his rate stats are down a little across the board, which taken together signal a slight regression. otoh subjectively his defense is still amazing, as reflected too by his win shares, your favorite stat

his layup shooting is very good NOT

no, some stuff is worse, some stuff is better. Because he's basically having the same season.
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 21 December 2013 03:53 (ten years ago) link
his box score numbers are very similar but down ever so slightly. i didn't see what simmons said exactly but to say that he's regressed a bit (offensively) isn't the dumbest thing to say

This is what I meant when I said it seemed like bass is just logging time waiting for a trade- no real reason for him to be on that team

this may be true but the thing about bass is he's always done stupid shit like this. i feel like the more you watch him the more frustrating it is, like his game is limited in the dumbest ways.

what do you mean by "box score numbers"
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 21 December 2013 04:22 (ten years ago) link
i mean the box score stuff (true shooting, assist rate, rebound rate, usage (his steal and block rate are up but negligibly)) as opposed to the lineup stuff (win shares)
― k3vin k., Saturday, 21 December 2013 04:29 (ten years ago) link
Crazy comeback by the suns! Awesome game

the TRB% decline is pretty negligible too. It's all pretty negligible, which is my point. Not an "across the board" decline.

yes it's more or less the same, which is bad

taking a step back by staying in the same place, I guess that's like giving a guy the MIP for getting more minutes

Kinda beautiful watching the rest of ILH slowly turn on Harden.
But not as beautiful as seeing Pau smile in-game. Very happy to get behind a Pau/Xhenry/#RamboSwag to snag the last WC playoff spot.

Oh totally. I'm super tired of watching him. He has probably the least court/situational awareness of any starter in the league, but he's always made up for it with that automatic jump shot. On the plus side his lack of hoop IQ also seems to be accompanied by a total ability to be unmoved by what's going on around him which made him ideal to play next to KG...and probably would be good to put next to Dwight again
― z-time champion (agent hibachi), Saturday, 21 December 2013 12:58 (ten years ago) link
I still want to love James Harden but only playing 50% of the game means I can only enjoy watching him play 50% as much really
He's also picking up disturbingly Wade-ish tendencies hanging back to argue with officials rotating late etc and Wade is terrible so

No lakers in the playoffs pls thanks compu we had enough of that last year

harden's exactly the same player as he was last year he' just been really cold from 3 to start the year
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 21 December 2013 16:46 (ten years ago) link
also houston still has to figure out how to play offense w/ dwight on the team
they feel like a team that could go on a 13 game winning streak or something in the second half
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 21 December 2013 16:47 (ten years ago) link
hes getting to the line quite a bit less too
― lag∞n, Saturday, 21 December 2013 16:49 (ten years ago) link
i dunno how to even use sportsVU but i'd bet harden's percentage of drives that end in fouls is about where it was last year but that he's just driving less
aka blame dwight
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 21 December 2013 16:52 (ten years ago) link
the whole team comes off like this imo. they seem like self-satisfied punks.
― Daniel, Esq 2, Saturday, 21 December 2013 17:59 (ten years ago) link
itd be v easy to find out if hes driving less except theres only data for this year xp
― lag∞n, Saturday, 21 December 2013 18:41 (ten years ago) link
his shot selection from what ive seen seems worse than last year too particularly threes
― lag∞n, Saturday, 21 December 2013 18:42 (ten years ago) link
which i you could argue is all howard clogging things up but even so he needs to adjust and basically just stop taking contested pull up threes
― lag∞n, Saturday, 21 December 2013 18:44 (ten years ago) link
also play defense
― lag∞n, Saturday, 21 December 2013 18:45 (ten years ago) link
even just a lil bit
"James, we really need you to play some defense. No, no, not super hard or anything, we want to save your energy for acting like you've been fouled after not being touched on a drive, but maybe just a little bit? Like know which guy you're guarding and where he is? You okay, buddy?"
