I was musing to myself about the idea that James Harden has been a failure in the playoffs. My fault for reading a comments section on Twitter again, I know. Anyways, I started looking for a list of total playoff wins since Harden became a Rocket. Naturally it's dominated by a few dynasties. Shaun Livingston's in the top 5 for god's sake. But if I do a little selective filtering ... NBA LEADERS - PLAYOFF WINS SINCE 2013 on teams not led by Steph Curry, Lebron James, or Gregg Popovich 1. Al Horford - 34 1. Serge Ibaka - 34 3. Trevor Ariza - 33 4. James Harden - 31 5. Chris Paul - 30
Another Harden streak ended last night -- consecutive games with 20+ FGA. http://bkref.com/tiny/Qo8L7 He had 30 consecutive games with at least 20 FGA. In last 35 years, that streak has only been eclipsed twice. Here are the numbers for the respective streaks: Code: Allen Iverson (during 2001/2002 season) G MP 2PA 2P% 3PA 3P% FTA FT% ORB DRB AST STL BLK TOV PF PTS GmSc TS% +/- 40 44.3 24.3 42% 4.6 31% 10.4 82% 0.8 3.7 5.4 2.9 0.3 3.9 1.6 33 20.5 49% +5 Michael Jordan (during 1986/1987 season) G MP 2PA 2P% 3PA 3P% FTA FT% ORB DRB AST STL BLK TOV PF PTS GmSc TS% +/- 34 39.5 27.3 48% 0.9 19% 11.6 87% 1.9 2.9 4.2 2.6 1.4 3.4 3. 37.1 26.2 56% na James Harden (during 2018/2019 season) G MP 2PA 2P% 3PA 3P% FTA FT% ORB DRB AST STL BLK TOV PF PTS GmSc TS% +/- 30 37.4 12.9 56% 14.4 32% 11.3 91% 1 6.1 6.4 2.4 0.9 4.6 3 38.5 28.1 60% +3.9
