Will The Biggest Harden Haters Please Step Forward

All of that involves Harden sucking the air out of the ball.

No it doesn't. D'Antoni's motto is 7 secs or less and the Rockets aren't playing that fast but Harden is passing the ball ahead to Ariza, Brewer and Capela who are beating the defense down court on misses. Harden is also feasting on the high PnR with Capela. Forcing the defensive big to either pick Harden up which allows Harden to throw the lob to Capela. Or if the big stays with Capela Harden drives to the rim and if a wing tries to dig off the corner a shooter is there for Harden to dish to. If the wing stays Harden's going to the basket or hitting the stepback for the pull up J.

There are possessions where he dribbles a lot but not nearly as much as it has been in previous years. But he is the PG and PG's set up the offense.

So what you're saying is he's playing point guard too good

 

[Versa]

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

That's an opinion. Everything I said was facts

 

[DonKnock]

I apologize haters,

Harden was too good early on, got sat down early and couldn't get the triple double

 

[DonKnock]

Haters looking kids sloppy right now

Only 21% of y'all could even muster up a vote here?

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.

There arent enough balls to go around the Warriors have great ball movement

 

[Bay Area]

Well they can't give the MVP to a system

I never implied otherwise, I was just addressing your notion that Stephen assist numbers were somehow an indictment on his abilities at the PG position.

Triple double in 3 quarters:DKHarden:
