They def didn't win because of him breh, cats on here initially tried to flip the narrative that the Warriors roster is trash, now we got post hyping up Wiggins and etc
They won exactly because of Steph.. Heat was double teaming Steph all game which allowed his off ball double teaming to open up the floor for bazemore to go off for 26pts

It’s clear you didn’t watch one minute of the game..

For anyone not watching the blazers just know melo is a huge reason why the blazers are winning. His vet experience is clutch as hell. Dude may not be as athletic but he’s just smarter. Dudes steals gotta be high as fukk. I’ve seen melo shut down peeps.

breh it's just a fan talking shyt :russ:

I admit, I actually find James Harden's game a lot easier to digest when he's not the main guy running the show.
It’s easier to watch him bc he’s not hooking nikkas arms and falling down on 3pt shots. Basically he’s not playing like trae young, doing all that hoe shyt. He’s also not intentionally taking himself out of the offense when he doesn’t have the ball

Yeah but he's not the main scorer. He's running the offense but with him letting KD and Kyrie handle the bulk of the scoring load the more annoying aspects of his game aren't as frequent.
Same thing he did in Houston. Just more talent around him in Brooklyn. Him and Jeff green had the same great chemistry last season.

harden played this way with Russ and cp3 . They just weren’t Durant or kyrie.

Bruh, I'm talking purely about aesthetics:heh:. I'm not saying he 's any better or worse, I just tolerate watching him more.

The big difference about harden in Brooklyn and Houston that I wish happened in Housotnis harden still literally player s the same way Morey wanted him to play, but the rest of Brooklyn play threat the way they want. Morey and D’Antoni made the entire roster in Houston play the same style. No creativity whatsoever and completely predictable.

kyrie and Durant uplift harden. Co3 did for one but that second year dude was looking terrible he couldn’t do what he was doing this year. His midrange was gone. He couldn’t beat the mismatch one on one.

I’m happy harden has the help he needs. Ppl blamed him but he truly had no help in Houston. Pj Tucker is a starter and has been terrible this season. I heard he was supposedly going to be included in the Harden trade but Harden told Brooklyn no.

What’s changed about his style? I asked this everything I see ppl say that and they never respond with anything of substance. Just say you’re happy he’s in Brooklyn or move on because his style of play hasn’t changed atall

Read my post again. I didn't say his style changed...I find it easier to watch because it's in smaller doses.

I don't think CP3's midrange ever went, I think due to the analytic system they told CP3 they didn't want him taking it as often so CP3 put his focus during the offseason and training camp on perfecting his 3 ball.

As soon as CP3 touched down in OKC he was back to working the elbow again.

A prime CP3 was sufficient for Harden but ultimately shyt luck prevented us from ever seeing it through... the hamstring pull not only ruined our best team since '95 but literally took CP3 a full season + 2 summers to recover... by which point we were fed up/convinced he was washed.. only for him to revert back to his 2018 form soon as he got shipped out to OKC. It sucks, but Harden and D'Antoni (..who i still don't care for but acknowledge he had some shyt luck not just with Houston but Phoenix as well) now have a chance at redemption. And if they pull it off with Nash as the coach, it kinda makes it all poetic in a way.

As an aside, if Harden really did block PJ Tucker from joining in on the fun... i ain't mad at that. PJ needs to leave but he also ain't some great Rocket role player that i feel needs to be gifted a contender for his services here. Carl Landry and Chuck Hayes meant more to me.
