The Clippers are now 4-7 since trading for Harden, or 0-1 in his “ready” state.

Memes aside, he was okay this game, but okay isn’t good enough when you’re with a fully healthy Clippers vs a Reggie Jackson-led Nuggets.

Harden isn’t exactly playing terribly as a Clippers, but at this point in his career, it’s hard to justify an offence-first player on a team as offensively stacked as the Clippers when they’re in desperate need of some more off-ball movement.

Harden is looking to secure a max extension, we’ll have to see what kind of contract he can muster as he gets more into game shape as the season progresses.

    I just thought it would be fun to look up that stats.

    Jordan averaged 23/6/5 with 1.5 steals, 0.5 blocks on 42% FG.

    Ray Allen averaged 22/5/4 with 1.3 steals and 0.3 blocks on 46% FG .

    That’s actually pretty close lol. I expected a really big difference

      2001 is before my time but you got to look at defense too. Defensive rating goes to jordan (i know, not perfect, but i cant watch 160 games for a reddit comment). Which is insane since hes 40 years old.

      Why are you using fg%? Ray took lots of threes while Jordan was bricking constantly . Ray was more efficient: Jordan on the wizards had lakers Russ efficiency and was not a positive player : he took as many shots as Chicago Jordan just missed a lot more n less Fta
