QUESTION: If Harden ran more - say getting the ball up in 4~5 seconds . . . would you be ok with chipping 5~8 minutes off his overall game time Rocket River
No i dont think so. He is a rythymic player that likes to read the defense like a quarterback. I like that he understands his own flow and rythym
No. You're basically asking if we'd be ok with Harden playing 28-30 mpg if he pushed the ball more. We need him to play his 35-36 mpg, and if the only way he can play that many minutes is by not pushing the ball at every opportunity then that's something we're just gonna have to live with.
Harden, and this version of Rockets, have risen rapidly in my affections and esteem. Thanks to the op, really enjoyed the read!
The thing I like it about it the best is that if James is focused enough to sit down and write about that means basketball is on his mind and he's focused. Excellent stuff.
