Has Harden hurt or helped his cause tonight? I can see he has tons of talent, I'm not sure if he has a scorers mentality or the work ethic he should have...

I thought he played a great game, but once again put up modest numbers. I am getting the feeling my love for his game is like enjoying a well aged bourbon over settling for natty light... :lol:

The thing with Harden is he doesn't have to go off for them to win games. He only took 6 shots tonight, and if his teammates could've knocked down some open looks, he would've had quite a few more assists. He played a solid all around game, nothing special.

 

You know and I know he played good, but games like that don't get you on the AA team...However it well get him paid...

:lol:I've snuggled up to the beast for years...:lol:

He didn't need to score for them to win.

 

Exactly, Meeks has to score every game for his team to have a chance which makes it even more impressive to put up his numbers.

Seriosly, he played decent, but he wasn't that good. He's the best guard in college IMO, but today wasn't why I would think that.

To me, it just clairifies why Meeks has such gaudy scoring numbers.

He didn't need to score for them to win.

 

Yeah but he can't keep putting up 13pts, 5reb's and 3ast and expect any national recognition...

If that was his normal stat line, I'd agree.

Well its not like he has a bad FG%, so it must mean he's taken well contested shots and still converting, I give him credit for that not grief...

Which to me is more impressive. Don't you think if you and I know Meeks has to go off to win that the opposing coaches know it too?

3-5 He's pretty good I guess.

So simple, but oh so true...

To me, it just clairifies why Meeks has such gaudy scoring numbers.

 

There are two sides to it. Meeks is the focal point for any defense. Also, he has fewer scorers around him, making assists tougher.

 

As mentioned before, he has good shooting percentage numbers, so it's not like he is forcing everything.

I think Harden is a pretty solid player, but I would take Meeks over him any day!

Both are very good, but fill different roles on their team when necessary.
