[everysingletime]

Harden was 5/19 from 3.
Took 37 shots to put up 41 points.

I'm not really surprised by these numbers anymore

[Based Jesus]

Young Jason Kidd

 

[addict4sneakers]

teams don’t respect Lonzo turning the corner

 

[antidope]

He's figuring it out

 

[QU!K]

He was 4/15 and got benched within a few minutes for turning it over every time Ben guarded him

You forgot the part where the Sixers lost and he finished with 19, 8, 12

But whatever helps you sleep at night

 

[chrisftdot]

So basically he got a free ticket to the game

 

[QU!K]

He's figuring it out

No them Laker boys specifically stated he’s already put it together already

 

[Moheezy]

I don’t think Kawhi-borg is programmed to pay attention to that kind of stuff...

Those words were probably wiped out of his database a long time ago.

I would debate if the Year's worth of Free Chick Fill A was a better prize. lol

my biggest issue with the analytics driven organization is that these nights are gonna happen, but the team is firm in "keep shooting". failing to diversify the offense and not having true defensive stoppers will be this teams biggest issue in april/may/june.

It is if you do the math.

Hell 2 Authentic Ewing jerseys would’ve been worth more

 

[SpittaJetLife]

So he sucks

 

[703 hwy]

At this point they're just two dudes on the same team
I guess we have to wait until the Finals to see them actually play together.

 

[dacomeup]

Def seems like a Buc stat.

my biggest worry is that like you said, there will be nights like that in the offs but those are like Russ’s playoff splits essentially without CP there I worry how the Rox can win if Harden isn’t hitting

 

[P C H]

my favorite player

As I’ve said before his shooting hasn’t been and never will be the issue

 

[lamekilla]

That "first round loss again" comment was beautifully accurate

 

[do work son]

the organization rationalizes it by looking at full season stats which is absurd to me. the playoff sample size is so small and the margin of error so thin, it doesn't make sense relying on an 82 game sample size where half the teams there aren't the ones you face in the playoffs. all that 3 and layup stuff is cool until shots aren't falling and the defenses are specifically geared to taking those things away. gotta take midranges from time to time to keep teams honest. 3>2 but 2>0.

 

[do work son]

It is if you do the math.

it isn't. when they say "a year's worth" they really mean 52 coupons for a chicken sandwich meal. assuming that's an 8 dollar value, that's $416 dollars in chick fil a which also isn't fungible money.

midrange is playoff basketball. Teams are too good And big to be taking contested 3’s come playoff time.

 

[everysingletime]

midrange is playoff basketball.

You mean for teams beside GS right?
