Westbrook just posted a Perfect triple double

[mastermind]

Anyway, this argument isn't about who the better shooter is.

but you mentioned it

Harden is a better scorer than Russy.

Harden is a better scorer than Russy.

Has he been more valuable to his team's success than Russell Westbrook has? Both teams are going to the playoffs.

That's the main question. This isn't an "Offensive Player of the Year" award, breh.

His team can't afford him to collect ticky-tac shooting fouls. Russ is usually gambling on passing lanes or looking for RBs to initiate their full-court offense.

this makes no sense

 

[inndaskKy]

with that.

Anyway, this argument isn't about who the better shooter is. It's about which player is most valuable to his team's success this year. If you had to be a great shooter to win MVP, then frankly no one outside of Golden State or Kawhi Leonard ought to have a shot at this.

Harden has a better true shooting % than Curry, Klay, Kawhi and LeBron. You don't know what you're talking about because you just don't understand what it is.

 

[KillerB88]

yes


this makes no sense

What's confusing about that? He's rarely squaring up with shooters. He plays passing lanes and pulls down boards.

Rockets have made and attempted the most 3s but percentage wise they are middle of the pack in 3pt percentage. Yall gotta do better than this.

Pretty sure OKC is bottom tier in 3pt percentage so either way...

The Thunder is the worst 3PT shooter team in the LEAGUE. Houston got shooters that can shoot the 3 ball. There was one game where they didn't even ATTEMPT a mid-range jumper.

How Harden is a better scorer than Russ when Russ leads the league in SCORING and on the verge of getting his 2nd scoring title????

Just save your keystrokes. They're determined to hate. You can't change their minds.

 

[BrehWyatt]

yes

So you believe that if you took Russ from OKC and took Harden from Houston, OKC would have a better record than Houston?

Harden isnt taking as many shots as Russy and yet is only 2 points off.

He scores at a higher efficiency. And if you watch Harden play, he can score in the post, driving, and jumper.

where was Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon last years?

Russy is not playing with bums. I know a lot of you think that because he dominates the ball so much but Victor Oladipo and Stephen Adams are not bums and are being underutilized. ENes Kanter is one of the best bench scorers in the NBA too.

I am not saying Russy's team is stacked or that Harden's team is sorry, but neither are playing on super teams.
