Post the other games then. Funny how the guy claiming he was the MVP, proved exactly why he wasn't one when he didn't get the award. Hakeem responded in a very different way proving who he was, if you recall.
Well actually there are tons of metrics to measure defense http://www.basketball-reference.com...m=1&p1=lillada01&p2=hardeja01&p3=&p4=&p5=&p6=
This is coming from someone that has questioned Harden this season for his lackluster play. The only thing Dame has over Harden is less TO's per game, Harden is a more proven, more adept scorer and he's been the alpha dog on the team that went to the WCF while being 2nd in scoring and top 10 in ASTs and 2nd in MVP voting. Plus how can anyone root for the guy that ended our season on a *questionable* buzzer beater is beyond me, screw that.
There are also RAPM and rpm. But Morey has said there are no good public defensive stats, so take with a grain of salt
So Harden is giving his teammates a negative +/- ? Howard, Beverley, Ariza and Capela all have a higher +/- with Harden on the floor than they do with Harden off the floor. Since those 4 have a worse +/- when Harden is not on the floor, who is it that you are referring to?
Would this thread even exist if A) Portland didn't win and / or B) Lillard didn't get 51? Come on, what.
Probably not, but when somebody sticks it to steph curry, it's a boon for the entire nba fans. I also don't like that when gs starts getting beat, they whine like little babies to the refs. They aren't invincible. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wFYjOZu3nG8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

If he played a lick of defense I would say he is the best attacking point guard in the NBA. He has been amazing this year. Portland rebuild might be shorter, especially with the emergence of CJ McCollum.
No you wouldn't. Just, no. Like I can't even comprehend how asinine that comment is. You might be the only person on this planet who would take Lillard over Curry. I'm assuming this is trolling.
Did you just achieve your final form?? CONGRATULATIONS! From now on, you shall be known as WHATIUS PRIME.
