The clippers offense was never in the top 10 in the Embiid era til last year with Harden. They were 3rd. with Harden the offense was elite. Now with nurse it is elite again. Great coaching job by nurse.

Westbrook single handedly can tank a teams offensive efficiency. In the last 8 seasons the only year Hardens teams offense was outside of the top 3 was the 2020 season with Russ, they fell down to 6.

Everyone is ignoring the bad play because he “volunteered” to come off the bench. He went from a media whipping boy to media darling.

Harden has sacrificed shot attempts and assists because he wants to fit in and not ruffle any feathers. Still very early for this group. Nothing LAC does in the regular season means anything, obviously.

Harden led the league in win shares 4 seasons in a row and 5 of 6. Very similar to what jokic is in the midst of.

No. They are gonna have to take their lumps in the playoffs regardless of who they add. One series win would be a great accomplishment. Anything more than that is asking a bit much even if they were to add a siakam or Anunoby or whoever

Without super teams that have massive talent advantages, the title will come down to what of the best teams is healthiest. No team can overcome an injury to one of their top guys and win the title. Injury luck determines who wins the title more in the NBA than any other team sport.

Harden has better individual playoff stats than Butler. And regular season of course is not close at all.

127 Ortg would lead the league and his Ts Is 68 which is top 10. Only steph is better as a guard. He didnt have only one good game lol.

Harden is averaging 1.3 points per possession in ISO and 1.5 ppp in pick and roll. I think the obvious answer is to have Harden on the ball more, others on the ball less, and watch the team offense take off.

If their job is to promote the league taking shots at one of the greatest players of the generation is not a good look. Mavs guy is made because Harden is 40-20 Vs his favorite team and this is his chance to take out some of the frustration he has felt over the years.

Ok if Russ is top 25 how did Russ and PG Lose to teams like utah and Portland in rd 1 a few years ago.

Not in 21 in BKN. Harden was better.
