The way I see him is he's an erratic player who needs usage to produce result inefficiently and will come up with big games every now and then, which is a double edged sword just as case with past hyped players like Monta Ellis and so on: could hinder other players development while fooling people he actually deserves all the touches/system and big paycheck.

Absolutely atrocious... why would I even want to watch this?
Welcome to the NBA of 2019: both teams wear away uniforms, typical scores are 150-100 and games are broadcast like movies.

Today’s game isn’t for the purist, its geared more toward novice stat watchers & betters, hence the emphasis on stats & highlights. The problem is, the product isn’t watchable & the commentary is biased. The NBA has been reduced to waiting for free agency to see who goes where...
I think not a lot of defense is being played,” he said prior to the game. “Teams are scoring like it’s the 1960s or ’70s. It’s 132 to 112, 142 to 121. There’s no defense. There’s just none. We got into a Utah-Boston game and it’s [98-86] and you can see the difference in effort in every single night, which I get from an NBA player’s standpoint, the amount of games we play, but sometimes you have to make guys miss.
“We’re all NBA players and if you see an open look at the rim, I’m pretty sure we’re going to knock it down over 50 percent of the time if it’s wide open. More or less no defense and effort. That’s what it comes down to; nobody should be scoring that many points.

NovU wrote:But if this is ever to happen, it wont be because of Harden as other teams like healthy gsw are also capable of putting up 150 pts in regulation and Harden hadnt had enough success in the playoffs to enforce such rule alone. When Shaq was dominant, he was getting a multiple championships and league wanted to explore options to limit his brute power hence implementing 5 seconds backing down rule which eventually forced teams away from playing post moves.
For now, Harden probably remains one of the rarest players in the league to have potential to score 80 points until Curry, Klay, or KD comes back. Might as well enjoy it.
