I think FVV plans on returning in Feb or March. I think he'll be back before the playoffs. Will he be playing well? That is another question. But even if he doesn't return or is not playing well, the team is still positioned well as of today. They are nowhere near sounding alarm bells. But I hear your skepticism. That's fine. But stranger things have happened. It's sports. They might catch fire at the right time. It could happen. At least that's what I tell myself.
Yeah , I know Dallas wanted to get off Luka. Well tge GM at the time did. I think Luka is a great offensive talent, but I don't see the Lakers making it to a championship. I used to hate watching the Mavericks play. Too much iso, kind of like the James Harden era here. Plus never committed on D.
23rd in passes per game . If we were top 5, The fanbase would need a cardiologist on standby. Some of these passes already feel like a horror movie plot twist. Swing, turnover. Sometimes the only passes that don't scare me are handoffs. We’re always one extra pass away from the whole fanbase filing for EEEEEE-moooootionaal Damage.
On a lighter note if anyone is wondering how many 3's and FT's Harden has had in his career while currently being 9th all-time in scoring BUT only 156th all-time in 2 pointers made.
I think most of the worst he's done in the playoffs was post-Houston. In Houston, he only had a couple bad games, and one REALLY bad game that I think colored our perception of his playoff performances for years, consciously or unconsciously: Game 6 against SA in 2017. That one was terrible, and I can only hope the rumors of him having a concussion or something were true... Otherwise he was hungover from a strip club. That was way more than a typical choke. Game six against the Warriors wasn't great, but he had some great games to help us in that series, too... There's only so much you can do when Scott Foster is reffing. He's been big in game 7s, too. I remember how he closed out OKC in game 7 in 2017. He was also solid against LAC in game 7 in 2015. He's had great overall series in many playoffs.
No, he’s right. Stone is a moron. Imagine emphasizing the importance of team chemistry to then turn around a trade for Mr. Twitter fingers (Durant) lmao. Only an incompetent front office would do something like that.
This was you 1 day ago at 543 am in a PG/Harden thread that had not been posted in in over 4 years. Now in here talking about dumb bumps and being annoying. lol
to add to this, I actually prefer a player making it abundantly clear they want out than doing some BS like Giannis has been doing the past 2 years where one week wants to stay and is all about “loyalty” and then the next week is looking at other teams and not sure about his future
As much as I despised watching Harden play at times, we could def use 24 and 8 dimes in our current situation. Plus, a ball handler who can get us into sets. Just sayin... Rockets are in a tough spot. If we don't come back vs the Lakers, I see some big moves this offseason... but I don't want Giannis or these old guys. Get some young studs in here.
