He is the same player, except he is now making different reads due to being on a different team with different teammates, not taking (and missing)...
Yes, Harden still leads league in ISOs per game. Just not nearly as much of a statistical outlier as it has been in last 3 seasons. SeasonISOs...
That's right. It would be crazy for him to dominate the ball and score 30-35 points a game like he did in Houston, while playing next to grade-A...
On that spectrum it hasn't changed much from what I can tell. Do you really think ball-dominant players who are primarily distributors versus...
It has everything to do with who he is playing with. No one is suggesting otherwise.
You keep talking about "actual game" like that means something. Can you explain what is the difference between "actual game" and what he's...
As a Net: 20.3 PPG in 40.4 MPG in 8 games with KD and Kyrie 23.2 PPG in 36.1 MPG in 6 games with just Kyrie 33.0 PPG in 40.3 MPG in 2 games with...
The scoring prediction was pretty accurate. Harden has played most of his games without both KD and Irving, and he has also played more minutes...
His free throw rate (FTs per FGA) is lowest that its been since his rookie year. The percentage of his FGs that are 3s is the lowest its been...
Nothing has changed, except how he is playing. But other than that, nothing has changed! As @Easy pointed out, people are talking about two...

I don't really get what you mean when you say "nothing has changed about his game". The quoted article explains myriad ways in which he is playing...
That's undoubtedly true for some people. The one you quoted appears to be a somewhat casual Nets fan, in particular.
I think there are two effects. Nets fans are of course going to change their opinion on him, even if he played exactly the same as in Houston....
Does anyone else notice that Harden seems to bark a lot at teammates when the Nets have a defensive breakdown? If the Nets hit an extended rough...
I think it’s a combination of those things. He does seem more selective with his shots because he’s embracing a distributor role. Still, it seems...
I haven't forgotten the hate. Nor have I forgotten that Harden has received a ton of MVP consideration, and it's a little weird that you're saying...
Top 3 in MVP voting in 4 straight years is not getting consideration? What other player received that much consideration over that period of time?
What sort of ultimatum are you think of? I'd be surprised if the NBA actually forces players to talk about vaccination against their will.
