    Mason Jones and I am taking the kid in that situation over Harden. Harden cant even move his feet to receive an inbound pass when its money time.

    It would have been a blowout with both Harden and Wood in the mid 30's.

    The PnR and the corner 3 were there for the taking tonight.

    And Harden is much more effective defending 1-5 than either Dipo or Wall so the switch everything defense would have been just as effective.

    Im know advanced metrics....AND seeing whats happening on the court. Im not disputing the numbers. Tucker has never had a season like this until SILAS became the coach and Harden has left. He's much better than these stats are indicating. Some of it is decline but a lot of it is the system. We have reduced corner threes a lot. The stats are showing that pretty much Tucker and Wall are the worst players on the team. And I know that's not true. Tucker is great defensively. But what I keep telling you is that the team as a whole is not going to be that much better when he leaves.

    We will be playing like that when Tucker leaves. This team doesnt have a high potential offensively.

    And for this game specifically, Tucker's defense was instrumental and that is why he played so many minutes.

    You bring up Harden in every single post. Are you hurt?

    Harden would have to try, so that's the difference.

    Were you at the capitol riots?

    Stop believing the Big Lie.

    At least stop spreading it.

    Harden played 45 minutes the other night and was the reason Nets beat the Hawks in a close game, statistically he is the most clutch in the 4th.

    It was the same when he played for the Rockets but dont let facts get in the way.

    but he cant move his feet to receive an inbound pass... how many games we lost just because he was lazy... he was a liability in so many clutch situations... just a slow brain and slow feet

    Do you work for Harden's PR department? You really should be getting paid for this.

    hes on 2 way contract so his playing would up his value and hurt the real contract negotiations... hes better than half the guys on the roster but no pt due to that imho

    So leading NBA in assists or leading in scoring 3 straight seasons is not hard?

    LOL

    Especially per you, he was doing so by not moving at all.

    You guys just set yourself up to look silly.

    Stop pushing these crazy fantasy conspiracy theories as fact just because you've repeated this story over and over in your minds and your posts.

    You have actually brainwashed yourselves to believe this BS.
