Max Kellerman would choose Luka Doncic over James Harden

CF tried to tell me Harden’s game doesn’t translate to the postseason.

Can I interest u in 32, 6, and 8 on 64% TS?

Harden could’ve easily dropped over 40 in games 1, 3, and 5. He could’ve had 20 assists or close to it in game 4.

Harden haters are real mad right now giving salty looks. Do u see how they scurried back to their holes underneath the kitchen sink? I didn’t see a single one postgame.

 

KillerDooDoo has been on a bad poo Rockets streak

 

In the postseason, Harden usually does well against the teams we're favored to beat, and we haven't been the underdogs against OKC.

 

In 2015 Curry beat LeBron when he had an injury raged team that didn’t have one player who would crack GS’s starting 5. All that $$ the Cavs spent was on the bench watching (Kyrie and Love). In 2016 Curry lost to LeBron when he wasn’t playing with bums and played quite poorly while doing so. Then he went and got big brother.

Spot on though that Luka hasn’t done enough to be mentioned in the same sentence.

 

I guess 35, 7, and 6 on 60% TS didn’t happen against GS last year.

 

And what about against GSW in the previous years? Or against the Spurs?

More often than not, when we're underdogs, Harden under-performs. That's why the narrative exists.

 

A bad game here or there means his game doesn’t translate? Lol, right...

too bad these comments were being made based off his play against OKC in this series

gotta go back all the way to 2017 against the Spurs...guess what, he’s not the same player

 

Sorry, but the idea that Harden's game doesn't translate well to the postseason has been around a long time.

And when these "bad games here or there" occur on the biggest stages under similar circumstances, they start to become a pattern.

Awesome take. I would love for you to elaborate on this.

 

Are you brain dead? Go by the latest evidence. Why go back a few years to make you’re argument sound plausible? The latest evidence suggests hardens games in the playoffs is improving. GTFO with you’re agenda driven dribble

 

That idea is media driven, biased takes because Harden is just not liked nationally for some reason.
He has had some bad games-just like Lebron, Steph, Giannis and other contemporaries. Overall, as a rocket his numbers have been great, borderline all time great. His efficiency does go down, free throw attempts go down. He has to push through the bias he receives that others of his ilk don’t get.
I’m fine holding him to a higher standard, but be consistent. Look at the numbers and some of the clunkers other stars have had outside of Kawhi, who happens to be one of the few stars that elevates his game.

 

It's idiocy to go only by the last year. I suggest you take a statistics class.

 

Last year was the first time in a long time that Harden performed well in an elimination series.

In 2018, he shot less than 25% from the 3pt line against GSW for the series. In 2017, he shot 30.8% against SAS culminating with his 10 pt performance in our 40 pt game 6 loss.

When GSW lost last year, Curry shot 34.3% from the 3pt line. In 2016 against the Cavs, he shot 40% from the 3pt line.

I think the standards are consistent. It's just that historically, Harden has underperformed more than you think.

 

That's including being defended by the GOAT defender, according to every media outlet out there.

 

Cherry picking 3 pt percentages isn’t helping your argument, it’s actually hurting it.
Steph at 34% is equivalent of Harden at 25%
Steph at 40% is equivalent of Harden at 31%

Steph is a career 43% shooter from 3.

His overall numbers take a further drop than Harden in the playoffs by far and has had some serious “where are you” games.
He gets the benefit of the doubt because his team has won rings-his team full of all stars.

 

Also, we can go year by year, game by game. I’m very aware of his mishaps and no they aren’t as frequent as you think, you’re a media narrative person, that’s obvious.

 

Not really. I think we can all agree that if a 3pt shooter shoots 30% from the 3pt line, he shouldn't be shooting them. Harden regresses to that point. Curry doesn't.

 

Wrong again. I don't care about the media. I get my information from watching games.

 

Curry regresses at the only elite thing he does.
Harden TS% is still elite to go along with scoring, assist, rebound, steal numbers up there with any player in the league.

If Curry is the comp, outside of rings, Harden wins

 

Might need to get those eyes checked then brother.
