Lolll what???
A leader in the playoffs is what I meant. James Harden had the Rockets in position to reach the 2018 NBA Finals.
3-2 series lead. Double-digit halftime lead in both Game 6 and 7 (at home). And we still lost both games though.
A strong second half in either game from Harden pushes them to the Finals. No excuses. No CP3. I get it but still...
No excuse for a 65-win team not to advance with a nice halftime lead. Especially in a Game 7 at home. That's tough to forget.
There's also a reason Daryl Morey tried to trade four first-round picks to Minnesota for Jimmy Butler. Even on a 65-win team.
At any rate. I'm happy for Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat. Let's see if they can close out the Celtics. Also Harden is coming back to Houston. Whatever!
