apparently the 2-month span you spent here b****ing at anyone who questioned the pending collapse and catastrophe of the proposed bubble was not just a sleepy phase or triggered hysteria you were experiencing. sadly it now appears, you truly are just that dumb. and in the same vein of brainless idiocy, you fail to notice my previous post was mocking barkley, who it turns out, is amazingly even less low-IQ than yourself.
How did you calculate these stats? Are you looking at the exhibition games too? Because Hardens stats over the games that count are actually even better than what you posted here.
Those were only regular season but were prior to the last game. Here's the link if you want to slice and dice. https://stats.nba.com/players/tradi...SeasonType=Regular Season&DateFrom=06/01/2020
harden has the talent, but he doesnt have the narrative behind him pushing him. Right now lillard has the narrative behind him, he has a storyline that the nba can back. I dont know how marketable it would be to see harden in the finals for adam silver
Is it really an inferior team? Look at that squad without the stats and record and that’s a strong team. Lillard is balling right now and if they make it in I would be shocked if they don’t give “the hairline” and “the brow” a real threat of early vacation time.
Coach of the Bubble: Monty Williams MVP Bubble: Damian Lillard (unanimous) All-Bubble First Team: Damian Lillard Devin Booker Luka Dončić James Harden T.J. Warren All-Bubble Second Team Giannis Antetokounmpo Kawhi Leonard Kristaps Porzingis Caris LeVert Michael Porter Jr.
I only meant that they were inferior compared to the Rockets. And even then, the difference isn't huge. As for them giving the Lakers trouble, I agree. I never thought this Lakers team was that great.
Based on his numbers and the fact he led all players in PIPM during the bubble, Harden should have won bubble MVP and have easily been named to this list by ESPN (thankfully, the NBA named him to the all-bubble first team instead of Giannis). Giannis only played starters‘ minutes in four of eight bubble games, and the Bucks went 3-5.
So, the player that averaged 35 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals per game on 54% from the field and led all players in PIPM doesn’t get any first or place bubble MVP votes? Yeah, there’s no agenda against James Harden from the NBA.
Is this official? NBA must of been scrambling hard after seeing the public outcry of ESPN leaving Harden off the initial list that was leaked. Despite this, these voters were high as a kite not giving Harden even ONE first or second place vote for bubble MVP. But I do see that the narrative MVP is nowhere to be found. And Janice has not performed at MVP level leading up to the playoffs. LOL
