@areayewhy Then I like my crow medium well. lol but as Royce said this seems pretty early on breaking up the core, and to me shows that no effort was made to try and make it work
I'd question exactly how smart Presti is if this happened. Seems really risky.
Anyone find it strange that after game 1 the media blasted Harden and praised Ginoboli as being the "real" sixth man. But after the last two games where Harden has outplayed Ginoboli by quite a margin, no one says anything?
@MisterJohnsonOKC @cemitten Harden???
I know this is being picky and in the end it doesn't matter, but I was looking at the voting totals earlier and something seemed funny. If James got all but four of the first place votes, and then three second place votes and no third place votes, does that mean that one of the voters that didn't vote James first also not even vote him second or third? I might be reading it wrong, but it just looked interesting.
I thought it was pretty dang funny
@FF_pickups That was exactly my point. Look back to the date when Fisher joined the team. I don't think its coincidence that Hardens play has gone down since then. And I fully agree that a lot depends on if harden gets the calls.
@OBoymuzik I should have put that differently. What I meant is when we got Fisher, is when it seems like Hardens play went down. I think it goes more with the fact that Brooks is playing Fisher too many minutes, especially at SG, than it does with Fisher himself.
Two words to describe whats wrong with Harden....Derek Fisher. I'm not saying Fisher is doing anything wrong, but it seems like since Fisher has been here Harden has been running the point almost 80% of the time when those two are on the court. And since when Harden runs point it's normally a high pick and roll it makes it much easier for teams to defend. Brooks needs to switch it up more before playoffs come.
The Clippers and the Lakers are probably the only teams remaining that I could see beating us, hopefully we take care of business.
@Lost Ones I'd like to see him shoot some mid range jumpers and maybe have us run some plays for him without the ball being in his hands, give teams something else to worry about.
@dancassidy35 The way Harden navigates the lane would help him in terms of navigating and hiding in the jungle, but his unselfishness would probably be his downfall.
@okcjim I agree, but this doesn't just happen towards the end of games, it's pretty much every time they're on the court together.
@ATH @courtsense There's more to that, about five of those ten possessions where harden passed were plays ran for durant. Harden doesn't get much iso when KD and RW. I'd like to see them run some iso with him when those two are in as there's no way the d would come off either of them. In the end it's absurd to say that harden doesn't get frozen out by KD and RW
walrusmuse Wow some of the guys that the Inside the NBA guys had are pretty questionable? Tyreke evans and Nene. And how could Charles put Harrington on his list and not Harden?? smh
I know positions don't matter with the reserves, but seriously 4 point guards and 4 power forwards?! I think that needs to change
ThunderWinsRRRWHOAAAAdantheman I've also noticed that we play our help defense too far off our man. Saw it at least 5 or 6 times the past two games
f5alcon Unfortunately you're probably right, I think the only thing that might help his case is that there really aren't many guards that are absolutely killing it right now.
I really think it'd be a crime if Harden doesn't make the All-Star team, but I don't have a good feeling about it.
Jooseppi You can probably have them sign the trailblazers commentators also, they cry about everything
