The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

It’s not deflecting. Harden still playing at a high level. Just not an MVP level.

We aren’t about to compare playoff resumes of a guy who never made it past the first round as the man to Harden. Not on black jesus birthday

Bruh you brought up Russ. What are you talking about?

"We not comparing..." YOU are. :lol
 
Ok so that means we comparing now because you brought up Russ. Shooting 40% with 4 turnovers is Russ like. This man had 29 turnovers in that Heat series.

Your guy is shooting 40% and averaging as many turnovers in 10 less minutes. Harden isn’t shoot 40%. And you can live with 4 turnovers if he’s at 11 assists per game. Nothing wrong with being 2.8:1

Russ always been a scrub it just sorta went under the radar. But if you go back and take another look you’ll see it was right in front of our eyes the whole time. The triple double thing was cool but after awhile you realize it was all a sham. He’s not even a HOF honestly.

So the 6ers lived with Harden turning the ball over 29 times in one series? :lol

If it’s a win, yeah. You can overcome turnovers in the nba. This ain’t college basketball. High usage guys are bound to give up the ball.

Now if he’s passive, foul baiting or shooting 2 for the world, yeah they ain’t winning. And that’s likely to happen between him and Embiid.
 
Why are we picking on 34 year old Harden on an afternoon where he has 29/11 assists on 7-14 shooting (5-9 from 3)?

No you can't overcome those amount of turnovers and yes he shot 40%. Unless you outmatch a team in talent you not overcoming that. That's been the story of Harden every year in the playoffs. He gets exposed.
