[MVP]

Harden gotta be the MVP though if he keeps up anything remotely close to this. Voters already screwed him twice.

They'll give it to Kryie. Better narrative.

Why do we ignore what Giannis is doing defensively as well as offensively ?

My one non analytical post of the week

“21 Series”

This set was created by Pringles's Phoenix Suns teams. This is an early offensive attack that has been very effective for Golden State and Houston. The idea is to push the ball ahead as quickly as possible to the wing with a pass or dribble. There are built in options into this series, with an option to dribble hand off back to the point guard, keep it and come off ballscreen, and look opposite for weak side player coming off of the screen.

Spoiler: Rockets version

Spoiler: Golden State Version

This + Spain pnr are simple easy “sets” that I wish OKC would run.

They’re making things sooooo hard on themselves

Like Russ should never have 20 points on 20 shots with that that roster.

All rookie guards are Trash if you expect them to lead you to wins right now

 

[Lovetohate3000]

I'm not a ball fan but I don't hear nothing about fox. His hype must of died down or he's playing like trash as well..

@rck3sactown can confirm

Wish Kawhi was healthy so id see Lebby lose his first team all NBA spot

Bron is off to one of the best offensive seasons of his career.

Fox started out hot..

 

[lovehateself]

we'll hear about Fox come Wednesday
Ball vs. Fox matchup

 

[Mark Antony]

No narratives that could prevent him from winning mvp either

I dunno b, watching games son just gently caresses dudes as they go by him on defense like "i tried".

 

[B Sox]

I'd probably chalk that up to him playing in Sacramento and the team being trash. Here is the Fox/Ball comparison...

And if we’re taking this in account, Lebron isn’t even gently caressing anyone

Lonzo playing or nah?

 

[coldcity]

Shannon sharpe must be protected at all costs

 

[JD617]

It’s still really early and a lot can change in 5 months but right now Harden is clearly the MVP of the league so far.

 

[wavycrocket]

Has LeBron REALLY been better than KD this season?

I mean....Bron is a turnstile defensively right now....while KD is an elite rim protecting forward who can switch everything.

25/7/4 on 53/42/87....2bpg...

But people stil for some reason act like LeBron is far ahead and clear cut ahead of Kevin Durant. They really don’t want Bron to NOT be the clear cut best player in the game. It’s weird.

 

[wavycrocket]

Shannon sharpe must be protected at all costs

This saying been worn out in 2017

 

[lovehateself]

Lonzo playing or nah?

TBD

 

[addict4sneakers]

KD >>> Lebron

@ me.

Giannis on his bumper too

 

[noblekane]

Wish Kawhi was healthy so id see Lebby lose his first team all NBA spot

lebreddy krueger just keeps on coming back. you cant kill him

Man...that ***** player with Kevin Durant and a young, spacing Serge Ibaka....

Same result . Can’t wait for Wednesday btw. Clash of the “super teams”

 

[hardens beard]

Nah. Right now Harden is clearly 1.

No way he can play this well for entire season tho, If he did this would be the greatest offensive season of alltime.

The Biggest reason why I would be shocked if Harden didn't regress this season

He's scoring 1.24 PPP in isolation 9 attempts a game. To put this in perspective a James Harden ISO right now is more efficient than GS's offense.
