Harden is playing an outstanding floor game this first half Joe Harris and Kyrie are incredible as well
Washington is unwatchable, and they are stuck with washed Russ because there is no way in hell a team is taking him now unless u attach 3 picks at least this is Westbrook’s 08-09 T-Mac season...it’s all downhill from here
he did a good job on Harden, but at the end of the day, Harden still averaged 30 on really good percentages and excellent efficiency in that series against OKC
I’d argue it’s even worse than T-Mac’s 08-09 season. We actually got back decent assets in the T-Mac trade: Kevin Martin Jordan Hill Jared Jeffries Hilton Armstrong
The notion that Dort defended Harden exceptionally well is not a myth but rather a fact easily proven by data. Harden avg 30 on excellent efficiency during that series and Dort shutting him down during that series isn't mutually exclusive. The rockets actively and routinely hunt out mismatches for Harden by forcing opponents to switch via screening. Versus OKC they were even more intent to get Dort switched off Harden. The result? Though Harden had immense difficulties scoring on Dort, he killed other Thunder defenders, especially Adams, Shroeder and SGA.
He is getting more creative in finding ways to make his team lose. Oh wait! Maybe now they have a chance to win
That me vs everybody bullshit ,Russ has been on since Durant left his ass, has finally manifested....
