basketball fans only know how to compare players by rings. It's oversimplified and misleading. Rings are how you compare teams, not players.

More concerning to me was how Capela got owned by freaking Broke Lopez

This is a great point. And I think I have heard Harden say before that he tests things in games, files it away and uses things later when needed. So while some plays can be "bored QB" I think some are definitely "trial balloons" as well.

I’m going to go against the grain here and say that Harden, much like a great boxer is testing the defense to setup something later. When Harden throws these full court passes he’s making sure that the defense knows that they can’t rest. Great boxers setup knockout punches with a “throw away punch”, this is a punch that they throw knowing it’s not going to land but distracts the opponent from seeing what he is trying to setup.

When Harden throws these long passes he is forcing the defense to sprint back every time and even though he is “throwing away” several possessions per game, the net result is that the defense can no longer press, trap, or double Harden anymore because they have seen Harden is willing to throw it down the court and setup Capela.

I agree with Will that Harden is toying with defenders and that at times he gets careless with the ball but I truly believe the Rockets data wizards have crunched the numbers and that the full court pass is a strategical inclusion to Hardens game.

Putting Harden in charge of your offense is like hiring Picasso to paint your family portrait.

Most of the time, the results will be glorious, but there's always the risk your daughter will have a foot coming out of her head.
