How did he force it in the clip you posted? I consider your argument to be a form of massive reaching.
Apparently this gravity only works when you play on a stacked squad, with more talent than everyone else.
Harden's playmaking is superior in every aspect ON ball and the one area in off ball "playmaking" you're simply crediting to Curry has another integral component.... Draymond Green's proficiency as a ball handler and playmaker in those situations... something that isn't a given for most bigs or forwards in the league.
That's just the Clippers playing horrible switching defense. Yet again, it's also proving that Green is probably their best playmaker.
Nobody in the NBA understands offense as well as Harden. The guy has lead the league in scoring and assists, orchestrated historic offenses with pretty mediocre talent, all without exceptional athleticism. Also, name someone that has put up higher numbers for other teams after playing with Harden. Green looked washed and is now looking like an MLE player.
The defense overreacted to him b/c of the threat of his 3pt shooting. It happens constantly. I consider your perspective to be short-sighted. The purpose of playmaking is to cause defensive breakdowns to your team's benefit.
Curry causes the defensive breakdown yet you think Green is the primary playmaker in that play? Terrible logic.
Harden's on-ball playmaking is better than Curry's, but let's not go overboard here. What's more important is the degree that Harden's on-ball playmaking is superior to Curry's. On a scale of 1-10, with Harden's being a 10, where would you rank Curry? If anything, that's just another testament to Curry's impact. He's able to unlock Draymond Green in ways that most other playmakers can't. In any case, even though Green is an elite passer for a big man, he's not the one causing the defensive breakdowns.
This claxton kid looked pretty good last night. Why the hell didnt we ask for him in the trade. Im disgusted every night to begin with when Jarrett Allen goes off in cleveland
Chris Paul wasn't an all-star in Houston, but he was an all-star in OKC and Phoenix. Clint Capela? Montrezl Harrell? Lou Williams?
Thank you for exposing how ridiculous his argument is. He tried to show a video of guys blowing a switch as evidence of this.
Kyrie is a interesting dude, he is just all over the place. I am glad he is so happy but I know that can change overnight.
Healthy Chris Paul's numbers were better here than in OKC. Montrezl didn't get to play here at all and his numbers didn't go up until 2 seasons away from the rockets. Clint's numbers are lower in Atlanta. I'll give Lou Williams because he's really not a team player which is why he's plays in the second unit. His job is to look for his own shot.
