Are you aware he regressed from his previous season % as well? isn't that what regressed means? i mentioned that now i know you are just trolling or bored and seeking attention because i stated he regressed after having a few decent (for him) seasons after his rookie year, and 30% is acceptable by the Warriors since they have extended him contracts since drafted there with his 3pt%, so i guess they are thinking like me after all and seeing his Def/quasi leadership trumps his 3pt shooting ability of course the opponents would accept his 30% or 29.6% (round off to 30), because of the others around him that are capable of hitting 50%+ (wide open) and 40+% off screens rather contested or off the bounce Defenses were encouraging him to shoot and he obliged by shooting a whopping 2 attempts per game in 21' season, which turns out to be 1 attempt per half and the following year a whopping 1.2 attempts per game so i guess Draymond really fell for the okie doke by those defenses that were encouraging him to shoot........ like i said whoopty doo doo
You're changing the argument. The Warriors tolerate Draymond's poor shooting because of everything else he brings to the table. That doesn't mean they're happy with it. The only people who are happy with it are his defenders. Remember, you original moronic contention was that he'd be a serviceable 3pt shooter on the Rockets. That's somehow twisted itself into "his defense/quasi-leadership trumps his 3pt shooting". Mental gymnastics much? When Draymond Green shoots a 3 pointer, he's wide, wide, wide open. He's so side open that he can't do anything else but shoot the 3. When he's just wide, wide open, he won't shoot. And when he's wide, wide open, that means defenses are ignoring him and making things more difficult for his teammates. Luckily for him, he's teamed with some of the greatest catch & shoot players in NBA history. If he were on the Rockets, he'd stay in the corner, and defenses would totally ignore him. He'd be forced to shoot the corner 3, and defenses would laugh and laugh as the team imploded.
You are changing the so called argument because i never replied to you initially, you replied to me this is a difference of opinion / view, that you seem to keep bringing up other things and getting stumped and still saying what i said all along, of course they tolerate his lack of 3pt shooting because of the mentality / defense and quasi playmaking i never said Draymond was a good shooter, you took what i originally quoted and created a rant for some odd reason, just go back and read the original replies and see how silly you look my original post about him was that he would be basically the Tucker role which he doesn't play that on the Warriors so with the heavy focus on the Tucker corner camping role he may have improved upon or remained at 38% or 33% as he had in early Warriors career or plummeted to 29.6%, you called it moronic which shows your mental state of mind and comprehension skills i didn't twist it into his quasi leadership / defense, that is who he is and was that way since his college days, and it trumps his 3pt shooting because of the surrounding cast that the Warriors have put around him, similar to how they put good to really good defenders (some say elite) as in Draymond / Iggy and Klay (pre injury) to cover the weakness of Curry defense That's what players are supposed to do when they are wide open right? and those who are playing to their strengths or going thru a funk usually doesn't take it right? you are just mentioning what i have been saying all along, he's in a system with the greatest catch and off the bounce shooters for his entire career in Curry / Klay and KD, and throw in Iggy and Porter and even somewhat to a lesser degree Wiggins but offenses don't ignore Curry no matter how much Def. help they provide, they just attack and attack the weak link, luckily for Curry they play really good team defense
I haven't been stumped at all. Have you not noticed all the holes in your argument? And quit moving goalposts. You initially talked about "if they had equal supporting casts" with regards to Harden and Curry and that naturally led to Draymond Green's shooting. Note how the bolded statements contradict each other. You actually did......maybe you finally realized that defending his shooting is a losing argument. Yes, and that's exactly why Harden and Draymond Green would be a terrible pairing.
How many burners @HardenVolumeOne gonna make? @Ancient Moabite join date Monday. 100 posts in this thread alone. @peleincubus why aren’t you complaining biiiitch?
@HardenVolumeOne has so many burnders. He's trolling the Astros forum too. I think @my time to shine is one of his troll accounts. Dude lives in his mom's basement jerking it to Harden with his video game collection.

Of course you have been stumped, all equal supporting casts for 10+ yrs would be equivalent to Harden being with Russ / KD where they reached a Finals in 2/3 yrs after Harden got drafted, or the other would have been if Irving / KD / Harden got to play together for same amount of years as Klay / Curry / Green, that is what i meant by talent being equal or, or lesser with Curry having similar cast to Harden when he arrived in Houston with the musical chair annual roster similar to how Bron went and joined the Heat to combat the Celtics big 3/4, making it more on equal footing than what he had with the Cavs first 7 yr. stint if Curry had the same Warriors team that just recently missed the playoffs 2x for longer duration he wouldn't have 4 rings, or if Curry had the Rockets roster instead of Harden he wouldn't have carried them to multiple ships what led to Draymond's shooting was you replying to my opinion about him having the Tucker role, how is that contradicting? have you ever played ball in your life and had a role, regardless if it was star or limited role as being a spot up shooter, or just a only rebounder or defender? Draymond role with Warriors and Tucker role with Rockets are not the same and Tucker wouldn't be able to do for the Warriors what Draymond does, but Draymond could have at least tried to duplicate with Tucker did if he put in the work on that pocket corner aspect and if that was all he was asked to do as Tucker did, and D up what he does naturally Everybody was a terrible pairing with Harden then i guess, because Mike D wanted to shoot 70 threes per game, and Howard / C3P didn't fit that agenda of being 3 shot happy, Lin was a flash in the pan and Ariza was probably the only one but he wasn't what i would call a superstar or star player, and Tucker worked out because of his limited role as a catch and shoot 3 pointer and willing defender everything you mentioned got stumped, you mentioned a whole bunch of other poppycock and got schooled, it is what it be. i mentioned equal supporting cast and Draymond corner pocket role with Rockets you mentioned a bunch of other jibberish about Draymond and Harden not being able to get along, Draymond punching Poole, Harden having thin skin, Lebron being a volume inefficient scorer, the league having 8 teams what did any of the other stuff you mentioned have to do with my original reply? a bunch of nothing, but i guess you dealing with something personal and had to vent somewhere, good job
Who is HardenVolumeOne? so whoever starts a new account is affiliated with whoever this other account you have a strange fetish for? Your pic says it all stay in your lower-self lane, it suits you quite well
That's equal? Since when has Curry been teamed with 2 MVP caliber players? It's contradicting because "you never said Draymond was a good shooter", but you have him playing the Tucker role, that of an excellent corner 3pt shooter. I guess all the NBA wings who were unable to develop a consistent 3 pointer.....I guess none of them ever practiced, right? This is why you won't win the argument, and this is why you look foolish. Draymond literally has 6 consecutive seasons of shooting less than 31% from the 3pt line, and defenses are leaving him wide, wide open. Do you really think he's not practicing? I've made you look like an idiot. Over and over and over. But you go ahead and keep thinking that GSW coaches have never thought to have Draymond Green practice shooting 3 pointers.
Your infatuation with whoever that account is says a lot (or not) about you, take your stand up comedy act elsewhere, it's wack and throwing around a word like racist, when you don't even know what it really means and was created in the 1730's with this modern dulocracy society
And they reached a Finals trip at a very young stage similar to the Shaq/Penny led squad, Westbrook nor Harden was thought of being MVP's at that moment, but they only played a few seasons together and not the 10+ or they would have more than likely reached a few more Finals and possible title or so, which is why i said that was equal because it was the most sheer talent Harden had at that time and the short stint with Brooklyn Tucker became good at that because it was all he was asked to do and he did his job to best of his ability, good for him I Am not trying to win a so called argument, you came at me with your poppycock, i didn't originally reply to you, the three point era has clogged your mind, not every player is obsessed with being a competent 3pt shooter, it's more to the game and others stick to their strengths like Derozan and other players who are of the mindset of the older era players/style and do what they do, its simple i don't know how much a said player practices because i wasn't there with them during their offseason, go ask them and find out you look foolish for all the non sense you have spewed and got schooled, the league is still masked as a 8/9 team since the 80's but tricked you because it created more franchises for $$$ you don't even know what the true meaning of idiot means, and who cares what GSW coaches have tried to get Draymond to do, because at the end of the day Dray is going to do what he pleases, just as the rest of those ego maniac athletes now go argue with your significant other or buddies offline, you got stumped
Why is would it be equal if its more talent that Curry ever had? What's the point of this.....are you backtracking from your earlier statement that Draymond Green could play the PJ Tucker role? Glad to know you aren't trying to win the argument. You're doing a great job of it. No need to. I'm confident that the GSW coaching staff has Draymond practice 3's. You tell me I'm a fool, and then you say something like this. You sure are an interesting person. You know that, in the past 4 years, we've had 4 different NBA champions, right?
it wasn't more talent if you count the KD tenure with Warriors, i was talking about that as well, KD just happen to be part of the OKC - Warriors - Nets, he is the ultimate X / cheat code factor Curry / Klay / Green were all stars with excellent chemistry, which is why they won more games than when they acquired KD who made them a cheat code How is that backtracking, swap Tucker and Draymond and it's the same statement, you are either trolling or can't comprehend worth 2 cents, pick one There was never a argument on my end, i posted my 2 cents, you came with your lower-self argument, and got stumped in the process well then you should look into your crystal ball and tell me how many 3pt reps does he take during practice, or is there no need for that because the staff informed you already? you say in the past 4 years there has been 4 diff. champions, yet since the 80's to the present there has only been like 9 or so diff. teams that have won the ship, so out of those 4 the Raptors / Bucks are the newbies with the rinse and repeat of the Warriors / Lakers from the previous eras from the 80's to the 2010's so i guess the league is showing quasi diversity by letting the new era start off by not being as repetitive as the 2010's and prior ones that i mentioned, good job Silver, now back to the rinse and repeat cycle of champions
The Warriors won 73 games in 2016, the year before they acquired Durant. How many games did they win after they acquired him? So you aren't backtracking from your stupid statement? You're standing behind the idiocy? 2 cents = assertion. When your assertion is challenged, it becomes an argument. You lost the argument. If you only believe what you see, how can you claim that Draymond Green would be a better 3pt shooter if he were on the Rockets? Are you seriously implying that the Warriors didn't have Draymond Green practice 3pt shooting? That they'd let him attempt over three 3's a game without practice despite shooting a poor percentage? Is that your assertion? You said the league was a masked 8/9 team league. If that were true, we wouldn't have 4 different champions in 4 consecutive years.
