Also, any rest days would most likely affect the other two and not Harden. Throughout Kyrie's career, he has missed about 28% of games (536/744 games played). Like others have said, he looked overly passive looking for teammates in the 1st half, which is natural trying to fit into a new team. We may see the 16-17 version of Harden though where he averaged 29 points/ 8 boards/ 11 assists not the 35+ points version. I think this is correct. Harden’s destiny here seems to be lower points but higher assists and efficiency. Not a terrible trade off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ROTY 863 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 It's only 1 game and he's the shy new guy trying not to step on anyone's toes. Just wait for the Beard to unleash again... it'll happen. I think he was trying to keep sooky kyrie happy by feeding him all game. That **** won't last. If Nash wants the most of out them he'll end up staggering them so they'll all eat plenty.

ez2do4now 195 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I don't think Harden was deferring but rather, he was getting acclimated with Kyrie and KD. Build chemistry. I am sure he would have taken off if either Kyrie or KD had struggled last night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It will be like AD going to Lakers after his supernova seasons in New Orleans, the dropoff will be significant there is no way it won't be playing with KD and Kyrie. They will all be 1st round values but there will be a lot more variance in their lines than normal, less so with KD but more with Kyrie and Harden. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is from 2017-18 and 18-19 This is from last season, the dropoff was not significant. In less minutes, yes he averaged couple less points and boards, but he also put up + 0.3-0.5 3/g, more FTA/g on higher %, similar stocks/g. Like I said before, there will probably be a dropoff in points for Harden he won't be averaging 35+, but he'll make up for it with increase in his other peripheral stats.

G.O.B. 105 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 there is also gonna be a dropoff in 3pg (so far 3.1 compared to 4.4 and 4.8 in the past two years) and as a FT achor (7.9 fta this year, over 11 fta past 2 years). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its like I said in the Kyrie Irving thread, theres no way Kyrie is gonna defer to Harden if anything hes gonna tell Harden you got traded here cause KD and I wanted you, I am not sacrificing my shots. Obviously Harden is much better than this because I swear in the 4th quarter Irving took like 20 shots while Harden took like 3 so I would say no its not time to panic.

They're gonna stagger minutes between Kyrie and Harden. On 1/16/2021 at 4:26 PM, crocp said: Ya, he’s a scrub. Once Kyrie comes back harden gonna be averaging 4/4/3 🤡 This is why I don't take fantasy people's opinions seriously. Can't believe you guys thought having kyrie coming back wouldn't effect harden.
