Yup I got him at over 29.5

I feel comfortable. They don't want it to get within 15

I thought Dame was better than steph curry

At least he was a week ago

He doesn't have the same luxuries as Mr. Country Club: KD, Klay and Dray



I'm being a bit of a hater, Steph is the best shooter ever, but put him on this Portland team against one of the best teams ever and he would get smacked. This Laker team is a super team that has been overlooked

That far ass three pointer was an eff you to dame. Lebron is our to prove a point: he's still the man

Who the hell said he was better than Steph?

Im sure having a dislocated finger is bothering him though.

But besides people making some bad calls pages ago, this is what the Lakers are good at. They play good defense on guards and bigs. Most people dont know, but Caruso is a really good defender, and hes made it hard for Dame. Same with KCP, and Green obviously.

Making how he played in the first quarter all the more unacceptable to me. Great players need to make a mark on the game in situations where the team needs him most. Bron, AD and crew were scoring at will and Dame was playing hot potato with the ball when he actually went and got it.

Ahhhhh check if it was 30+ or 30.5+. If it's just 30, then it would cancel and you win the laker portion

Over 29.5 before those free throws had me nervous af. I bet $150 on it lol

The guy shoots far more than any other player in the league. If we tally up the 10 players with the highest fg's he's 9th in percentage within that 10. Middle of the pack in 3 pt%. #1 in turnovers and had around 180 more free throws than any other player in the entire league.

He's nothing great history wise and he's not even close. He's a middle of the road good player. Take away his signuture flop and he's basically CJ McCollum. They would be near identical if CJ got the same calls. CJ actually would be slightly better with his better percentages.

Lol

He's 4th on that list in eFG% but yeah use the outdated one.

He, MJ and Wilt are only players to ever average 30+ three years in a row. Hate his style but don't pretend he isn't an all time great scorer who scores with historic efficiency as well.

Bring Harden's FTs down to Giannis level and guess what? He still leads the league in scoring, easily.

Taking FTs out of it completely, Harden scores 4 pts more per game than CJ McCullum with a lot more assists, rebounds and steals.

Your post was one of the worst I've seen on here in regards to Harden and that's saying something because there are a crapton of Harden haters here.

Oh and he was 3rd in FGA per game this year so no he doesn't shoot far more than anyone else.

3rd rule of WZ fight club: Never quote yourself.

I mean did you guys watch LeBron last night? I'm not a fan of his either but that is greatness. Kobe, damn I remember hating him... You know why? Dude would have me frustrated as hell when he would pull off such magic, hit an impossible shot, them proceed to hit clutch shots. Jordan hitting HUGE shots diminishing the careers of some my favorite players in Malone and Stockton. Who would be a lot farther up the greats list if they won something, but Jordan, the greatest ever, was in the way. I could go on and on about true greatness. Tim Duncan for example.

What an insult and embarrassment to all-time greats adding a guy thats known for nothing beside his flopping. A guy that's accomplished little to nothing as far as championships or team accolades. Even being surrounded with guys like Chris Paul who imo is the real MVP, he's accomplished nothing.

So yeah, think my comment is dumb but comparing him to greats like Jordan is an embarrassment to NBA history. A guy that literally needs refs help to be "great". A guy that hasn't even sniffed the finals. A guy that never will.

He's a good player. Hes had some amazing moments. But he's middle of the road, average on the greatness. Nothing special. 10-20 years from now his legacy will be that he was a flopper not some great.

I thought the Clippers would give the Lakers all they could handle but not now. George must come through tonight, they don't want to go behind 3-2. Kawhi and Sweet Lou can't do it all by themselves.
