D'Antoni has nothing to do with his stats. They're not even running his offense or else Houston's pace would be much higher.
Will The Biggest Harden Haters Please Step Forward

Pick and Roll is a gimmick now?
It's a gimmick because instead of running a traditional offense, The Rockets spend most of the game standing around looking at Harden, waiting for him to make that one pass on offense. Harden comes down the court, pounds the ball, passes it, that player shoots it. The Celtics use to do this with Rondo and I fukking hated it. I'm not impressed when dudes get big assists numbers in these kind of systems. Like I've said on here before, I think Harden is a great passer but if you don't think he's benifiting heavily(or even stat padding) in the Rockets system, you're just a stan and a damn fool. Harden is a career 5apg guy, the last two seasons he's been around 7apg, now he's jumped to 13.

Or coaches last year didn't even have an offense and we got better shooters
Draymond and Steph's assists all phony too right? They run a spin off of O'Antonis system after all
What's comical about these "i told you so" threads is that folks act as if all the Harden criticism is unwarranted.
He IS an awful defender
He RARELY puts any effort into being even a decent one
He IS a turnover machine
His game IS annoying to watch because of the constant flopping and exaggerating contact
His game DOESN'T translate to the playoffs because the refs swallow their whistle
As I've said in this thread I think he's been the best player in the league this season, but that doesn't mean folks were just plucking things out of thin air to justify their dislike of him. He's not a really likeable player unless you're a Rockets fan tbh

Not even close. Nobody pounds the ball in GS.
If you can't see that there's a huge difference between how Harden always has the ball and GS's offense, you're a fool.
It's much easier to get an assist in Golden State's offense. A Harden assist in Houston means more than an assist on the Warriors' team. Kinda hard not to get an assist in the Warriors' offense when you have to move the ball like that and you're passing it to either Curry, Durant or Klay.

And he's still more interesting than anyone on your team

It's quite obvious you are not watching this years Rockets. There is all kind of motion off ball trying to free up Ryan Anderson. The offense is PnR heavy but so is most offenses in the NBA these days.
