Well, KD finally brought his A game, and when he does he is unstoppable. Will he do it again tonight? If he would do it more consistently I would give him due credit as a top player, but he always has put himself into a position in which he doesn't have to. Let's see if he brings it two games in a row, because now the team needs him to do it. I hope James gets healthier. He wants to play and I respect that, but watching him it's obvious that he shouldn't be playing yet. Let KD do his thing for a couple of games, and hopefully James can come back and be strong in the final stages.
as bad as Harden shot, I think by playing he helped the team more than he hurt them he played 2nd most minutes with 46, 2nd highest BPM +/- for starters, 3rd in FTA's, 2nd with 8 assists, 2rd in rebounds, having Harden on the floor ensures that KD doesn't get double teamed it will be a disaster to have shamet and brown start with mike james and tyler subbing. KD will be double teamed every single possession.
speaks to the fear and respect that Harden commands that even when nowhere near 100% and basically playing on 1 leg, they still put Jrue on him the entire game, and Jrue never left him even when Harden wasn’t involved in the play they even double teamed 1 legged Harden a few times
yeah harden on one leg still brings the ball up, still runs the offense, and most importantly, let's KD be KD. mike james on two legs does none of that.
yet we still have posters on here doubting harden's value to the nets. It speaks volume of how important he is to be needed to play 46 mins to give the Nets a solid chance of victory.
Predicting the bucks take this game to force a game 7. Durant comes back down to earth. Bucks attack harden on defense.
Harden with 3 unforced lazy turnovers in the first couple minutes. Explain how his hamstring has anything to do with that again?
