    Lol yeah the Celtics were the work of great management.

    If you are great and surrounded by talent and shooters, you're on your way.

    That's just a personal wish, I like playmaking more than scoring but in today you have to shoot n score big, get that totally.

    If his team beats the Clippers, expect Luka being better than Harden as the popular sentiment in media and by non-Rocket fans.

    Even if the Rockets beat them . . . . .. and the Lakers
    People will still say it.

    Probably. It has a lot to do with the age Luka is.

    Luka is a going to be close to GOAT in this trajectory.

    I think the only thing that is not proven is longevity that's hard to predict

    Max Kellerman got paid the big bucks
    Makes 99% of the Clutchfans here except @Clutch and some others
    fall for a narrative he and his espn team created and salivating til Monday comes so they can hear what he says and what opposite narrative Stephen A would say

    Luka has a more positive image.

    Always smiles and ish, goofy personality.

    Will be marketed as likable.

    He doesn't need to be, just make those darn buzzer beaters. ;)

    I think he is more relentless in the 4th and brings another refreshing element to the game.

    And yeah those advanced statiscal perks he got doesn't guarantee championships.

    The current Clippers team would be by far the best team Harden would beat in the playoffs if he hypothetically beat them. You understand that Harden has never beaten a team as good as the Clippers in the playoffs right? He took the Warriors to 7 but that isn't beating them.

    Harden has never really elevated his play in the playoffs for a series tbh. The only time I can think of is when he was on OKC still against the Spurs.

    I would say in 2019 he did. He averaged 35 on near 60% ts. He definitely stepped up then. But he did have very poor shooting numbers in the 2018 playoffs.

    Has Harden ever lost to a team with a worse record than his?
    I think Warriors were the only one

    The Blazers I believe. He lost to the Kawhi-less Spurs also.
