Harden ISO to close games is garbage offense.

    Gobert didn’t even foul his actual shot attempts twice.

    Just terrible offense regardless.

    CP3/D’Antoni opting for that horseshit as supposed offensive geniuses makes me sick.

    Not sure about the timing of this post. Harden had his best quarter in the 4th, and even though you might not think Gobert actually fouled him, contact was made (as even the ESPN commenters would agree) and based on how they were calling things for Mitchell in the 3rd, I’d say the calls were more than fair.

    After the shots.

    Harden iso at the end like that have been awful dating back to even last year.

    I have no idea why they won’t run the offense for God’s sake.

    I thought he actually did pretty well down the wire tonight. Play by play he outclassed Mitchell and got us the lead and position to win.

    Let me be clear. The foul calls made it effective. The actual shots and offense was complete and utter trash.


    Gobert flat out made him miss on floaters, the collisions afterwards are what bailed the team out.

    Sorry to break the news to you, but Harden ISO is essentially our offense.

    Harden vs Rubio is a mismatch worth exploiting, and it worked out for us. So what are you complaining about?

    He attacked the rim and got the line. He scored 12 points in the 4th. He’s the best iso player in the game and produced 1.11 points per possession when he iso’s. It’s good offense.

    What makes his offense trash when he goes to the line because fouled? What part of two points from the free throw line is also good offense you don’t understand?

    Him initiating offense at the key has been our primary option down the wire all season long. There were nights yeah he completely bobbled on a few critical possessions but for most part he has been money. You don’t go away from that now, especially the other options are not better.

    I would like to see Harden ISO at around the free throw line instead of outside the arc. During McHale era he used to do that spin move and step back mid range and he was quite effective at that.
