I love watching Russ play. So far each game with the rockets his field goal percentage has been bad. But than he finishes and closes each game with a good percentage. Missed all five of his shots in the first and finishes the game 9/11 for a overall total of 9/16 Against the bucks he was like 2/9 at halftime than made 5/8 of his next shots for 7/17 Missed his first 3 shots in the pelicans game before finishing 9/17
@Thor The God Of Thunder, Hoes, and Beer harden has been trash the first two games and if it wasn't for free throws his point average would be a lot lower
Thor The God Of Thunder, Hoes, and Beer he’s right tho harden played trash shot 8/21fg and 3/14 from 3 and could have cost them the game which would have ruined Westbrook’s great performance of 21 points from 9/16fg, 12rb, and 9 as. Just cuz they’re on the same team doesn’t mean he can’t ruin his teammates performances by underperforming.
R G doesn’t excuse the fact that harden is playing like trash and that can affect the teams chance of winning a game which ruins good performances from Russ.
@@DBG_Gastino He also shot 22 free throws... part of what makes him great is DRAWING FOULS. Rockets don't win this game if he doesn't make up for his bad shooting by doing that. Teams have proven it possible to guard him without fouling; idiot fans need to be getting upset with their team for not learning how to guard him instead of hating on Harden.
@@melon9440 The truth is harden is an amazing scorer. But he gets ridiculous calls and purposely bumps into people. Every. Freaking. time.. so a lot of nba fans dislike him. He also gets a fat chunk of his points on free throws, i think thats what he was pointing to when he said duncan is more fun to watch.
Thunder would've won had they protected the paint better, bad transition defense and not let up in the 3rd with cp3 doing too much 1 vs 1. Rockets should play like the second half of this game the remaining of the season instead of living and dying by the 3s. It's boring and predictable
AT Tatara So the other video only has Joel Embiid name it, but it’s highlights of the whole game, these are suppose to be highlights for the whole game, it’s been like for years, well it was like that until last year
@@PropiaPersona yeah everybody is counting them off because they only have the notable Chris Paul and Steven Adams but I see them as the 2nd Spurs. Team basketball will carry them to the playoffs.
NBA season is way too long. Nobody bothers to come to these early games. I start watching full games after all star weekend. That's when teams try hardest to get into playoffs
It's okay you guys. James Harden called the Wah-mbulance. Y'alls hurt butts are gonna be fine. They can't cure saltiness but you're gonna get the help you need!
@@sythlore610 i glanced at the early season stats because i havent been able to see certain games and i noticed *if i recall* hes shooting like 29 from 3, maybe low 30s overall FG%
@@str8koptv901 maybe to fans.... but not in terms of how good your team is, case in point. Clippers had 0 stars last year = made the playoffs Pelicans, Hornets, Wizards, Lakers, Timberwolves etc had atleast 1 star= did not make players
Russ and Harden are a fun duo. They both compliment each other very well by covering each other weaknesses.
HD Jb SC be shabby jxjsbk
every rockets fan gangster until its the second round of the playoffs
So is every warriors fan until they realize they don’t have kd
Lol you're mad
blastoi5e bruh u prob some warriors fan, eh?
@@TK-yk6xe nah sixers fan
blastoi5e then I could say the same statement to your Sixers, and it is worse for u bc y’all didn’t have to go against the warriors dynasty
russ still has his nuclear athleticism🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏾

Marzilla Fuego he shot over 50% last 2games
I know 9/16 and 9/17 is over 50%... I’ve watched every game and it’s fun seeing how he can turn around a off start for a great finish
russ proving why hes a top 2 pg in the league
Kyrie, steph, and dame are better.
no
@@thuggerjackson5986 maybe steph(coz he winnin) but the others are inferior to westbrick
Momen Khan whose #1 in your book ?
Russ looking like the best PG in the league TBH
james harden almost spoiled yet another great game from Westbrook
There in the same team now stfu

Harden was getting spoiled by the Refs that’s his gift.
I dont think chris cared about his return to houston
Job josh CD jk
@@ikeplumo3377 for real, I agree, it's not like he played there for a long time, lol.
i loved cp3 with the rockets. hamstring injury away from winning it all
Me too, that dang hamstring in the playoffs
These highlights are horrible, didnt even show the end of the game
I've been profiting off sportsmodelanalytics dot com and their forecast models. Seriously the best $24 I ever spent
Tim Duncan’s 40 point games are more exciting to watch than Harden 40 point games.
Is this a Tim Duncan diss?
@@matthanyfiedtano4175 not a diss the guy literally just said duncan is funner to watch than harden?
A lot of us is excited to watch him play. Why u on this video anyway? Just to hate ay?

Facts all harden really did was shoot free throws
Thunder would've won had they protected the paint better, bad transition defense and not let up in the 3rd with cp3 doing too much 1 vs 1. Rockets should play like the second half of this game the remaining of the season instead of living and dying by the 3s. It's boring and predictable
Westbrook headbut the ball 2:17
Wow harden scored more points at the line then actually points think I’m lying he went 21-22 at line he scored 20 regular points😂
19
he has been pretty bad shooting the ball to start the season, gotta contribute somehow i guess 🤷🏽♂️
@@attatara5364 pretty bad is an understatement
That’s not rare in hardens case as he’s at the line a lot
ESPN is so obviously biased Barely showed any OKC highlights even tho they controlled the game until the end
these are Russell Westbrook and James Harden Highlights, hence why the title had their names in it.
AT Tatara So the other video only has Joel Embiid name it, but it’s highlights of the whole game, these are suppose to be highlights for the whole game, it’s been like for years, well it was like that until last year
@@ajpalmeri6268 theyve been doing this with alot of videos. check out some of the other ones, the kyrie and ja morant highlights come to mind
OKC didn't look half bad last night
I have them making playoffs
@@PropiaPersona yeah everybody is counting them off because they only have the notable Chris Paul and Steven Adams but I see them as the 2nd Spurs. Team basketball will carry them to the playoffs.
@@Alr1ghtyThen gallinari and gilgeos are great players
worst 40pts in NBA history.
I swear that number 7 russ was getting at was the rookie that rich Paul came on the jump to discuss about he went overseas I think
So why didn't you show the end of the game?
0:43 and 3:15 look at Chris Paul get pissed off
Man, there's a lot of empty seats
Beginning of the season and the Astros are in the World Series. Everyone here is either Astros or Texans atm. All the Houston teams are doing great!
NBA season is way too long. Nobody bothers to come to these early games. I start watching full games after all star weekend. That's when teams try hardest to get into playoffs
Russ is the best PG in the league, if u thought he was on the decline I'm sorry to inform u that u will have to continue waiting for that day to come
I still wouldnt say he the best pg in the league because he dont got a consistent shot yet
@@KenuMINIME 40% from three isn't bad at all
@@KenuMINIMEKyrie?
@@MrRedfiredemon4545 can Kyrie get 10 rebounds and 10 assists? To go along with 25 points? I don't think so
Westbrook has the talent of being the best point guard but he doesn't have that Basketball IQ like Chris Paul or Curry.
It's okay you guys. James Harden called the Wah-mbulance. Y'alls hurt butts are gonna be fine. They can't cure saltiness but you're gonna get the help you need!
How do you foul a guy for talking trash
It's hard to win when the refs gift Harden 22 free throws
They nba said refs will call more contact fouls so its easier now for him.
Did you even watch the game or watch the highlights? because at the end okc had to foul him to stop the clock idiot
Why is harden shooting so poorly to start the season?
He used up all his energy in the preseason
He taking bad shots instead of letting the offense come to him like Russ is doing
Josh R he starts off like that
Julio Young savageee' stop it with this excuse. Harden was playing like this all last season averaging 15FT a game. Half of his points come from ft.
@@sythlore610 i glanced at the early season stats because i havent been able to see certain games and i noticed *if i recall* hes shooting like 29 from 3, maybe low 30s overall FG%
your skin is not paper so don't cut it your face is not a mask so don't cut your life is not a movie so don't end it
Oh the irony🤭
Yea but cp3 the only stat in okc vs Houston 2 star in the score was 112 to 116 think about this
the NBA isnt just ahout stars
@Domo Jones was he tho? guarentee the Rockets would win in a 7 game series
AT Tatara nba is just about stars no one cares about role players scoring 8 points a game
@@str8koptv901 maybe to fans.... but not in terms of how good your team is, case in point.
Clippers had 0 stars last year = made the playoffs
Pelicans, Hornets, Wizards, Lakers, Timberwolves etc had atleast 1 star= did not make players
Its all fun and games until harden goes to the play offs and gets half those calls he gets in the regular season.
