30/5/5 on 70% TS in his last 8 games. 11.8 FTA on 16.4 FGA in that strech, a FTR of .72


that Harden guy is pretty good.
No he isn't.



Is he a good player? Yes. Elite? not even close. Put someone that can actually play D on him and he gets shut down
Seriously?

31 points on 13 attempts while playing 30 minutes against Tony Allen, one of the best if not the best perimeter defender in the league, and a top 4 defense in the Grizzlies.

Lakers-Warriors game was amazing, glad I turned it on and left it on at the beginning of the 4th.


ps. Hi.
I really hate this.


Who cares. One game? Who cares. Regular season? Who cares.






Honestly.


Who cares.


Do it in the playoffs? Get to a championship game? I'll call him elite

Seriously? Are you just going to argue and blatantly ignore facts? Harden has had these kind of performances for 25 games so far this year. He's shooting the exact same percentage that he did in OKC with twice the number of attempts and twice the number of assists that he had in OKC. He's now the primary focus of every defense that they play with no Durant or Westbrook to spread the floor. He's put up numbers of many premier defenses where he gets funneled into help and shot-blockers but still either scores or sets up a team mate for an easy basket. It's not like he has gotten insane from 3 point range like OJ Mayo has this year and is inflating his numbers because he only averages 2 made 3's a game.

I feel like you're forgetting that there are not many great 2's in the NBA atm. You have Kobe and Wade as the only two that are in the same conversation with Harden. But you would also have to maybe watch Harden with the Rockets to fairly compare him with someone like Kobe.

I'm just going to disregard the "playoffs/championship game" comment because plenty of elite players haven't done squat in the postseason and are still elite and the ones that do are surrounded by other good to elite talent most of the time. KG made it past the first round....once before getting paired with Pierce and Allen. T-Mac made it past the first round...never. Melo made it past the first round....once. The list goes on and on.

For the record, I'm not a huge Harden fan either and I expected him to be a fringe all-star without Durant/Westbrook, but I dont discount the impact that he has had this season.

yes Harden is not elite despite posting 25 a game at 60%TS with horrible spacing that allows teams to trap him hard because Houston is so bad offensively outside of him.


he has a 114 ORTG despite playing on a shit team having to play 40 minutes a night. Once Houston gets a good pick and roll big man like Collison was his turnovers will go down, and his ORTG will go even higher.


imo, OKC goofed by giving Westbrook so much USG% right off the bat, and not scaling it back when a superior player appeared. Durant's USG% should always be 30+, but Westbrook/Harden's should of been ~23%/~27% respectively. I can't fault the FO/coaching staff for doing it though, rookies almost always get USG% they're not ready for, but later adjust to.

there are plenty of interesting teams to watch this season, just like there is every year. just because boston has the 8th seed right now doesnt mean you need to be emo and cry that the nba is boring this year.

lol? Did I offend you or something? I could care less how the celtics are doing.. as long as we make it into the playoffs then it's whatever. I apologize for posting my simple opinion didn't realize it was going to get your panties in a bunch. The reason I wrote this was mainly because my interests have shifted to football as of late. Basketball just seems boring to me now. It has nothing to do with how my team is doing.

Emo...lol grow up

basketball can seem boring to you, and thats fine. implying that there are no good teams to watch this year in comparison to the past few years is just...wrong.

When I said that the nba sucks this year my point was not that there are no "good" teams..Clearly there is an array of new talent throughout the league. clippers, Knicks, Golden State, Memphis, etc.. It's just that none of these teams hold my interest. David Stern needs to step down so the nba can move forward and grow. Between him and the refs the league has just gone to shit. imo.

How is David Stern keeping the league from moving forward and growing? How is a new commissioner going to piqued your interest? And finally, as a Celtic fan, how are you complaining about the referees?

Well I guess you did say it was a simple opinion.

No, i am not normally allowed anywhere near Remedy and Aqua's NBA thread, but in the interest of grammar perfection, it's "piqued", not peeked, or peaked. -my interest.

it's not like okc got ripped off, kevin martin is a quality guard (and a more explosive scorer than harden) and jeremy lamb was a great young player to pick up. the only thing that'll be missed will be harden's playmaking abilities, but that doesn't really matter with eric maynor coming back from a torn ACL
hehe

I'm surprised you didn't bold the part about Maynor and playmaking abilities as well.
