    James made some errors but overall seem to give them a boost. Durant was all time great though, WHAT A PERFORMANCE!

    This is the list and it has players ranked by their ORtg.

    I am not confused, you used ORtg to say that Hardens game 7 was not that good, I then looked at the carrer rankings and found out that metric is not kind to some HOF players and the person who is considered the GOAT only ranks 19th on that list.

    No it's not like only looking at 3P% its using the metric that YOU deemed worthy to judge what Harden did.

    So either the metric is suspect or you think Harden has had better playoff runs than Hakeem and that 18 other people have had better playoffs that Jordan.

    Here is the list.

    Who knew that Clint was an all time playoff performer?

    Yes, you are confused. I cited both ORtg AND Usg. I’ve repeatedly explained that you have to look at both efficiency and possession usage in combination.

    He actually nullified their 2nd best defensive player in Holiday, he never came of of him.

    I was surprised that they did not have somebody else check him or rotate off him.

    You said that usage was a part of ORtg and do you think the guys I named like Jordan and Hakeem had low usage rates?

    Your flailing my guy.

    I see people complaining about this.....do they not realize thats what the nets defense is designed to do? Its the same switching scheme the rockets used. The bucks have been one of the best offenses in the league and all i see is people talking about what the bucks aren't doing instead of giving the nets defense its props.

    Are you aware that Jordan/Olajuwon played in a slower paced era with less scoring and different rules?

    Your critical thinking is atrocious.

    Semifinals.

    Paul's 1st time in the conference finals was with Harden.

    Booker is that guy.

    Paul is not the best player on that team.

    Booker might be the best scorer on their team but all of what they're doing is being led by all nba cp3. i couldn't careless who folks consider who is the best. They're being led by cp3 and everyone has bought in. and they're in the wcf. simple as that

    They won 11 out of their last 12 games last season with Ricky Rubio. What they are doing has mostly to do with their young stars maturing. Booker is their best player.

    Booker is only their best player on the boxscore…when it comes to impact, it’s CP3

    so what. They were 13 games under .500 prior to the bubble. and they've been terrible for years prior. There's a much bigger sample size saying the suns have been bad for a very long time. going 8-0 in the playoffs and btw not playing the playoffs, changes nothing to dispel that

    meainwhile cp3 led thunder who were thought to be a lottery team are right in the middle of 4th seed in the west

    I expect him to play better in the game 6, so the Nets do have a chance to win it if Harris can make a few shots.
