whats his efficiency compared to the clowns of okc with the same amount of touches?
Kevin Durant wouldn't take this shot for stat padding reasons...

Harden: 46 pts on 19 shots, 95% ture shooting
Chimpbrook: 28 pts on 20 shots
46. Sorry Lakers you not getting 8th.
So was trading for Porkins.
OKC ed up with this trade. This has been a terrible weak for the meth heads. Miami ass s them in their house then Harden puts up a career high on them.
Still don't know why they didn't amnesty Perkins. Small market can't pay all thaty probably
they needed the big lineup just in case they face either grizz, clippers or lakers...all have big frontline...
Contenders don't lose 3 straight.
in the playoffs.
In the meantime, the Spurs are laughing all the way with their reg season 3 peat to the bank.
This does not pertain to the Spurs only, if you think I was slighting them. A number of championship teams struggled along the way before they found the championship touch.
I get that but you posted this tonight. I have no problem with the premise ... But I also don't think he is all that great defensively Wade has picked up his play the last month.
Love the way he plays. Its almost always a layup or a 3 pointer from him. Very efficient. His FG% isn't spectacular (45.8%) but its very respectable for a guy carrying the load the way he is. He's shooting well over 50% on his 2 point attempts, and gets to the line over 10 times a game, and not in BS Durant fashion. He attacks the rim more aggressively than Manu tbh. While he isn't an elite defender, he does come up with 2 steals per game which puts him top 6 in the league there. Also a very willing passer. Only knock on him would be turnovers, but on a team with a pace as fast as Houston, and considering its his first year truly putting a team on his back, its not exactly something you can knock him for.
His man to man defense, though not what it was before (he exerts way more energy on offense than he had to on a team with Westbrick and Durant), is still solid. I still have visions of him defending Kobe pretty darn well in last year's playoffs.
Definitely in the West, but Wade's been coasting tbh.
Should be unquestionably the best in the league by next season tho.
How awesome would it be if Houston finishes #7 and Utah #8
We would wipe the floor with Utah yet again and OKC will heave to deal with the beard before taking on the Clippers
Better yet, what if Houston took down OKC in round 1? I mean, it's not gonna happen but that may be the most hilarious story in the history of the NBA*.
*Lakers this year notwithstanding.
I was trying not to get ahead of myself, but yeah that would be a smack to the face of all the "they don't need Harden" people. Would also be a lesson for people that like athletes like Westbrick over ballers like Harden.
That's already in place. If the Thunder don't at LEAST make the Finals this year, it's going to hurt their legitimacy behind dealing Harden. If they lose because of Westbrook, it will double/triple the doubters.I was trying not to get ahead of myself, but yeah that would be a smack to the face of all the "they don't need Harden" people.

They're in a no win spot right now unless they win the le this year, OR lose in 6-7 to Miami with Refsbrook playing well all series.
I could see Houston being the '07 Warriors to the Thunderefs' '07 Mavs, tbh....
Houston has to get production from Lin and Parsons though to take two games though. And I doubt they win 1 in OKC.
it would be a heck of an entertaining series anyway. a lot of scoring
If they were ahead at all in the fourth quarter, I'd be willing to be Lin and Harden would both be assigned 7 fouls. On one play. Just to be sure that they wouldn't be able to stay in.
