The Clippers are now 4-7 since trading for Harden, or 0-1 in his "ready" state.

Memes aside, he was okay this game, but okay isn't good enough when you're with a fully healthy Clippers vs a Reggie Jackson-led Nuggets.

Harden isn't exactly playing terribly as a Clippers, but at this point in his career, it's hard to justify an offence-first player on a team as offensively stacked as the Clippers when they're in desperate need of some more off-ball movement.

Harden is looking to secure a max extension, we'll have to see what kind of contract he can muster as he gets more into game shape as the season progresses.

U/jayowenwest Damn nephew

[–] fueelin@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Lol, Celtics fans have a knack for having a ton of faith in other teams and their players apparently (see also: zombie heat and Orlando magic).

[–] Assumption-Putrid@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Go ahead and take that victory lap, you earned it.

[–] AljoGOAT@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

To be fair, your take was kinda stupid at the time

[–] DrTom@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Props to /u/DilipKSV , too.

[–] sh0tc4ll3r@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This was a very bold prediction and as much as I've always liked Maxey, I would have disagreed with you quite strongly tbh. So, props.

[–] Public-Product-1503@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Lmao this sub is full of bozos who can only count playoff wins at best or media awards. I got downvoted all summer saying herro n maxey weren’t close in terms of assets; msxey I’d a better player last year and is better prospect in every way . Not to mention msxey stepped up in the playoffs. Can tell this sub is clueless sometimes but so is most of bball Reddit. I did expect maxey to eventually be this good: the combination of athleticism and absurd , like legit absurd especially considering his athletic tools too, shooting talent made me think maxey is gonna be huge eventually. I would’ve guessed one more year tho to be at this years lvl .

u/Niceguydan8 NBA 1yr

Would anybody even be surprised if maxey is better than harden in 2 years?

Probably 99% of anyone with a decent amount of NBA knowledge would be surprised by that

… Jesus. That one is embarrassingly bad. Love it when they’re smug and stupid in one swoop

I can't give you full credit, OP. It seems that you and the other posters who responded were discussing if Maxey can reach Harden's 2021 level of play, not just simply pass him up.

Yes, Maxey improved in two years, but not THAT much. Harden's regression since then plays just as much of a role in the upside switch between the two as any other factor. I mean, by the '01/'02 season, Ray Allen was a better player than Jordan, so it happens.

[–] karthik4331@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I just thought it would be fun to look up that stats.

Jordan averaged 23/6/5 with 1.5 steals, 0.5 blocks on 42% FG.

Ray Allen averaged 22/5/4 with 1.3 steals and 0.3 blocks on 46% FG .

That's actually pretty close lol. I expected a really big difference

[–] Turence@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Lol they're wrong again

[–] Celtic_Legend@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

2001 is before my time but you got to look at defense too. Defensive rating goes to jordan (i know, not perfect, but i cant watch 160 games for a reddit comment). Which is insane since hes 40 years old.

[–] achyutthegoat@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Insane box score watching
