I don't think someone "decided" to go ISO the last few games. We've been playing the same way we have all year. In Phoenix, we lost because of ****ty defense, not "iso."
Beverly needs more minutes. No way you take Beverly out of the rotation. McHale should dump Garcia from the rotation.
agreed. he hasnt had may chances yet to prove he is clutch. better yet, would Lin fall in the same category as anticlutch as well because he isn't proven?

he forces things too much on the offensive end, his iso isnt that great when compared with allen iverson, kobe and t-mac, he should stop doing that, the rockets are trying to pad his stats but its getting ugly, on the other hand he can play decent defense if it comes down to it he did a good job guarding kobe in the playoffs last year, he wud be a really good all rounder putting up some lebron stats if hed stop playing iso all the time
http://mysynergysports.com/ James Harden - Isolation FG% = 35% Lebron James - Isolation FG% = 49% Kobe Bryant - Isolation FG% = 41% Everyone rides on Kobe because he's so inefficient and is killing his team due to bad isolation. If Kobe is killing his team single-handedly (which he is), then Mr. Harden is committing a capital crime against his team especially if he's shooting at such a high clip. Are you telling me 35% shooting is "efficient"? LOL. That's like getting 3.5 buckets for every 10 tries. Not to mention the Turnovers in between those attempts. HARDEN IS NOT LEBRON. Not by a galactic light year.
I wonder what fg% on iso plays Melo has. I'm no Melo fan, but I will tell you this, Melo is leaps and bounds better than Harden with respect to ISO plays.
This is an atrocious way to use stats and Synergy. Points per possession? You basically ignore fouls and extra points from 3s.
From Bodybuilding.com: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=145676741&page=1 We already knew Lin was overrated.
He's only good when he gets to the line. He's only a star when the refs treat him like a star and give him those calls.
Harden's tired, u guys completely forget the monster first 60 games he had this yr. guy was crazy efficient. It all comes down to wear and tear, new to this many minutes and bigger load on his sholders. He's been banged up his explosiveness has taken a hit. He's not bad at all the guy is a monster on offense and does so many things great. Dont forget he's 23 and new to this role. He's not even close to his prime yet he'll be much better next yr and much better the following yrs. he's going to hit the gym and work on his craft. Hardens the one player on our team I'm not worried about he's a gamer and wants to be the best. He's a real young franchise player and we have him on our team.
I wish Harden could finish stronger. You look at Westbrooke and Durant...wow...those guys can finish so well.
everyone, come on, what is there to be upset about, its OKC. I thought harden played fine tonight given the circumstances, he moved the ball reasonably well and attacked when space was there...this is an absolutely hellacious thunder team with 3 of the best athletes at their respective positions. Lin and Parsons played alot worse than harden. Just gotta regroup, simplify plays, and limit turnovers. (see bro: I can be the voice of reason)
so clutch means you make every gamewinning/tying shot you ever take.. lol smh.. what about the dagger 3 to beat the spurs in the playoffs, the layup to close the series against mavs. what about the games he was single-handedly putting away early in he season against detroit and atlanta...
You need to take a break & stop posting cause you are looking foolish. Harden had a poor series in MIA in his first finals appearance at age 22. Lin poor game in his first finals game at age 24. Chill.
Harden was awesome, but something happened to him during the regular season and he stopped being awesome. I knew the Rockets were going to get smoked in the playoffs if Harden didn't find his groove before the regular season ended and he didn't. I can't say he's overrated because much of his game relies on whether or not the refs are giving him every call?
Unfortunately for your agenda, Harden doesn't actually isolate very often and he's the most efficient shooting guard in the league.
