"No one's debating that the turnovers are an acceptable thing. His value is offsetting the turnovers that he has. His value is being the second best scorer on this team."
🚨 @JPeterlin responds to @NickWilsonSays on the James Harden conversation with the #Cavs 🔥
45 is so lucky the media don’t care to slander him like they do Harden because he’s objectively been worse this series and has recieved a fraction of the backlash
@statmuse Harden ties Larry Bird for 5th most playoff games with 20+ PTS and 5+ AST in NBA history:
216 — LeBron James
106 — Michael Jordan
93 — Kobe Bryant
87 — Stephen Curry
85 — Larry Bird
85 — James Harden
i think ppl are overdoing it with the harden slander ngl, TOs been horrendous but 22/7/3 on 63% TS as the #2 is more than enough. i get that it will naturally get magnified because our #1 is putting up 24/5/4 on 55% TS
Once again another series where he has to take on the responsibility of being his teams best player in order to win games when he’s not at his peak it’s a sad case for him
This Harden stat wasn’t passing the smell test to me so I decided to track it, times Harden has more TOVs than FGs

Joe Johnson compares James Harden’s playoff struggles to Lamar Jackson:
“They scrutinize James because they know the situations he’s been in the past… It’s kind of like when you look at Lamar Jackson and know he’s going to be great during the regular season. But hell, in the post season can he win us some games? Can we get to the Super Bowl? It’s similar to that

After acquiring OLB Baron Browning on Monday, the Arizona Cardinals passed on any other deadline deals.
Did GM Monti Ossenfort do enough for his Cards club?
