So had harden went 3 - 17 instead of 1-17 they probably would have won.... but their making it it about Russ desperation play?
Edit: Ignore the math, I thought they lost by 2 or 3 points

PJ tucker would have had a wide open corner 3.
And WB could have bought him extra time by blocking the defender

How do I find this same stat for other players?He's a career 22% shooter on game-winning or game-tying shots.
Shots to tie or take lead, final 24 seconds of 4th or overtime, entire career
That's falls to 10% in the playoffs.And the only one he made was a dunk.
If you only count threes....he's made 16% of his game-winning three attempts including 0% in the playoffs.
And you wonder why Harden was trying to keep the ball out of his hands.

my point remainsagain, westbrook aint the issue right now
Go to the player's profile on Basketball Reference, look for "Shot Finder". Set the time to final 24 seconds, set the quarter to 4th and Overtime, check the boxes that say "shot to tie" and "shot to take lead", and depending on what you want you can set to regular season or playoffs or both.
League average is 28% on game-winners. High-volume primary scorers tend to struggle more cause they're trying to create their own shots, but Westbrook is special to be THAT low. The top guys tend to be great shooters who aren't handling the ball, they get someone else to draw the defense in for them and then just hit a catch-and-shoot bucket for the win. Especially tall players who can create their own shot do pretty well too because the defender can't stop them from getting it off.
Come on man, why not hate on both, we can walk and chew gum at the same time.
For most of this year the Rockets were getting killed whenever Westbrook was on the court without Harden. The fact that they're both on the same team is just a wonderful opportunity to be happy no matter which one is doing the losing at the moment.
