    Curry is the best shooter in NBA history. Dame and Klay are very elite shooter and shoot a ton of open 3s of screens and motion. Harden shoots contested step back 3s. I’m not sure what your point is? I will take any open 3 off a screen any day vs a contested step back 3. Do the other shooters shoot step back 3s yes of course but they also move off screens to free themselves up a lot too.

    Rockets lead NBA in most wide open 3's.

    And Harden may not be the most efficient 3 point shooter but he is the greatest in shooting unassisted 3's, not even close.

    You just do not like the aesthetics of Harden's game. A bit petty considering that Harden is 3 time consecutive leading scorer in NBA and his scoring average is in stratosphere where only MJ and Wilt ascended.

    But you keep your death grip on Curry, Klay, Dame and others who have brought zero wins, credibility, recognition, esteem to your favorite franchise.

    I never disputed that they shoot a lot of open 3 pointers. But let’s not act like they don’t shoot a lot of terrible ones as well. How many times a game do we complain about EG launching 3s from 10 steps behind the arc? You act like just because I don’t 100% love the way JH plays his game today that I’m a hater and don’t appreciate his greatness. He’s a HOF player that isn’t in question. I have issues with the constant step back 3s especially on nights where he is shooting 3/15 from there. In my opinion he is the best at getting to the rim and finishing in the league I wish he would do that more and cut down on the 3s. I hate that he’s allowed Morey and MDA to strip him of his deadly midrange game And yea I question his effort at times on the floor. I think any reasonable person would understand that Harden is the Rockets and they would be nothing without him. But that doesn’t mean I can’t point out the faults I believe he has in his game.

    Glad they weren't able to celebrate on their home court after Game 5.
