    So with Harden, it's basically either a 3 pointer or a layup. I'll take it.

    Did you know that Kmart and Harden basically put out the same amount of offensive efficiency percentage? They just do it differently. Only Kmart did it predominately against Starters and Harden did it against other teams benches.

    So other teams bench players play 30 minutes a game and finish the game in the 4th quarter.

    You are ignorant. This is not a personal attack but just a statement of fact.

    LinMVP is 100% trolling, lol. His statements aren't even close to reality, but lets keep on feeding the troll.

    I only write facts.
    Kevin Martin career TS%: .595
    James Hardin career TS%: .606

    Biggest difference: Martin did is as first option with much more shots, Harden did it against benches.

    I think that is a myth that will soon be debunked. I don't have the energy to look up all of the stats; however, Harden was in almost every game during the last 6 minutes of the game. That my friend, is when it is most crucial.

    Kevin Martin did all of his work in the first 6 minutes of the game, while Harden did all of his work in the last 6.

    That is something that the chart above doesn't reflect.

    Kevin Martin is a great show opener. Harden is a great closer.

    Who do you want?

    Yes, because coaches rely on Grantland and ClutchFans for their data, they don't have any own staff/experts for that. Shame on the OP for making our opponents stronger.

    I love Lin, but man, there is no need for this.

    You can compare Kevin Martin's first 3 years in the NBA vs James Harden (spell him right, have the courtesy) and see where the stat stands.

    Just as we know Lin has a lot of potential to improve further at 24, Harden already reached 66% TS in his third year and is still only 23, whereas those are Martin's numbers for his career.

    There is no need to bring down other curent Rockets players to make Lin look better. It's a team game, the better the players around Lin, the better the team performs. And Lin cares more about winning than his own stats.

    We watched KMart play here the last three seasons.

    Believe the eye test--he cannot carry a team. He plays soft, not someone who strikes fear in opponents. He 's grown less effective scoring with contact. He cannot create; he needs a lot of screens to score. And he disappears in the 4th. He's not ball-dominant though. He will make quick decisions whether it's to shoot or pass off.

    Harden > KMart
