    Siakam and Gasol with 32 and 20 point games
    Kawhi had 23

    I will go check and see which game Harden dropped 23 while other players on the team had those kind of gms

    Fair enough. Regardless, he would be a good starting small forward for the Rockets.

    Must be nice to trot out 7 defenders over 6'6" against the warriors (Danny Green, Kawhi, Siakam, Gasol, Serge, OG, and McCaw)

    Hell, the only one we used consistently against them was Capela.

    We must get some playable height on this team.

    Yeah he only got scared of the big moment and became passive AF.

    What we should be curious about is those stats because the Rockets were 5th in the playoffs in transition and better than the Warriors in transition by frequency, points, ppp and efg% despite being a slower, older team.

    In the regular season we were 3rd in points per transition possession. Down from 1st the previous season, which is easily explainable given our 11-14 start.

    People are just projecting their views on this whole thing with flimsy data constantly.

    That’s kind of hard considering kawhi doesn’t hold on to tie ball for 80% of the shotclock don’t ya think? Naturally other players get involved..

    They move the ball better, but they are not a better team without him.

    RR don't you know by now that if Harden moved to the corner that his teammates would suddenly become All Stars?
