The bucks are -500 to win the series and even money to win the whole thing. It would be a massive upset. They are favorite to win the whole thing by a good bit.

Why did you cherry pick 8?

It's a valid argument that his best games of those elimination games are the ones where his teams got fing destroyed. In the games where he was counted on to lead his team in the fourth quarter he fell apart

I also added up his elimination games and he has 3 over 50% (2 of which his team lost by 20+) and 4 games 33% or worse and 2 in the 40-49% range. It's not flattering any way you slice it

Just got tired of adding. His single best plauoff game of his career was an elimination game that I didn’t include.

GSW game 5 he was 5-9 for 17 pts in second half

GSW game 6 he was 6-10 for 16 pts in second half

This is where your memory fails you

You are acting like he was kawhi going 4-21 in the second halves of game 6 and 7 when he lost to a much lesser team in denver..

Harden lost to the best team ever assmebled as the best player on the court. Big difference.

Your obsession with Kawhi is amazing. Like Mr Perfect level obsession

I’m a big hawks guy but this bucks team doesn’t have anything close to the glaring holes that the sixers did.

And I think they are the only injury free team left.

I hear that flavor, but ask yourself this after game #2 all, and I mean all the analysts media personas said these 76Rs are invincible!

Hawks did good but will be swept in the next three games.

I can provide links?

Hawks made those holes you are talking about.

Bucks are real no lying there but past stats don’t mean nothing in this playoff series.

Things have changed overnight and you best recognize it or place a back bet cause these bucks are about to face it.

Wednesday night round up I’ll be here take or give lumps.

Their offense is as good as Philly's either. Giannis is really good but he doesn't have the range of even an injured Embiid and certainly not the free throw ability.

That’s not true at all MIL was 6th in offense Philly was 12. Giannis will destroy capela and I love Clint with all of my heart. Middleton is a better version of Harris.

I don't know why i enter these arguments ever.

Harden sucks in the playoffs in big games. It's a fact and not opinion

Sure if you pick and choose and try to find the smallest size imaginable. His playoff numbers are a lot better than a lot of the greatest players to play in the nba.

To guys like you, down 2-0 v GSW is not a big game. He has 40. Then down 2-1, again that wasn’t a big game. Had 40 again. You are unable to de honest about what a big game is. You diregard the games that he won and went off that were pretty damn big games. The overall playoff numbers five an accurate picture. They are excellent.

Sorry that game 6 and game 7s mean more when you are in an elimination environment. Those stats mean a ton more. Additionally, he didn't shoot over 45% in either of those 2 40 point game, he just hoisted up 30 shots in each and went to the line like 10 times.

Dude is like Kobe in that he takes a ton of shots so of course his stats end up looking good. Difference is Kobe seemed to actually play well in clinching games as opposed to Harden who runs from the moment

Harden stats are better than Kobe across the board. Playoffs and regular season. They really aren’t close either.

Save your self some laughs at your expense and pull up bball ref before you say stuff like this bro.

Imagine thinking Kob was better than harden in elimination games.

Well Kobe did win 5 championships to Harden’s ZERO so that ends the argument, Harden isn’t even a better Houston player than Moses Malone and Malone played there a shorter amount of time LOL

No matter how you slice it, harden better player. Kobe, had better teams. Or lesser opponents to go through.

PER
TS
WS
WS48
BPM
VORP

all favour the same player. Many are very very lopsided. Memory and eye test is a strange thing, especially for someone like you. It is not reliable in the least.

Oh by the way these numbers are all slanted more after this postseason bc harden was better than his career numbers this postseason than all of those averages and this screen shot is only thru 2020.

Way to switch the subject. for your next lesson I will compare hardens playoffs # to guys like d Wade and Steph, and get similar results. Maybe one day you will come to realize that titles are a team accomplishment, and players are best judged by their individual stuff.
