I agree and thinking about that game 7 almost kept me from making the statement on the whole. But think I think about how much of Hardenās game at that time was based on him getting to the line and hitting FTās and he failed to do that in that game and this where Iām taking some liberties, but I think that was in part due to the fact he was dead on his feet with fatigue after pounding the rock for nearly 100 games that season because his style of play didnāt help him.
All that said, the 27 missed 3ās went from insane, to comical to tragic to epic all in one half.
As a Clippers fan, I am bummed about the Harden/PJ Tucker trade
Glad to lose Marcus Morris and donāt care one way or the other about KJ Martin. Donāt like losing Batum and RoCo, very little real depth at the 4 spot now
Vecenie assessed him as a wing on his podcast. Discussion starts at 1:19:00 or so. Really interesting analysis of the different types of 90% defense guys. Contrasts him with the Kevin McCullar archetype.
So sort of off topicā¦ todays games were for the in season tournament. Who even knew that?
In season Tournament is dumb and pointless. Change my mind.
Maybe if they added the G-League teamsā¦ and the WNBA teams tooā¦ how about the final 4 teams from the year beforeā¦ now that would be an interesting in season tournament.
Does Dre need to get out of Atlanta? For better or worse heās basically the exact same player he was during his rookie year.
I honestly expected a bit more from him by now given his talent. Heās had flashes especially that one game in the playoffs but thatās about it.
Sam finished with 11 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal on 4-7 shooting. Glad he played well on a night that about every other Hoo in the NBA was out with an injury (or in the case of Dre was ejected).
