that's what we're gonna find out next season, but Harden did get a little complacent last year with dating Kardashian and not getting into shape...
Last year WB was a better player sure, but I'm saying he wasn't all that effective leading his team in 14-15 w/o Durant. Many players were out...
In 14-15 season, Westbrook played 40 games w/o Durant and had 22-18 record. When WB & Durant both played, OKC went 18-9. When WB &...
I mean if anybody deserves a super team it's Harden. When was the last time he played with a legit superstar? But I agree with you, this was one...
Welcome 14-15 Westbrook :) [IMG] Maybe a scoring champ (with 40~41 FG%), but a MVP? with Durant and Ibaka gone? that's a long shot.

Harden's DRPM is as bad as his defensive reputation? smh. Now I know you don't even have the basic knowledge on this issue.
no, bring me the numbers which proves Harden's is as bad a defender as his reputation suggests. You can easily find one for Ryan Anderson, Damian...
bring me the numbers
The funny thing is Harden bashers never use these types of fact based argument when they rail against Harden's 'supposedly' atrocious defense,...
A little off topic, but that website has some really interesting stats that I've never come across before. Nice find, OP.
