Mar 26, 2017 saw this the other day, i think the only guys who've contested less 3s are Gobert & Whiteside
Mar 26, 2017 nvm this is different. it was something on fs1 showing how he refuses to contest 3s and just crashes the paint for boards.
Mar 26, 2017 he obviously said something to them if theyre going out of their way to let him get them lol
Mar 26, 2017 This also is deliberately ignoring all the work he does on the offensive glass, which pretty much no PG's do. The man acts like he's a 7 foot center when it comes to rebounding, so why would he go contest 3s? I'm not going to sit here and act like on the defensive end that there is alot of interference. But you can't ignore the stuff he'll do on the offensive end for another possession which plays into his averaging of the trip dub.
Mar 26, 2017 Yea it's amazing what he's done this season. Never thought I'd see someone average a triple double in my lifetime. Players are just getting better. To say some of these dudes couldn't compete decades ago is ASININE. However, he really does get some empty a--- triple doubles sometimes. I mean a TD is a TD, but d---, it's becoming a novelty at this point.
Mar 26, 2017 yeah undoubtbly he's great, but theres really no way anyone can deny that he pads his stats
Mar 26, 2017 If you get 6-7 easy rebounds and fight for 3-4 hard ones on the offensive end how is that stat padding? Have you seen the OKC lineup? This is a weak thread caping hard for Harden. Yall wanna say Russ pads stats cause he's doing brazy things. But nobody wants to look at how much better of a roster Rockets have compared to OKC. In this generation, shooters > paint players. Rockets are loaded with them and are already set to break the previous Warriors 3 pt record.
Mar 26, 2017 Give Russ the Rockets and he'll have the same record if not possibly better. Cannot discount his team's record when he puts up a trip dub.
Mar 26, 2017 i mean theres literal proof in the op of him stat padding so this is a pretty stupid post
Mar 26, 2017 harden is a much better passer than russ, d'antonis system caters to harden way more than russ.
Mar 26, 2017 This pretty cringeworthy. They should honestly redefine rebound. Most of these are meaningless gimmies.
Mar 26, 2017 I already addressed the video in a previous post where I said i'm not gonna act like he doesn't. But the video in OP lacks total context and this thread is pretty stupid. You're completely ignoring his offensive glass work because he gets easy rebounds on D due to his teammates.
Mar 26, 2017 i literally just gave him credit for being great, literally the only point ive made is that he clearly pads his stats ^^^^^
