Late response but as for the nuggets chances againist those rockets teams. Watching the tape it was way worse than I even remember. harden was mentally destroying jokic in the pick and roll lol. Luka is not as clever in the pick and roll as harden. He is good in the pnr but won’t spam **** over and definitely not as good in isolation Nobody on the nuggets would be able to contain harden. Euro bigs are like bbq chicken to prime harden. I remember one ex player came out and said that harden loves embarrassing euros on the perimeter
"racism" that's laughable what i dont understand is the largely white owned sports media's UNPROVOKED constant racist( yes... i said racist) attacks againist harden throughout his entire career. From the mavs announcer early this year, to colin cowherd, to nick wright, to etc.. to people like rob mahoney. i will probably venture to guess that harden hasnt met a single one of these clowns in his life. But somehow these woke losers have the ability to vote on all-nba and all-star selections and people are wondering why the boston celtics owner put the team up for sale just weeks after winning the title. Mark Cuban has probably the most talented young player in the game outside of wemby and he sold his stake in the mavs too.. but back on topic funny how when the darkskin brotha is being bullied nobody wants to say ****, but as soon as steph or luka get bullied its because they are lightskin or its anti-euro racism foh.
He's lucky he doesn't play for Pop. LAWD that can't even be called Defense. That was just being on the court.
Luka is worse at defense, that shouldn’t be a surprise, though they share similarities. Offense is likely a wash.
I do think he is cruising on Defense compared to Harden. You see less of gassed Luka in postseason and Dallas record is pretty bad to the extent that they play catchup every year. The difference is Luka intentionally doesn't treat Regular Season as if it was important whereas Harden thrives in regular season. Also how do you keep a Euro fit who looks like 280 pounds.
That's called "The Harden" I think we've all learned that one highlight (or a dozen) does not define a player, though
That was surprisingly more DeMarcus Cousins. https://www.espn.com/nba/draft2010/news/story?id=5208799
luka cant sniff harden lol.. he is basically using hardens style from houston and yeilding worse results.. his impact is closer to prime wesbrook
LOL Harden has choked multiple times at least Luka went to the Finals as the main guy. Played injured too on that finals run. I dunno what you mean by worse results Luka already achieved more than Harden at 26 yrs old. When has Luka ever lost to a worse team in the playoffs? Oh wait that has never happened whereas thats almost a common occurrence to Harden. Luka already has 2 close out series against tougher seeds Harden never has 1 one and he is washed already. Harden lost to Spurs without Kawhi and GSW without half their team in 2019. Also got Dame timed when he was playing with Dwight. Its a big joke to compare Luka and Harden tbh. I guess you can argue Harden put up better stats in the regular season which is the Harden special.
James Harden has a career 64% win percentage in the playoffs for his career in games that scott foster DOESNT officiate for him. Which matches up perfectly with Hardens 65% career regular season win percentage. In playoff games that Scott Foster refs involving teams that Harden is on, Harden is i think 2-15!!! So Harden has the most total wins in the league since his rookie year with i believe 704 wins, and i just told you that hardens win percentage in all games period is only 2nd to like Lebron among active players. So how is Scott Foster the only common denominator so much to the point that Harden is 2-15 in the playoff games that he is involved in.. Oh and btw yes Foster was also the lead ref in the 2018 wcf in both game 1 and game 7( which turned out to be 2 home playoff losses). You dont think the nba was aware of that As for Luka, Harden just a couple of months ago really totally outplayed Luka so much so that they had Luka bringing up the injury excuse and being "sick" prior to game 5, while praising his "improved defense" before game 4.. shrugs. Whatever the case if not for Kyries brillance that series would have gone to game 7 THIS IS THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO IN THE PLAYOFFS
