Even in a game thread that has no relationship to harden whatsoever, asiansensation still finds a way to btch about harden. The man's hate boner for harden is so strong it's impressive. This was a good game, i think Hayes getting ejected for that dumbass move cost his team a winnable game.
Oh just like clock work here you are again posting shortly after I post without @ tagging me. If you wanna talk shiit do it right instead of being a whiny little beeotch. Probably learned your passive aggressive traits from your bum loser hero.
nice find, thanx Analitics fans, so you cant really play in modern nba if you cant shoot 3s and werent athletic? TAKA THAT FOR DATA
dumbalytics department, i need an explanation did the laws of statistics took a break tonight or this a small sample size?
Chris Paul only shot 32% from 3 so what did he do? He limited his attempts to 3 per game and focused on his strengths. James Harden shoots 33% from 3 and what did he do? Proceeds to jack up 7 a game going full on Walker mode.
but @jordnnnn or @roslolian told me (or it was someone else, forgive me guys for my memory giving me out on this one) if someone wins shooting midrange that only means the team won not because of him but despite him taking those shots, because he should have proceeded to take the more efficient shot namely 3s
Not sure if thats me or not. Regardless outliers exist in every data set. There are some people who are ok taking mid range shots like Jalen Green, De Mar and apparently Cp3 I guess I havent really been paying attention to him since he got traded. It's like Zuckerberg dropping out of college to become a billionaire. There's prob more than 100 college dropout billionaires out there by now can you then say dropping out of college is a good way to become a billionaire? Mid range shots still suck and a big reason majority of the empty stat stars in the lesgue never became good players like Rudy Gay and Melo.
I dunno why everyone is talking about Cp3, the real reason the Suns won is De Andre Ayton. I been saying the dude is easily worth the max and people didnt believe me. The guy had 28 pts on 65% fg and 17 rebs, 3 stls and ast in just 38 mins of play. He aint a stiff on the perimeter he reminds me a lot of a young Dwight but a lot more skilled in terms of post scoring.
I don’t disagree Ayton put in work but maybe cause it was a 2 point game heading into the 4th and CP3 dropped 19 in the 4th to close the game out and Ayton didn’t score.
The 1 thing that is not talked about enough, especially with bigs is foul drawing. At his best, Dwight was shooting 10+ free throws a game; Ayton around 2. Ayton shot 1 free throw last night. For me, that is one of the factors that would make it difficult for me to max him out. Suns will probably do it and suffer or get killed for not doing it.
Chris Paul is just such a beast. I almost wish he would retire just so I don't have to constantly be reminded of the disaster
To be fair, it's not like teams had no choice but to foul Dwight. I think you're forgetting how the 'hack-a-" strategy was a very real thing. Fouling Dwight vs fouling someone like Embiid is night and day...and Ayton is more like Embiid, in that regard. Ayton should absolutely be maxed. He's not offensively inept like Gobert. In fact, if Ayton got a Gobert-like contract, I wouldn't question it. Dude is young, has great defensive IQ and can score. He was the biggest question, with news of Booker's injury. We all know what CP3 can do...but when the pressure's on, can Ayton do more than usual? And he did.
