10? he they carry ball waka for court?

We can all see Harden has been a fraud right from Time, na this one people sey compare to steph? .. All the frauds would get exposed from now on, person go dey go line 15times every night drawing ridiculous fouls, Na now I understand why shefolosa dey bench an for OKC, To think the fraud had the Audacity to go at Giannis is preposterous. Love how the NBA has brought back old school basketball let's see the physical plays

steady986:


Ha. I never hear this one before. So Kyrie is not a generational talent just because he can't run a team? E no make any sense o. Forget the mad handles, he's an elite shooter too. Guy just had a 50/40/90 season averaging 27 a game. How many times has that ever happened in this league?

Put Kyrie and Butler side by side for instance. Butler is the number one option and leading the sh*t out of Miami. Is he a generational talent?

A40:
I like that guys can guard him now. I bet he wishes he could run and just dunk like Giannis

Roland17:


Harden will be fine.. He will make some adjustments to his offense, he is one of the best students of the game when it comes to learning the rules and interpreting on the court. He is also struggling to lose the weight he gained while trying to force a move out of Houston so he looks 2-3 steps slow and heavy with the ball. You may want to check that TO leader because Brodie just posted 10 tonight.

The Lakers were up 26 but somehow lost the game. But again, many of the teams we will see in the post season are trying to figure out their rosters, so I won't read too much into it.

steady986:


You sure there's not more? You no add Iverson? Or are you people listing only the people that led their team to a championship?

joshboo:



Howfar steady how I fit join Una league?? Between na God go punish brodie, played him under points today the werey go score over 30 points.

Khanben:


It will be a huge catastrophe for Harden if his season continues like this, not just for his legacy but also his pocket. Remember he rejected a healthy payday, trying to bet on himself getting a near supermax extension. Added to his detractors who if his poor play continues will start saying he was only a multiple time scoring champion because of the flopping he did in his Houston years

benji93:
What? KD was the primary focus of the defence? All the time? I didn't know that. Remember scoring and being the primary focus of the opposition's defence are not necessarily the same. Saying Westbrook is not the same Caliber is not smart man. Is/Was he a superstar or not? Must every superstar be like Steph? Now it was all Westbrook's fault that KD couldn't win with him? You people are trying to erase the fact that KD could have won with Westbrook. And please this is rather embarrassing coming from you. Be honest. Kyrie played 3 games and half of game 4, and the Bucks where leading in game 4 by 1. Don't make it seem as if he played without Kyrie for all seven games. . Ofcourse you could argue Harden's injury, even though history tells us it won't have been different. , and we both know that. And hopefully you don't bring up the "a toe away from getting to the finals". Cos I could argue for some they were a rim away from winning. . And you are very quick with throwing around some of your words. He took up the scoring load. It sounds like he dwarfed Steph's scoring ability 2 times over. We have not seen KD without any other superstar, whether he can or cannot is speculation although reasonable given his level of talent. I suppose you were not thinking about KD when you mentioned the "we have to see you without a fellow superstar". . You were caught good.

A40:
Too many maga teams in the NBA. He will certainly get his money. What I want to see is just how much of an impact the rule change will make, will he evolve his scoring arsenal because he is quite average for a 3pt shooter and had always hinged on drawing fouls. Or will he just resign to playmaking because in Kyrie's absence I expected he will take more shots instead he is taking fewer shots. It makes no sense, maybe its a confidence thing

Khanben:


Steve Nash 2x, Reggie Miller, Malcolm brogdon have all shot 50/40/90. Nash is even a 2x MVP to boot does that make anyone of them generational talents. Generational talents change the trajectory of franchises, they pick a dead beat franchise and drag them into relevance.

KNIGHTBlaed:


I sha agree with you on this argument. You do not have to be number one option to be a generational talent. Bring in something unique, have a special attribute that the game has not seen before, then be consistent and be on top of your game, that talent is what is referred to as generational, Why? Because generations to come will start adapting to that talent of you and even improve on it. Being a generational talent does not mean you have to be number one on a team. You could be on the same team with KD or Bron, how you wan take be number one option there?
Someone might just come and start scoring free throws facing backwards and will shoot at 90% accuracy, that's a talent that's never been seen before, as long as he's consistent and manages to be amongst top 20, that's generational... generations to come will continue with that skill.
My opinion on the topic tho

birdman:


The NBA posted a series of tweets on the rule change before season started, and Harden was one of the examples they used on what the change meant. Which is why I stayed away from Harden in fantasy this year. I fully expected his scoring to drop by 10pts at least. Of course when my enemies picked him in round 1, I could not but laugh and thank my God

birdman:


papa benji, you just enter market dey shoot, I dont even think you know why you are shooting This is a comparison between Klay and Durant on the definition of generational player. So anything you have against Durant above, awhen applied to Klay, still makes Durant more of a generational talent than Klay. Continue to dey shoot o

steady986:


Lol. By 10 points, do you mean from 35 to 25, or from 25 to 15? Because na 25 him average last year o

I still think he can average 25 easily even with this rule chance. Especially now that Kyrie is absent.

benji93:
I am praying for that man. He shall not fall sick or get injured. I want to see something.

birdman:


I actually hate when Russ has games like this. Because it fuels his desire to chuck shots. We know he wont shoot 55FG% every night. Even with 33pts, his +/- was 1.

The real takeaway imo is that Lakers defense need to be able to hold teams like the Spurs to a 100pts or less in regulation. This team is too old to play hero ball 3 to 4 times a week. Defense is the only way out for this team.

benji93:
He's been averaging 17 so far. So not too far off the 15 point target.

birdman:


15pts? you are wicked

A40:
Not even a strong believer in karma per se but when you consider how unprofessional he went about leaving the Rockets you begin to wonder. Perhaps if he got to training camp in shape he wouldn't have gotten hurt last season, we will never know. The Harden in Houston would take 25-30 shots in the regular season knowing fully well thats what it would take. Surely he must know what he is putting out there does not give his team a fair shot at winning

aliondo:
Lol...Wetin Harden do ona na??
