CP3 is such good defender. Aggressive, yet disciplined. He can cut of dribble penetration and also play the passing lanes, which EGo can't do. He can singlehandedly improve our defense with those two aspects.

 

The thing about Harden is that he's always been a better shooter than what his normal 3PT% would indicate, because outside of Curry, Harden probably takes the most off-the-dribble, step-back kind of threes in this league. If Harden only took catch-and-shoot threes like Klay, I guarantee you that Harden would have shot near 40% mark for his entire career.

 

Sucks but a really good rest for our team, spec considering cp3 knee injury.

 

He’s a natural born floor general, his movements and attitude visually leads by example on defense and obviously very verbal in leadership.

It’s all the little things he does that makes him great

 

Are you waiting for him to hit a 3?
You have a better chance getting that $200 tv from Best Buy on Friday

 

And here is this list if you filter by 6+ games, and require each to be on 40% or better shooting.

Rockets gonna be 12-1 in November

 

Good W.

*** Memphis

 

I didn’t get to watch the game...looks like it was a pretty boring win

 

He's been in the 97th percentile in catch and shoot threes for a few years now or really close to that. He's been extremely elite shooting threes with no dribbles he just doesn't get many.

His shooting has been elite from three this season especially when you factor in his volume and the difficulty.

Your right he is a realky good shooter.

Not curry and klay level but he's right behind them imo.

His shot is so smooth and quick with no effort. That's the mark of a great shooter.

 

Rockets #2 in point-diff, again.

This time by a wider margin.

 

At the risk of sounding insanely arrogant, I no longer root for other Western conference teams to lose. Only two teams matter to us at this point and that's the Warriors and Spurs. The rest are irrelevant to us. I'd actually like bubble teams like Portland, Memphis, and New Orleans to win so that they can keep OKC out. F the Thunder.

 

Funny enough he is close to 50% after the step back threes this season.

 

See: 3PT Contest

 

Yeah, I think at one time Harden came at 3rd in 3PT contest if I remember it correctly.
