:smh: :smh: at any big sean slander

dude's put out banger after banger.
 
He makes 38 million dollars. The first paragraph shouldn't be typed much less two games in a row of the same experience. It's inexcusable.

wholly agree, but it is what it is at this point.

Russ and Harden combined for 63 points on 24/47 and 9/9 from the line. AD and Bron combined for 62 points on 22/36 and 14/21 from the line. Virtually a wash.

the difference tonight was Kuzma and Rondo putting up 35 on 15/21 while Gordon, Tucker, Covington, and Green had 39 on 14/30.

it’s really not deeper than that.
 
Right. He shouldn't be shooting over doubles.

But if your offensive system actively makes it tougher for your best player to score and shoot then something needs to be done about that. It's a primary reason why best players on championship teams aren't point guards. He never gets mid post iso's or elbow iso's, it's all DHO's and PnR's which are easier to trap and double.

IMO.
Yup and this is what separates guys like Bron/Kawhi/KD from Jim on the big stage.

The game was tied at the end of 3. Harden gets inserted back into the game and his team is down 4 points. Far from a hole or insurmountable lead. In the next 8 and a minutes he hits 1 free throw. He has to be held accountable for that. Inexcusable for the greatest scorer of his generation.

Asking a all-time great to climb out a 4pt hole is too much.
 
Now it's the system's fault. The same one that allows him to get those eye popping numbers all year that y'all fawn over. If CP0 wasn't an even bigger nincompoop he would have already been outta here. I member y'all saying the only reason he ain't broken through was because of the Dubs in his way. Looking forward to the takes after Saturday night.
 
Ahem...James Harden does neither of those.
The issue is once he makes the pass on a collapsing defense. The Lakers were able to rotate easily cause the other guys can’t make a decent play of the bounce . Westbrook and Gordon were bad.

He's seriously doing his talent and size a disservice because when the games matter and you're playing great teams who will sell out on you in the playoffs, it becomes so hard to manufacture shots playing PnR 30 ft from the basket, and it's much easier to get the ball out of his hands.

Play out of the mid post, pinch post, pull ups, etc. you're 6'5 230 man.

It's no wonder why he got his MVP and almost made the finals w/CP3 who because he was an actual elite PG got him off the ball more and diversified Houston's attack. Sucks that pairing didn't work out.
 
This entire System & Roster were put together to maximize his Game but suddenly it's any & everyones fault but his :lol: it's exhausting.

Also for the AD is taking to many fadeaways crowd..... dude is catching the ball everytime with a 6'6 dude on him, bumping the defender off their spot & creating wide open shots for himself.... IDK why people are acting as if the majority are heavily contested or something

Yep. Agree on everything. Jim absolutely has his faults. Always maintained that. Reason why he doesn't crack the top 3.
 
I don't even have a problem with Harden not shooting over double teams.
It's the disinterest that he shows for me. Once he gives the ball up, he's done with the possession and just stands around.
No urgency, or off ball movement. He only operates through plan A & if that doesn't work he can't operate.
With this limited roster, it's nearly impossible, but this is what he wanted when he got rid of CP3. Deal with it.

Edit- I've BEEN done with Harden. You can pull my post from last year when KD went down. It's who he is, and he isn't changing.
I'll praise him during the regular season, but when it matters, I can't trust him.

Right. Honestly I don't think anyone was saying shoot over two defenders
