I believe this game wouldn't have been very close if we had seen MORE Green and LESS Gordo. 0 fer 7 from 3 for Gordo. His shot is broken. I believe Green would have been firing as well, but with more success. Green can surely attack the rim better than Gordo too. Disappointed Green didn't get any run tonight
WTF? Do you think Westbrook was the best scorer last season? At the end of the day he averaged most points per game, did he not? Yeah efficiency matters, even more so than sheer quantity. Also, there's eye test. Harden drives are mostly straight line and sometimes even I can anticipate him getting easily blocked. LeBron is similar, but way bigger and athletic, so it's much more difficult to guard him. Kyrie and Steph are just more dynamic at the rim (a lot of zig-zags and body contortions.) Oh I also forgot to mention Giannis, who is just one-man wrecking crew. Harden is doing his best with his subpar physical tools. I actually laud him for that. But his physical limitations are real, and sometimes it can be very difficult to overcome.
I disagree. James is an AMAZING finisher at the rim. I've been amazed how many times he gets contact with someone draped on him and still makes the bucket. Especially from the left side (left handed)
[QUOTE="Remlap, post: 11546155, member: 47457" Green can surely attack the rim better than Gordo too. [/QUOTE] you think that green can attack the rim better than gordon?
LOL harden is a superior scorer & driver efficiency wise compared to WB.. don't even lump them together harden by himself 55 wins.. wb by himself 47 wins LOL Kyrie, Stephm & Giannis and their drives wouldn't have took rockets to 50 games last season LOL at eyetest there's a reason why harden is fouled the most off drives not the other way aound.. he has superior court vision and superiorly skilled at dodging defenders.. not simply running a straight line and bullying thru them.. if that's the case he'll be fouled out everygame.. stop being nit picky and crying about harden's 50% fg off drives.. its a product of producing 60% of this teams offense.. curry is just 2% better.. but he drives 1/3 less and scores 1/3 less as well you truly think kyrie, steph, & giannis by themselves on the rockets could have drove as much as harden at the same time maintain that efficiency? yeah they can drive 18 times like harden and around the same efficiency as harden but definitely less wins
Great game. Anyone else think James Johnson is an interesting player? I like his skillset and think he plays with a nice pace. Not sure he’d fit great here, but still an interesting player to me.
Lol excuse me ? And you are ? Lol what u say makes me laugh and this is my first time ever responding to stupidity .
so you're making the same argument that Westbrook fans made last season? basically apologizing for low efficiency because he's taking more shots? (and carrying more burden?) and what's with all the ifs and hypotheticals? are you living in some kind of alternate universe where you can prove how things would unfold in a different situation? did you run some kind of experiment? the fact is Harden's efficiency at the rim is is lower than LeBron, Kyrie, Steph, and Giannis.
wbs argument was triple dubs hardens arguments is more wins, more efficient so now harden is driving too much? LOL
WB fans apologized for his low efficiency because 1. he takes many shots 2. and carrys heavy burden. which is exactly what your'e doing here wrt Harden
Who cares if he's not the absolute BEST finisher? Get a life So he's what, #3? or what? What's your point? He's pretty great and us real Rockets fans will take it. How about we enjoy the win and quit nitpicking over James' prowess at the rim?
Do you think Harden is the best 3PT shooter in the league? I must be a hater if I don't admit Harden is the best 3PT shooter ever right? Oh wait, is Harden the BEST at EVERYTING in baksetball? I didn't know that. My bad.
wb 47 wins harden 55 wins harden = true mvp wb=fake mvp stop putting them in the same sentence if lebron, curry, or kd was on the rockets he'll be less efficient if harden was on gsw he'll be more efficient
