You see how dominant he can be though in stretches. And in transition you can literally forget about it :snoop:

In transition he's a nightmare...but in the half court hes easy to defend...if he had a jumper he'd be a 25-30 ppg guy and be a dominant player...


You saw tonight in the 4th quarter late other than that layup he was ineffective..cuz we took away his lanes and he can't shoot..

If Jabari can continue to improve his 3pt shot though :patrice: I agree even LeBron at his most LeBrick stages was at least ATTEMPTING to air it out from midrange or the occasional pull up 3 to keep the defense honest. That being said this guy is just a kid who shows flashes of insane brilliance. He's gonna figure it out. I saw that Jabari has hit more 3s this year than he had his first 2 seasons combined or something like that so they've got good shooting coaches out there.

You see the last 2 shots he hit to close this game? :patrice: I don't even know how you could have defended them better

The last one even had Giannis come over on the double :patrice:
You can't. :manny:

I said it the other day after the Rockets game - you can see just how effective his offensive game is compared to Harden's.

He's a reliable jumpshot from being unguardable and probably being a top 5 player...

I don't know if I wanna be part of this Harden shytting on campaign :patrice:

I don't think DeRozan is a better player than Harden but as a scorer yes DeMar is a more effective player. Harden is so much better of a passer that it negates how much more effective DeRozan is and Harden is lights out behind the arc so :ehh:

Overall I don't think theres any doubt Harden is better but yes I think DeRozan is right behind him.

Some decisions were made behind the scenes :mjgrin:


@Gil Scott-Heroin fukk Harden he's TRASH :dead:

Case in point : DeRozan was infront of Harden for stretches... not for A SINGLE SHOT OF DEROZANS was Harden in front of him. Harden is literally a minus 1 on defense. And he has some HORRENDOUS shot selection. The Transition straight on contested three is literally his go to :dead:

And he leads the league in Turnovers by a large margin :dead:
