Harden can't hit layups anymore, he's basically reversing back to mid range pull ups which has been pretty accurate
Can't be factual he's supposed to be washed up. People have no idea what that term even means. They use it anytime a player isn't in his prime anymore. Harden is still a very good player.
He’s also taken 51 shots from 10’ to the arc,,,shooting 49%. 45.4% from 10-16’ And a blistering 78% (14-18) from 16’ to the arc to put this in perspective, in 2018 on league-leading 1909 shots, he took only 114 from those spots…just 34 from 16’ to the arc.
Prior to Dantoni he was actually a pretty good mid range shooter. What’s more impressive is this season he has developed a back to the basket post up game as well. Now he backs people down . His offensive arsenal is now vastly different this season
Gotta give credit to the reporter. Paints him in mostly favorable light but mentions enough inconsistencies and his personal quotes to confirm he's pampered af. He knows he can't grow and has to rely on others. Maury got a lot to deal with and promises to keep...
wariers basically gave up since they don’t have a real nemesis anymore like the old rockets team lead by daniel house
He's having a nice season so far. It's not elite Harden but it's far far far from a washed up NBA player. He's still a very good player. There are a lot of dudes in the league who would kill to put up 22 PPG, 6.5 REBs and 10.5 Assists a game on 43% and 36%
His ranking in the catch all numbers are pretty favorable as well WS/48 : 26th BPM : 19th RAPTOR : 13th TPA : 29th
I like the song they play at home when the 76ers win. They actually start before it ticks to 0. I wish the Rockets had wins or a cool song.
Yet folks in this forum argued me to death when I dared to say we needed him to shoot mid range to beat the Warriors …
