Of course he is. As Westbrook was yours There kind of play can't lead to trophies, despite their excellent individual qualities
I would argue Westbrook is outplaying Harden this year at least the last 2 months
Disagree. Westbrook takes advantage of Hardens gravity. Teams are game planning against Harden. Not Westbrook. Westbrook has been doing a better job taking advantage of his opportunities since christmas but he isn´t getting double teamed at the 3-point line.
Overall I agree with Omahen. That´s why I want Luka to develop a more diverse skill set. Just spamming isos or high pick and roll won´t work in the playoffs.
I would argue Harden is all about 3’s and FTs whereas Russ has to work the paint area and battle to get his points. Tonight is a good example. Looking at scoring it was Harden 29 to Russ 21. A deeper dive shows Harden only made 6 shots (3-12 from 3) to Russ 10 (1-2 from 3). But Harden was gifted 16 FTs to Russ 0. Harden stat pads with FTs and Russ works harder to get his points.
