    @GshockFPS Před 4 měsíci +81

    People were saying the clippers had too many ballhogs but heres the thing. PG, Klaw, and Harden are always threats on the court so if all three are out somebody is getting worse coverage. So it's like yeah they might have some slow possesions but they are all good enough playmakers that they are going to force a lot of easy buckets. NBA defenders are gods at reading body language too so all harden needs to do is turn his head or move his ankle a certain way and he can get the other people open just because of how much a threat he is.

    As an outside fan of the game, someone who never played at any level and became a fan in my early 20's, it ALWAYS blows my mind the sheer amount of technicality and thought process, check list type shit that goes on during a single possession.

    Players are prideful and sometimes make things harder on themselves just to prove a point. Just take the easy basket and win who cares all the stuff you want to show you can do nobody cares people just want to win.

    Hes averaging 17PPG and 8.4APG. Idk why people think he doesnt deserve to be an allstar. This is prime CP3 and Steve nash numbers still

    I like the positive outlook but it’s only a matter of time when Harden is going to be Harden & he’ll move to a new team & the process will start all over like Groundhog Day. 😂
