Yup. Capela had three alley oops yesterday. Big men can't help on Harden without giving that up. And if they stick on Capela? Well, Harden also had three floaters. I'm surprised at how cleanly we're running that pick and roll, since we didn't run it so well the past couple of years. I think Anderson spacing the floor helps a lot, plus Dwight set some weak ass screens.
James Harden as the most complete offensive player in the league? There's an argument for it. It's down to Durant, Harden and Steph. For the moment, KD and Steph are better shooters than Harden. Harden's been lights out, but KD and Steph have done it over a longer period of time so you have to give them the edge. Curry has the best handles out of the three. Surely this can't be disputed? Harden is the best finisher through traffic, but each are great. Harden uses his physicality, Steph is keenly aware of where the rim is and can use his touch and utilise angles off the glass to get the result. KD can use his length. Harden WANTS to get hit though, that's a key separator here. His toughness makes it extra hard to stop him. I think Harden and Curry both have great court vision. Curry is an underutilized passer imo. He's not asked to be the sole distributor, especially when his shot is twice the weapon his passing is. That's how good a shooter he is. KD and Harden are better rim attackers, again they're more welcoming of the hit that's coming. Harden especially. Curry's more likely to settle for a soft floater or pull up but when he gets in that space he can still get the bucket. He's crafty. Just glad Harden is finally getting the recognition he deserves.
