**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[hardens beard]

I would say Morey started the volume shooting trend.

 

[B Sox]

What you mean? I was agreeing with you.

 

[nick.]

05/06 Kobe 45.6 points per 100 possessions

18/19 Harden 45.3 points per 100 possessions

But Kobe took cool fadeaway jumpers & Harden just shoots free throws

Man was a baby averaging 24 & 9 under Mark Jackson’s rigid offense (and Jarret Jack’s hawk *** stealing shine ).

Imagine What he’d do with Dantoni’s P&R

I said this a few weeks ago

. If you put Steph with MDA and let him loose he would put up even better #'s.
.

Allow Steph to shoot and dribble all day with his accuracy...

I remember Kendall Marshall randomly having these huge games when he played with D'antoni. Kept him on my fantasy team that year even though he only averaged like 9 and 9

It's all relative though. The Rockets play at the slowest pace in the NBA right now so James isn't getting his by playing at a faster pace.

And he’s a much better player maker

Always thought Antoine Walker started that volume. Ray Allen started doing the same thing after that. Then Arenas, Pierce and others

Steph pushed volume up much further

Antoine Walker would be in the HOF if he played in this era.

I almost have to just respect the dedication at this point. I mean, even leemelone gave him his props last night.

He doesn't deserve MVP consideration and he's not a top 3 offensive player currently.

when have i said that he's bad or isn't playing well?

My biggest complaint regarding Harden is that he flops entirely too much... which he still does
He doesn't perform anywhere near this in the playoffs.... which is true

As far as MVP is he in consideration yea, he def not the leader in my mind & it was the same reason i was lookin at people crazy when they were claiming Lebron for MVP last season after having a stretch of wins & great stats. Other guys deserve it more, have been more consistent for the year & actually play defense.

KD, Steph, Lebron are all better offensively than James Harden.... That isn't a knock on him, it's just Truth.

 

[freeze]

funniest part was...KD kept going for the ball like he thought he was in bounds too. That was a jedi mind trick on the refs. Had them thinking, 'my eyes must be deceiving me, no way he can play this hard to keep the ball in bounds and be out of bounds...he must be in bounds. Color me impressed. *cue impressed obama face'

 

[100027]

Fatigue hasn't been as much of a factor as simply losing to better teams.

When he's played poorly it certainly appeared fatigue was an issue.

 

[P C H]

5-0 since they grabbed him? Warriors, Pelicans, Grizzlies, Thunder, Celtics,

 

[freeze]

i wonder how frustrating it is for steph to have to defer to KD so often

thats 2 games winners KD has missed in a week, a game right after curry hits the go ahead gw layup on montrezl harrel with 3.4 seconds left. smh. kerr cock blocking.

 

[freeze]

Don’t mean to be a conspiracy theorist ..... but what if this sudden Harden praise is more due to him beating the Warriors?

it is. my boy routinely hates on harden. roasts him every chance he gets. hits me last night like...you know what....I think harden just made me a fan. Then proceeds to call gsw ***** *** ****** .

 

[hardens beard]

Didn’t KD hit a gw against the Mavs?

probs. but then missed the easy 5 footer against the blazers.

 

[drewsone]

KD hit the big shots in the Finals tho so thats prob why they keep giving it to him lol

lmaoooo look at how grown manish bron was at the same age. that literally looks like bron form 2 weeks ago

Steph tryna make KD happy after Dray called him a sucka beyotch.


Is the environment in GS toxic?

What big shots? They were sweeps lol those two threes don't count those are luxury clutch shots

 

[Quincy McCall]

29% from 3 over the past 2 runs. 24% in that Warriors series alone. Career highs in usage in both reg season & playoffs. No other explanation unless you think he chokes

Def a factor but not as much as the former

 

[curtis50cent]

damn. its been real homie. take care.

[dman14]

defenses prefer KD shooting the final shot. it's the lesser of the two evils

tbh, curry definitely should've been the one taking that shot last night. especially from that distance that kd pulled it. boy aint got range like that. he had to jerk his whole body to get the ball to the rim. curry pulling tear drops from 40.
