Ouch. Sportscenter posted this on instagram, and for some reason the celtics fan page did too.
that's really not a fair comparison
Why did they arbitrarily choose December 3? Because that's when
Harden started to putting up a wilt chamberlain type of ppg streak
I think it’s just another way of quantifying how insane Harden’s numbers have been. Kyrie is an All-NBA level scorer, and Harden dwarves him.
That's is case when your are the only option on the team with the coach who likes the one trick pony offense.
The bigger perspective is that all of these 35 PPG scorers teams flame out in the first round and revolve around 45 regular season wins.
Kobe, MJ, Tmac now Harden.
Certainly it is not their fault that their teams go home early, but track record is clear. That architecture is limited to being a fun early exit team. One threat is easy to deal with, 5 threats (Boston, GSW) is hard to deal with.
