LOL....have oyu looked at Hardens shooting percentages...he was a consistant threat? I dont think so.
I don't know. I watch him play and a lot of the time, I feel like he 'chooses' to not score 20 ppg. He'd rather get his team involved. It is why he can turn it on in the 4th. I am pretty confident that if CP3 needed to score 20 ppg (but not get as many assists or something), he could. Sort of like how Nash is a bullseye shooter but often does not take the shot, sorta.
Eh, kinda different scenario. Nash was almost never there, is old and injured. Kobe played great, but was just injured. Injuries and early chemistry were the problem, but I mean, if they had kept their post all star record going for all yr, they would have been what, 3rd or 4th seed in the west? Who knows...and that is w/ a team full of really old players that could barely stay on the court
I'm not saying he can't, but it's just not how he operates, if he was on a team like Howard, Harden, Parsons, he'd probably be putting up Stockton like numbers, 15/13 sort of thing.
I agree w/ this sentiment. I took something different from your claim that he wasn't a 'natural scorer' -- I guess in a way he isn't; he doesn't PREFER scoring, but I like my PGs that way
When I think of natural scorer, I think of players who naturally look to score, and play make as an alternative, Harden is one of those, so is Durant, so is Kobe, etc etc, Paul is someone who looks to create and scores as an alternative to that, it's not that he can't, it's just not his natural inclination. (Lebron is a bit of a freak in that regard, he's probably the closest thing to being an either/or/both guy)
Well technically, I imagine that lineup could PnR a team to death if they kept at it for a really, really long time.
He got to the line.....he shot poorly from the field...second half of the season it bordered dreadful. He an overrated player. Many better scorers in the NBA....hes not top 20
he started taking more and hitting more 3 pointers, his free throws barely changed, but don't let that interrupt you....
Are you new at this? I find it amusing that you pretend to be a Harden Fan, even using his name, but all your posts are supporting Lin and criticizing Harden. If you want to be a LOF secret agent at least do a better job at it., your trolling is not subtle at all.
