Amid James Harden’s incredible debut for the LA Clippers, Atlanta fans hit him with ‘choker’ chants. Even though his start with the Clippers wasn’t the best, he converted it into memorable season, taking the team to the top-3 seeds of the West. On the other hand, he also has had his fair share of disappointing performances in his playoff outings in the past. And the Atlanta fans didn’t sigh away from reminding The Beard about it.

In tonight’s game at Atlanta, fans from the stands raised “Playoff Choker” chants in unison while Harden was attempting his free throw.

There is no doubt that James Harden is a complete baller. The superstar’s record on the court stands tall as proof. However, there are enough instances to point out that he has struggled to bring in his A-game on the big night. For instance, the NBA world witnessed one of the most lethal collaborations in the 2020-21 season.

Harden, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. A lot of expected from this trio and they did deliver it on the court. However, their impressive season went down the drain after the conference semi-final game 7 loss against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks went on to win the NBA Finals.

In Game 7, Harden had a disappointing outing from the arc, shooting at 16.7%. Even with Durant and Irving by his side, they couldn’t cross the finish and succumbed to a 111-115 loss.

Similarly, Harden has pulled off a disappointing performance in all his 14 playoff outings, out of which, he has reached only one Finals. However, with his new team, the star could break the curse.

In the meantime, Harden could accelerate to shut down the Atlanta fans by torching the home side. Let’s find out more about the game.

Harden takes on the Hawks fans

Even Harden personally doesn’t have any beef with the Hawks Nation. He has put some heavy numbers against their team. He has an average of 26.1 points with 7.5 assists in his career. And, these fans could wake up the sleeping monster in him.

In the first half, Harden dropped 13 points with 6 assists and looked raring to go in the next half. Following the chants, Harden produced an effortless layup going against two Hawks defenders. Fans could witness something special in the second half.
