Random NBA Observations 2020 - 2021

[Professor Emeritus]

Harden is underrated give him Lebron or KDs career roster and he has similar results

 

[DetroitEWarren]

Prime D Wade would average 30 EASILY right now

When you see how easy Zion gets to the basket you would know that D Wade was a guard version of that type of basket attack.

I could see Wade averaging 28-32 every season shooting 50-55% every year .


He shot 49% as a fukkin rookie in a defensive era for gods sake are y'all nikkas serious

These guys are saying outlandish shyt just to say it. Houston made rosters specifically tailored to Harden's play style and these are his playoff shooting percentages since he got there:

'12-13: 39.1%/34.1%
'13-14: 37.6%/29.6%
'14-15: 43.9%/38.3%
'15-16: 41%/31%
'16-17: 41.3%/27.8%
'17-18: 41%/29.9%
'18-19: 41.3%/35%
'19-20: 47.8%/33.3% <-------- The Bubble where Jamal Murray and Donovan Mitchell were shooting like Larry Bird

Harden's yearly shooting numbers are the equivalent to the few times LeBron hasn't shot well in the postseason in 14 tries, which were clear outliers.

Guys, it's okay to acknowledge someone is great even if you don't like them. Harden vs Wade is a conversation. Don't know why ya'll bullying the guy.

His FG% will liktely go up this playoffs on a more talented team.

jesus christ

This Suns team is stacked with talent and Monty has them playing the right way . They would have been at least a 6th seed even without Chris Paul.

the Suns used to have too many wings but no point guards on their roster. all they had to do was sign a starting point guard (Rubio), and hire a competent coach.

I have never seen any player with a deadly mix of elite passing, crafty handles, and creative scoring like Harden before.

Fans will appreciate him more, and any other star for that matter, once he retires.

 

[Primetime]

Sorry breh.

Harden is easily one of the most incredible perimeter players I've ever seen.

Don't apologize for shyt breh. Obviously if BK wins 2 or more championships in the upcoming years, Harden could very well retire as the consensus 3rd greatest shooting guard of all time by pundits and fans once *all* the dust settles, as well as a top 5 or better offensive player ever. We already know the sport's narrative for Harden will flip overnight if BK wins just 1 'ship. Now will certain coli folks be irate? I mean, who gives a fukk?


The way i see it, there are still too many other variables like health and covid fukkery when it comes to winning a 'ship this season, so it's too soon for anything definitive.. but for the time being I give him his props for coming into a new situation and being the MVP and workhorse for what looks like a title favorite.

I blame wade. He lost his real nikka reputation with his retirement antics.

Lol he was doing a lot tbh

Meanwhile Dirk retired the same time and just hooped and kept to himself

You appreciate him once he's on your team, that's for damn sure. Nets fans will have no problem telling you that, go look in the thread rn and you'll see folks who didn't want him realize how crazy they were. Then on Twitter you get the talk about how it'll still be Harden's team when KD comes back, etc

He switched up his style a little but it's nothing he didn't already do before. And it's not just him they hate, we've created the Justice League of hated players with Kyrie, KD, Harden. They don't want to see James do well and they def don't want to see those 3 win shyt together.

 

[MoneyTron]

Skill set is meaningless to me. How do you actually PERFORM when the games matter?

Name the best player in NBA history whose playoff resume of chokes and failures is as bad as Harden. Who looks as bad in the biggest playoff games as Harden does.

Why should all sorts of players who actually ball out in big playoff games and win games and series for their teams be ranked below a guy who looks like trash on the biggest stage every year?

I'm not going to convince you of anything. You're going to sit here and type whole paragraphs and try to dominate the conversation like you normally do with any subject. I don't care. I said what I said.


Regardless, of what happens, I'm going to enjoy watching him play...and be better than Wade.

I agree with the first part but I don't think the nets is "the justice league of hated players". they're definitely not as hated nearly as much the Heat and Warriors teams. as matter of fact, even the Harden-led rockets was more hated. I think Harden is getting less hated than before lol
