No it hasn't? He's shooting 10% better than last year, his form is significantly better. The team still has major spacing issues and he's managed to be more dominant

 

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.

I'm barely trying and am easily finding comparable stat lines for an okay player. Is this really the hill you want to die on lol

I just picked a random month last season for Siakam, and picked a 4 game stretch where he did well. The 4 games from dec 3-9 he averaged 29/9/8/1.5stls/1.5 TO's on 60% TS and a +50 box score.

It's not even remotely hard to make a player look good if you cherry-pick stats

Darko is a good vibes coach but seems like that's it

Felt like Darko wanted us to lose. Why are our starters playing light minutes in a close game when our starters are cooking and we have a trash bench?

Between the Bucks/Pistons game and the Raptors/Mavs game the refs are eye-gouging bad.

I wouldn't be surprised if the whistle was blown on 90% of positions during the second half of the Raptors/Mavs game. Someone honestly needs to be fired from both games, it actually drained so much enjoyment with how incompetent they were

the refs are actually comically fucked this game

Apparently, you can't be knocked off balance

Going from a Siakam/FVV offence to Embiid/Maxey is going to single-handedly save Nurse from a coronary
