They were talking about him on my pod last night. Dude has the talent of a 20-25 million a year player if he could ever embrace a consistency. In fairness to him, he’s always been in situations playing meaningless basketball for bad teams.
His three Sixers games
And when they get healthy he needs to pick his spots and use his athleticism to make hustle plays and play defense.
I disagree. It leads to players doing things they don’t do well because the team needs it or because the game doesn’t matter so just go out and chuck. That’s who the guy has been. He just went out and chucked and put up 20 PPG that were hollow on losing teams. The Hornets and Wizards are two of the worst organizations in the NBA. Guys don’t develop there.
Did you forget about that dude with the weird beard who now plays for the Clippers?
Harden isn’t a floor spacer. Harden Embiid pick and roll was great…until it wasn’t and the Celtics took that action away. A floor spacer is a knock down shooter the defense is hesitant to double off of and leave open. To a lesser extent Embiid had that with Seth Curry. Seth was even worse defensively than Hield is though.
Ergo: it might have just been a Doc Rivers problem?
Uhhhhh…what? How is Doc Rivers responsible for Harden not being a great distance shooter? Weird take. Maybe just stay in that Rah Rah Fan Boi lane.
I can end this now by putting him for 6 assist on a parlay tomorrow
Oh I don’t disagree. And that’s why he was available for the minimum. But he’s got a great skill set. Hopefully, this is him fully turning that corner.
You sure you’re okay, bro?
I’m great. I know that when people talk about floor spacers in basketball they’re talking about off ball players. Can you come up with any more ball dominant player than James Harden? I’m sorry that you don’t understand what a floor spacer is.
He doesn’t understand the game. It’s all good. Fan Bois make the economics of sports work. The Fan Bois are why we have such great access to so many sporting events on TV.
