”. Paul george destroyed both of them and their teams including putting the freak on poster. PG went Rated R this season #MVP
Yea “hardin”
