The Official NBA Thread: Celtics Lead 3-1 in the NBA Finals | RIP Jerry West

[B Sox]

System passer.

Not even close to being Luka’s level passing it.

This is ridiculous

 

[rolaholic]

You are lying. Harden been an elite passer since ASU/OKC.

Not even like he's fallen off there in that regard either

 

[rolaholic]

Horrible

 

[chao7]

Horrible

Legitimately world shattering. So awful.

I like to joke in the NBA thread, but if anyone reading this is going through something, the world is a better place with you in it. Please don't be afraid to reach out to someone if you need to.

 

[Coupé It]

This is ridiculous

Laugh all you want.

Harden never even came close to averaging double digit assists until D’Antoni came along.

He was an 6-7 assist player.


If that makes you an elite passer…..then our definition of elite it different. We’re already not on the same page.

Tatum had Toppin so off balance, he was jumping before Tatum he loaded up his shot.


At this point, let's fast forward to the fans booing Mikey from Waltham every time he touches the ball in Boston during the finals.

I get Harden was the darling in here for a minute.

Had you guys saying he was better than Kobe…

But move it along. It’s over.

Your take is just as bad as the Harden > Kobe one

The numbers and conversations literally don’t lie.

Look it up.

First, 6-7 assists is a lot for a non-PG. Especially when Harden 1st came in the league.

Second, it’s not just the numbers. If you watch Harden enough you can see that he has vision and passing touch that only very few players have.

And I say this as someone who has always had mixed feelings about Harden, even after he was traded to my team. There’s plenty legitimate criticisms of the guy, but he absolutely is an elite passer.

Tatum got as many FGs in 8 minutes as Harold Minor 2.0 did all game

I’m sorry our definitions of elite are not the same.

That’s really where we have to end this.

 

[lawdog1]

Some of the calls guys act incredulous about

 

[pmatic]

Most underrated passer of this generation was John Wall. Crazy he was more or less done by age 27.

 

[lawdog1]

Then you might want to explain your definition better because you’re the only one who seems to use it.

 

[B Sox]

Hauser has been trash in this series.

 

[picasso swerve]

imagine saying a guy w/ over 40k points has no bag.

Having a bag =/= being able to score.

Cmon now.

 

[DeadsetAce]

so typical...haliburton out and a chance to really bury these dudes and of course it's a dog fight

JJ is a Siakam truther Vincent Van Goat

I want to enjoy this series; I’m trying. But my remote finger is getting itchy even though it’s close…

At the very least top 3-4 in your specific craft (passing we’re talking about here). That’d pretty much do it for me.

And just so it’s not so analytical - There were years for example Harden averaged like 11 assists and Bron was at like 8.

He was still not a better passer than Bron. Not even close.

If my requirements are too unyielding, sorry man.

 

[Coupé It]

Good luck to you guys. I’m out.

I can’t watch this.

 

[chao7]

REALLY? A flagrant? That is a terrible call dude. What the ****

 

[Nelson C]

Reckless closeout??? *****
