    If anything, Harden attempted too many lobs to Capela at times.

    I agree…just saying that Harden used more of his toolbox under McHale



    I miss when Harden consistently went deep in his bag…now it’s just a layup or dribbling in between his legs and stepping back for 3 all the time

    perhaps, but it was good for a couple of easy buckets every game, and I feel it was sorely missed when we went to 24/7 small ball

    How am I wrong? Harden spent much of his time doing isos rather than passing the ball. It's Cp3 who set up Capela most of the time not Harden.

    How is it mostly CP3 doing the setup for Clint in 18-19 when most of his assisted buckets came from Harden?

    Capela didn’t score anywhere else but at the rim, and Harden-CC at the rim assists led the league

    the facts are right there…u are wrong

    Harden would ISO, drive by his man, and then lob it up to Capela when the big man came to contest his layup or floater…this happened all the time, multiple times per game

    what u think was happening, and what actually happened, do not align

    Ok I stand corrected. It seemed that way to me given how high Harden's FG attempts skyrocketed.

    No worries. Over exaggerating how the evil fat man was ruining our team, ball hogging and alienating his teammates is pretty commonplace around here. You aren’t the only one.

    I'm not surprised KP3 is doing well under John Lucas.

    if anything I thought CP3 was surprisingly bad at lobbing to Capela. It seems like they never had that chemistry Harden had with Capela.

    Capela was better when the guard does a straight line drive, CP3 liked to slowly run his PnR and dribble a lot more which didn't mesh with Capela's jumping rhythm.

    In the few Hawks games I have seen, it seems like Tray has some of that same chemistry that Harden and CC had, which made their run a little tough to watch.

    Did you come over from the Texans forum? JK. What exactly are his problems you speak of? I know of the Cleveland locker room incident which is technically "on court", but since we have had him he embraced being sent down to the d-league, he did well for us on the Rockets, he was present during an altercation with Sterling Brown and seemed to have his back, he probably should not have been at a club during a pandemic and they should not have gotten into someone else's van on accident, but I do not think that is on KPJ otherwise he would have been the one beaten up. So what are the off court issues? So far I have only seen him this summer grinding in the gym in Houston and in New York with his coach. Harden is simultaneously nearly getting arrested with a known convicted felon in Paris fashion week. I can speak to a similar incident with Harden every off-season, what has KPJ done?

    You know what the difference between a Superstar and a guy like KPJ is? The Superstar is completely catered to. He is given a pass on everything because he is categorized differently. If KPJ was treated like a superstar the Cleveland locker room incident would never have had a chance to happen. Harden has had 10X the amount of off-court issues that KPJ has had, just wait until KPJ signs a major shoe deal, he will have the media working for him.

    Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kevin Porter Jr. was accused of "punching a woman in the face and ripping off her weave" in an August fight, according to Adam Ferrise of Cleveland.com.

    Porter, who was arrested Sunday on suspicion of mar1juana and gun possession in a separate incident, has not been charged in the reported August altercation.

    u have to establish yourself as a superstar before u get treated like one…KPJr was a 2nd year player who had done nothing in this league throwing a tantrum because his locker was moved

    there’s a reason he was available for practically nothing

    “There is no truth to this allegation which is why the allegation has led nowhere.” Cavs spokesman Tad Carper later told cleveland.com that the Cavs addressed the situation with Porter in August.

    The two women involved in the fight and two other witnesses gave police the same version of events, according to police reports.

    The women were in an apartment on the sixth floor of the building when Porter’s sister and a 26-year-old woman “exchanged words,” police reports say. Porter’s sister, who is not named in the police report, punched the woman in the face, according to police.

    If you are going to paste the story, why not paste the whole thing? When you are a high profile athlete and something goes down, you just being there there are chances your name gets thrown into it. He was "accused of" doing something, no charges filed against him because it doesn't seem like it even happened.

    Harden shoved a women, took her phone, and then threw it onto the roof of the club, the woman was injured from him making contact with her. In that instance he actually did this, and paid her, and it was fairly recently, KPJ didn't actually touch the women and that is why nothing came of it. If you look at the pics of him and lil baby at Paris Fashion week, they are both high lol, he got away with it because someone else with them claimed Harden had nothing on him, so mar1juana charges do not concern me.
