    To your point, Harden led his teams to a win less than half to total games against similar stars and only 1/3 of playoff games so clearly I'm forgetting some clutch moments but it sucked to know you were likely to lose those big games and generally being right about it. Hard to give the man his flowers when he came through that infrequently.

    I get that people remember bad stuff way more strongly and longer than good stuff, but have you looked at Harden's numbers for the playoffs? Sure you can argue he didn't improve his season totals like Hakeem or Jordan, but they are still better than all but 3-4 of the superstars of his time. He also played most of those games with significantly less help and with heavy minutes every game to boot. The one year that he HAD proper superstar help, CP3 got injured. You think if he was like LBJ or Curry and constantly played with multiple all-stars (usually in their prime) that his numbers wouldn't look better or that he would have the fresh legs to perform better in those bad games you remembered?

    So he takes decent shots, he just can't shoot.

    Those early games where Green was the facilitator will come in handy. Let him run the PnR with Sengun. Amen starts. But please no Holiday.

    That a Mikal Bridges trade is potentially getting our own version of Ant.

    Jalen plus picks, DO IT!

    He talks like he learned his first word just a minute ago. Mumbles like a sped in interviews acts like a shy virgin who needs a little convincing for her first blowjob. Awkwardsly keeps rubbing his face as if he just woke up. Listening to him it feels like even he doesn't give a damn about what he is talking about. Like he's criticizing Ime but the situation doesn't really bother him enough to take an action against him. He's not going to bang Ime's door and talk to him about it. He's not mad about it he's just mildly annoyed and you can rest assured that he will not let it ruin his day. He is lucky that i wasn't in his class in his elementary school i'd bully him into becoming a cam w**** femboy.

    Nothing stands out because JGreen was a below average shooter coming into the league and stayed a below average shooter......

    There are no surprises.....other than he never improved and regressed.

    I wish Alperen was a better shooter though already.
