Is it Harden "hate" to point out that the next best players after Harden were Dwight and Ariza, not Jones/Smith?
It forces opponents to the bench and put your team in the bonus faster. Drawing a defensive foul and missing both free throws is much better than...
And yet we just saw Marcus Smart win DPOY over Gobert....
Eh, if this were the case, Harden should've won an MVP in 2015. Curry had marginally better numbers, but Harden led the Rockets to the #2 seed...
If this historical precedent is irrelevant to you, then the award itself should be irrelevant to you.
I get it, but I'm going by historical precedent (with one glaring exception).
Exactly. This is why it's more difficult to win X number of games in the East compared to the West. So he's significantly inferior at offense...
Yes, there's more parity in the EC. That means, as a whole, the EC is stronger than the WC. In other words, it's tougher to win X number of...
And how many of those wins were against tanking teams? How many of those wins had outlier performances by Maxey that he'd be unable to sustain on...
Look at the standings. The West has 7 teams below .500; the East has 5. Harris plays more minutes. If you want to say that Harris is better...
Because team record has always (except for Westbrook) been the gatekeeper. Before Westbrook, when's the last time an MVP came from a team outside...
Philly won 3 more games in a tougher conference. And without Embiid, Phlly would have Curry/Drummond instead of Harden. I don't know that Tobias...
Look at Philly's roster outside of Embiid. Would they win 15 games in the stronger eastern conference? Their starting lineup would've been...
Which posters predicted abject failure?
The problem here is that you're seeing criticisms of Harden when none have been made.
Not really. I'd prefer the attention went to the exceedingly low bar that jordnnnn set for Harden. Carry on.
Not really a bold prediction.....Philly didn't have a point guard. Most of the point guards in the league would've had a positive impact in Philly.
Sorry, I was simply trying to educate you about Gobert and rotating defense......since you were critical about him leaving Kleber open. It didn't...
Scared to engage. Understandable.
Not sure how you want me to respond to your childish snark. He was clearly rotating to protect the basket. I guess the question is, what do you...
