Here is the list of the worst 3 point shooters in the league who attempt at least 4 a game.

No biggie!

 

look, even curry was there shooting 24% on 3s.
Westbrook with better 3pnt % than him.

If it doesn't go in now, they will go in all later. Harden isn't a bad shooter.

That's far from our biggest issue, it will come back to the mean.

 

I would have preferred that OP work "literally" into the thread title

 

What stands out at me on that list is the pure volume of shots attempted by Harden per game in relation to the rest. Its just pure ego ball hog madness for stat padding.

 

I wouldn't disagree with that. He isn't a bad shooter when he isn't in a slump. Sometimes James looks absolutely fantastic. The same could be said for other players too. When you are hot you can be that spark that gets us a win.

The problem I have always had with James is what appears to be his love of ISO over all else. I just see him forcing shots instead of passing to a wide open man far too often for my liking. That goes double when he is shooting poorly and still taking twice as many 3's. When you are missing 80% of your shots from the arc you have no business being a ball hog.

People will always disagree with me and say James can do no wrong, like our coach does, but that's just how I feel. He seems to be chewing out other players more now too. We don't need any of our players stirring up a pot of animosity by lashing out from frustration. It's worse when the finger pointer is part of he problem things are going wrong. Guys need to man up, grow up, and play with discipline, and not immaturity. Stop the crying and whining for fouls the whole game.

I am just hoping they can all get along, and our leaders can start leading these young guys by example. We need that team chemistry and comradarie. The stars shouldn't be exempt from discipline and coaching any more than the rest. Our coach needs to tighten the reins and get in there and coach.

 

i'm proud that we have 3 players on that list! whatever list is, it's always good to be on..

 

9 games in, sample size pretty pathetic. Let's talk after 20+ games, a full quarter into the season.

Otherwise the crying and/or celebration is worthless.

 

That's too bad about his shooting, but he gets more assists and rebounds than Beverley or CP3 ever did playing alongside James. I love having Russ on our team. I love his speed, effort, and hustle.

 

I don't like anyone taking many 3's when they are not very good at it or are in a slump. James took twice as many early in the season and was shooting horribly too.

I think Russ, James, and Clint all bring different strengths, and are the best and most important players on our team. I think they have all had bad games and good games. We just need another forward who can and will initiate plays and put more points on the board. That would make us the perfect team.

 

rockets reprezzeeent!

 

Nope, but at least he didn't take 18 3's when shooting so poorly like James has at times. Anyway, there are too many other things to love about Russ, and if the haters don't enjoy him they might be happier following another team.

 

Russ' fingers may really be f***ed from being dislocated so much, as the announcers were wondering last night.
