ClutchFans Game Thread: Heat @ Rockets 1/22/2018

so you're agreeing Harden is not the best finisher at the rim?

 

most effective stop crying LOL

11.2 pts most in the league more than avg efficiency doing everything else gravity & volume

lebron 3 pts behind

 

LeBron being 10% more efficient while averaging just 3 less points is not more effective?

 

NO.. why can't Lebron drive more? why can't he drive as much as harden? less skills? ablility? vision? stamina?

 

or maybe the right question is, why does Harden insist on driving that much when he's not as efficient as LeBron? why does Westbrook take that many shots when he's not that efficient?

 

Harden's drive volume is perfectly fine LOL

Harden's no WB only you still equate the two

 

when did I equate the two? you're using the same argument that WBs fans make, that's what I'm calling out. excusing relatively low efficiency due to high volume is a cop out, and you know it

 

Came to read the post game...instead found pages of 2 people arguing with each other. Awesome.

 

harden needs to continue driving & scoring 11.2 pts & producing another 6 pts thru asists and open up the defense

wb needs to shoot less

ask MDA & Cp3

like Lebron would be "I wanna join Houston only if Harden drives less" LOL

 

LOF wanna vindicate Lin

 

Also, by your logic here, why do you not consider Harden the best 3PT shooter? He was leading the league in sheer makes before the injury. So Harden is the best 3PT shooter in your view, right?

 

So LeBron being 10% more efficient on just 3 points less is not more effective?

 

harden's drives are more effective considering the success of the team

harden's elite playmaking, 3's, & drives is the engine for the rockets success this year get over it

 

This is strictly about who is a better finisher at the rim

 

Nobody has time to talk those people down. Put down the keyboard! For your health!

 

i'm fine we're just talking

 

I choose Harden this year

he produces 17 pts (by himself & assists) off drives compared to Lebron's 11 pts produced off drives

that's 6 more points almost equal our pt differential

that's why we're 2nd seed overall while cavs is 5th seed overall

 

do you have trouble reading? finishing ability at the rim = ability to put the ball into the basket on his own. It has nothing to do with playmaking nor team success. Harden can literally be the worst finisher at the rim, and do other things so great that the team keeps winning.

Also, you still didn't respond to the 3PT analogy

 

yeah he can produce 11 pts off drives.. best in the league

if lebron can put the ball into the basket off drives better then he could have easily score more than harden obviously he can't

I think his drive volume is fine

and you think he should drive less

we can agree to disagree

 

fine, but in most cases being 10% more efficient while producing just 3 points less would be considered to be better. There's no absolute answer to it, but when we're talking about 10% gap in efficiency, that's huge
