That's about as casual as it gets

Harden is in a cute system, though.

Lebron's shooting percentage is enough to end this argument by itself

James is the architect of the best offense in the history of the league.

And the best isolation defender in the league too at last glance.

Talent on each other's teams sure as shite isn't even. Bron is doing more with less.

the Glaring difference between them is in the single best one number metric that we have access to. Ws/48. Where harden is damn near 20% better.

He isn't the architect of anything

That'd be the coach, who has made a living creating great offenses.

James makes top 50 all time and two time nba mvp Steve Nash look like an udder bum comparatively in that offense. Oh and how did that offense work without a nash or harden architecting it.

James Hardens best teammate: CP3
Lebrons: uhhh...Love? Dwade?


That's the metric I use. LeBron is winning with scrubs compared to James Harden.

Ws/48 isolates each individual players contribution.

Mike was COY last year. And he earned it. But he will tell you himself that All of the credit goes to James.

Yea we seeing the people who used that same argument last year with Westbrook are getting lotsa laughs in their direction this year.

D'antoni ball reminds me of Mike Leach's airraid offenses. Fun to watch, but gimmicky

Of course, I'm a spurs fan and he is 0-5 against the bearded one in the playoffs. So I'm sure that is influencing me more than anything...

Oh it's WS/48, I thought you were always about the big picture and taking into account all advanced statistics.

What about 2014-2015 again...?

*They’re

poor teammates is weak as all get out when we got metrics that isolate the player contribution.

AND. Hardens squad is worlds better than Westbrook and Lebrons are/have been.

They are much better than any talent discrepancy would lead you to believe.

If you gotta pick only one single number metric, it’s ws/48. I always look at the big picture but for brevity sake sometimes reference the single number metrics if they are representative of what I see when looking at all things. Ive said this before but will say it again. I’m not a big metrics guy but use them to help guys like you see what I see with my eyes. You will probably never have the eye test that I have, the metrics I use allow you to see what I’m seeing. They are the support I use. Not what my evals are based on.
