been out of the 1st round only a few times last year got swept by the juggernaut Pelicans averaging 19, 5, and 5 on 35% shooting, but ok... shooting percentages of 40 from the field, 35% from 3, and 89% in the playoffs for his career with stats much worse than Harden’s... Harden is going up against the 2nd best defensive team in the NBA right now that has to change their defense in order to put all of their focus on stopping him
yet another year of the "thunder are built for the playoffs" narrative shown to be woefully incorrect.
yeah we knew Westbrook was overrated all along, but the real question is what is Harden going to do? if Harden chokes again in the playoffs, there's a real possibility that some people will put Lillard over Harden. His stock is at an alltime high right now
http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/26500537/expert-predictions-first-round-2019-nba-playoffs lmao, only 1 person picked Portland to win this series, and look at all those HOU in 6 or 7 predictions against Utah...clueless
Results does not tell the whole story. OKC fked up again. Blazers are still not 4-1 better than OKC as inconsistent as that team is. 4-3 or 4-2. Dame was one step ahead of everyone else in that series.
Regardless of Portland’s results usually(last year excluded) dame shows tf up. We can’t do the team thing for our guy but say it’s only on dame for Portland. Dude usually goes to another level
That’s nice but I’ll still take Dame. Y’all put way too much stock in percentages sometimes. We will revisit this when Golden state slaps the rockets next round.
OKC need to do what they have to and get oj 'juice' mayo. I don't care what they have to do to get a JUICE Mayo. They need players on the team to help!
lol what happened last year? and the year before that, and the year before that, and the year before that?
Way too much stock? Lol, Dame’s play usually falls off big time come the postseason, it’s just that he’s in Portland so nobody cares. GS slaps Portland around like they’re the Clippers so what’s your point?
recency bias is so funny playoff Dame, lol...I didn’t hear a damn thing about playoff Dame being so amazing until last night...people are gonna act like he hasn’t easily been worse than Harden in the postseason for his career
Huh? Dame usually goes down a tier when the playoffs start. Dame’s consistently been booty cheeks or nothing special, and nah, we can’t just be excluding last year. If Harden ever did something like that, we wouldn’t hear the end of it. He showed up in the 1st round against OKC so props to him, he had to redeem himself for last year’s embarrassment. 14-15 playoffs: 22, 4, and 5 on 40/16/78 shooting splits 15-16 playoffs: 27, 4, and 6 on 37/39/91 splits 16-17 playoffs: 28, 4, and 3 on 43/28/96 splits 17-18 playoffs: 19, 5, and 5 on 37/30/88 splits That’s showing tf up? If that’s always showing up then Harden is MJ or playoff Bron in comparison.
