Change is inevitable...
Harden always been an offensive powerhouse....few people have ever denied that
It's his defense that has always been the issue
It's his defense that has always been the issue
(11 attempts per game this season, career high) and his defense is so lax and nonchalant it's almost non-existent) 
they're probably looking for a play where Harden has 5 fouls so he has to hold back to avoid fouling out, theyll then take it out of context put it on IG or twitter and caption it "harden playing amazing defense" in the bytch made sarcastic tone they loveMedia is still trying to figure out how to eat crow on trashing him last year without making themselves look worse![]()
He can be regarded as the best shooting guard of the players not drafted in the 90's, just don't throw his name in the same hat as Kobe. Don't try to compare the two or say harden is better.
if you do feel the need to say he's Better than Kobe, this spoiler is for you, if not keep it moving.
Dude is averaging almost 5 turnovers per game (4.6 p, career high). A large majority of his game relies on drawing fouls and shooting free throws(11 attempts per game this season, career high) and his defense is so lax and nonchalant it's almost non-existent)
Good offensive player, but his assists totals are a product of a system intended to produce big numbers for the primary ball handler, nothing more, nothing less

he's making Clint Capella look so goodI get the feeling he's going to put up something crazy like 50/20 this season. He's been playing on cruise control so far this year & is still effortlessly destroying teams. The Rockets should straight up be 4-0 right now with how well he's playing.
Net Rating On/Off Harden: +11.6 / -29.3
They're one of the best teams in the entire League with Harden on the court, they're Sixers status without him. For comparison sakes here's the +/- for Westbrook this season who's been going full throttle from the start.
Russ: +3.7 / -15.1

Ain't no one bringin up Kobe but you![]()

he's making Clint Capella look so good
everyone acts like being able to draw a foul is a bad thing or a bytch move. doesnt matter what they think its one of the best strategys out there, gives the defender a foul, and 2 easy buckets
when harden drives in he has 3 possible options which makes him unstoppable basically. He can lure the defender and allow Capella to get the easy bucket, he can fake a pass and finish or he can go to draw a foul because hes so effective at drawing a foul its basically an option for him
That versatility is![]()

Take your own advice dogg, we talkin about current players in hereLike I said, if the shoe don't fit, keep moving![]()



I agree , he does it effortlessly
Russ on the other hand looks like he will break down at some point this season putting up these numbers
I get the feeling he's going to put up something crazy like 50/20 this season. He's been playing on cruise control so far this year & is still effortlessly destroying teams. The Rockets should straight up be 4-0 right now with how well he's playing.
