1. Toronto played its worst half in 3 weeks and they’re down 4 at halftime.
2. Curry seems dead from a superhuman workload 2 nights ago.
3. 2nd half: Less Lowry, more Kawhi.

James Harden. Give both players average role players and Harden takes his team farther. Curry has lived a privileged life with multiple all-star teammates. Harden has had to drag teams to the playoffs with average role players and non-allstars.

OKC's Paul George has been playing well recently, MVP level. Friday he had 45pts. But Saturday nite he had 14pts on 4-19 shooting.

Harden rose to the challenge defensively every single time in the 4th quarter in the All-Star game (Siakam twice in the post).
Notice when Giannis gets the ball and drives on Harden, Harden stonewalls him and forces Giannis to pass.....then notice Harden’s clap! 😆

If the Nets were healthy it would have been a gentleman's sweep of the eventual champ Bucks, 4-1 in the second round and coach Bud would have been fired. But, that just highlights how important "luck" can be to the NBA Champion. It is part of it.

Yes Jalen Green had a poor shooting night (though that was compounded by not getting a good whistle on drives).
However, Jalen had 8 rebounds (tied, lead team) and 5 assists (tied, lead team). No TOs. Was 6-6 in FTs. Was a +10. Jumper was off, did other positive stuff.

Jalen Green spent 2 years under Silas where KPJ was prioritized. Jalen Green has spent 20 games with Ime Udoka. Jalen's development was stunted under Silas and he is playing catchup right now. That doesn't mean he will or will not get there, but it will take him time.

I was thoroughly impressed by Anthony Bennett's G League highlights. Stroke is pure. Pretty quick release. And he is hitting above the break 3's (not just corner shots). Some good pick and pop potential. As a bench role player he could be nice. He is only 26.
Anthony Bennett's
@nbagleague
highlights are impressive. He shot over 45% from three last year, could be a sniper for the

👀 "According to NBA Advanced Stats, Harden has defended a league-high 101 post-ups this season, allowing only 0.60 points per possession on 29.5% shooting. That's tied for the stingiest of the 50 players who have defended the most post-ups."

Teams can put a bullseye on James Harden in the Rockets’ switch-everything scheme. “Come try it and the s— won’t work,” Harden told ESPN. The stats say he’s right, and it’s an underrated reason small ball works for the Rockets.
