  1. harden is one the best off the dribble shooters in league history with elite positional size – 6'5 with a 6'11 wingspan, and is a volume playmaker who can hit most passing reads with subtle manipulation. He's got his signature pocket dribble pass, or will do a slight one more even if he is open for a much better look. Throwing lobs to his centers has never been an issue, and he blends his passing with his dribble very well, and is capable of throwing hit ahead passes to the open man. His bounce pass is extremely precise. He flashes a skip pass every now and then, but he's definitely not a top 3 passer kind of guy. He's left hand dominant all over the floor but it has never stopped him to a huge degree. He's still got the arm swim move when he drives to get by defenders, and a floater to score over the top of the defense. Against smaller guards he'll just plow through them for a layup at the rim in point blank range / or use crafty funky foot tricks since he can't cleanly separate as easily. His body lets him absorb contact for and ones, and he gets to the line at a great rate. He's a one man offense. Obviously a great isolation scorer with step backs, between the legs, pace dribbles, behind the back, has counters on counters, underrated mid range shooter as well. The issue is that while harden is a great shooter, he dosen't shoot off the catch, hindering his fit with other ball dominant stars or better stars who should actually have the ball. While he has elite positional size, his defense or motor aren't there at all. He'll ball stop for no reason at all, get blown by, gamble, and won't get back in transition. He can get a little lackadaisical with his passing decisions, especially late in the game. I just don't see the donovan mitchell thing working, even if mitchell is primarily off the ball. Too much usage.

    Garland is an elite shooter himself, with a quick release and probably one of the nicest strokes in the league. He can generate paint touches quite easily before the injury, and the hope is he gets back to that. In the half court, he'll decimate drop coverage and can break down defenders like he's in a workout with behind the back dribbles, and nashing all over the floor. He has this stomp dribble that's lethal. A signature floater to counter centers who want to contest at the rim, and he's got same hand same foot finishes to mess up his defenders timing. Off the catch, garland can attack closeouts and WILL do so, which gives him versatility on and off the ball, and he'll fire off the catch instantly, and off the bounce he's a good shooter too. Defensively he can generate steals in the passing lanes and swiping down on penetrators, but other than that he's not a good defender.

  2. I'm calling it. LA Cavs NBA finals. 2 scenarios. LeBron chokes because he just can't do his hometown team like that. Or he remembers how they treated him when he went to miami. & He goes off. But I'm leaning more towards him choking.๐Ÿ˜…

  3. Cavs ๐Ÿ’ฏ NOT winning the Title and Harden will request trade in 2027 cause he Choked again in the playoffs lol ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿ˜‚
