Who cares? I care more about his TS%, his points, assists, rebounds, TOs, his health, our win-loss record. I don't want him to get too tired so early in the season. Didn't Morey express concern about the heavy minutes of starters? I'm sure he's told the coaches to expand the rotation.
Keep in mind Lebron is at 3.1 In fact there seems to be a very strong correlation between minutes played and this stat.
lol despite the trollish intro, the info is actually interesting. he does seem like a low energy guy. he never cuts either and usually stands around.
WHOA THATS SUPER GROSS. He needs some special shoes man. It looks like the front of his toes mash against the front of his shoe. I had tha tproblem for my kobes because it was a little too big for my feet, so whe nI drive and stop, my foot slides forward and my toes get mashed to the front...bu tno where nearly as bad as Hardens...fking hobbit Yeah he will DEF have problems later on if he doesn't manage this early in his career...
Personally I think the distance data is skewed because Harden has been playing on injured feet. I'd be interested to see what it looks like mid-season though...
Not sure if serious. I mean I love Vernon Maxwell for his role in the first championship and all, but you said it with "never consistent". Let's not allow nostalgia to cloud reality. There was a reason why we traded for Clyde Drexler in 1995. And when you say "always showed up for games that matter", I assume you are intentionally ignoring the fact that he walked out on the team after game 1 of the 1995 playoffs? Harden definitely needs to improve on defense, but he is already 5x the offensive player that Maxwell ever was. Maxwell was never an all star in his entire career.
Everyone using the injury excuse might be fooling themselves. Harden showed us all last season he plays lazy on defense. Was he injured then too? I also don't like the fact he's blown off McHale when plays are called. James just seems selfish. Lazy defense by your best player is a horrible example for the rest of the team and shows a lack of leadership.
he played decent defense in the preseason (where half assing is usually at its peak) and solid d til his feet first got hurt against utah, then it all went to the ****ter.
