36% from the floor, 29% from three point range. As bad as that stretch is, his FG% this season (43%) is better than last season (42%).

Whats the problem with this guy? I've seen maybe two Blazers games this season. I watched the Blazers against Houston last season, and he was balling out.

Is he always a poor shooter? Whats the deal?

Good shooter he's just in a slump. Either it's his legs are tired or the new shoes are really affecting him.

Check out Westbrooks stats recently or Derrick Rose (has an excuse sort of). Happens.

True.

But he shot them at the same rate last season when he shot 39%. This season hes down to 36%.

God has not been good to him as of late.

Still, he has the nerve to complain even though he believes God has a plan for everyone and plans everything. :facepalm

More like doing his best Harden impression from the first few months of the season.

He's a shooter. They all have slumps. He'll recover just like the beard did.

Harden shot 41/34/90 in November, 48/39/88 in December, and 49/43/88 in January.

Which months would you be referring to?

Kobe's career averages in FG%/TS% are much, much better than that so how is that a Kobe impression? ****ing idiot.

No surprise, Lillard has never been an efficient player, but he has the it factor and isn't afraid of taking the final shot nor shying away from any opportunities.

Harden the suppose MVP is doing a Kobe impersonate as well with that 4/21 game. :applause:

lol what?

he has a career 56% TS/113 ORTG and is at 57% TS/115 ORTG this season despite his recent slump. that's pretty good. he's very high variance, but nowhere near inefficient.

54% over his last 10 games isn't very Kobesque.

51/46/89 over his last 20 doesn't sound like Kobe.

He has looked overworked recently. Hes 5th in the NBA in minutes and I think it is catching up with him a bit.

Yet Harden will never be as good as Kobe was in his prime, won't even sniff 5 titles, and will probably get knocked out in the first round yet again. :oldlol:

Stop being so defensive..

Hardens first 11 games this season 37/27%:confusedshrug:

I just asked which months you were referring to...

That's not defensive, that's asking for clarification.

What does that have to do with Lillard's FG% over the 11 games?

How is a 36% FG/49% TS even remotely close to being a impression of somebody with a career 45%/55.3% TS over 19 seasons?

Enjoy your first round exit.

In October Harden shot 37/36%.
Ahh, in one month he played two total games and shot 37%.

:lol Credit for trying.:applause:

Like this:
2014-15

22/6/6 37/30/81

22/6/5 43/37/86

I know right, its like, they aren't even the same person or something.

I am aware but you don't seem to comprehend that some players have less games in some months. The sample size between Lillard this month is the same as Hardens from his first 11 game so the comparison is valid.
Right, but you said months. That's the key term here, and I asked you to clarify what you meant by months. Just trying to understand which months you were speaking of.

To be fair, they both played like ******** in their respective 11 game stretch, but Lillard's is coming in the middle of the season, at a point when the Blazers have lost 6 of their last 8 games. Its concerning.

Houston was 9-2 in Harden's ******** stretch because Harden averaged 7 assists and 6 rebounds and 2 steals during that stretch.

EDIT: Apparently ISH considers ball sack a bad word.

Lillard's been killing my FG% in fantasy this last month :facepalm Westbrook too

No I initially compared 11 games of theirs which was a similar sample size and you insisted on me mentioning a month with no other prerequisites and as far as I am concerned his spell in October was in fact a "month"

On the other hand as you mentioned his team won which is all that really matters. A bad stretch can come at anytime, I am sure Harden will have another one considering the effort level he has been playing with. I don't think Rocket fans should really care what he is doing in the RS since he has now played two straight playoffs where he looked gassed and couldn't get a lot of value done which has resulted in two early exits.

Edit: Yeah lol, a lot of PG friendly word are censored.
My bad I had you confused with KungFu.

He said 'months'
