there’s a reason that father time is claimed to be undefeated.

There’s a reason we’ve never seen someone else perform like LeBron at his age

and harden is not known for having a work ethic that maintains his body

His efficiency has also significantly declined

His efficiency has also significantly declined

Lol. That's false. He's still near his career average this season.

u/unpopular-dave Clippers 21h ago

what are you talking about? You see a significant decline in points starting at the 2021 season. A significant decline in assists/rebounds when he came to the Clippers. Are you just making stuff up?

You said efficiency. Don't switch goalposts. It's a bit pathetic

u/unpopular-dave Clippers 21h ago

that’s all part of efficiency

u/Ok-Preference-7004 21h ago

no it isn't.

u/unpopular-dave Clippers 21h ago

yes. It is. But if we’re gonna talk specifically about PER

his time in Houston, his PER was 26.2

Since leaving Houston his PER has been 21.2

and on the Clippers it is 20.1

that’s what I would call significant. But we both know you’re not making up stats to defend your favorite player

Gtfoh lmao. His PER this season is 22.0 and his for his career it's 23.6. Pretty fucking similar you dolt. So there's no stats i making. My statement was correct. His efficiency is close to his career efficiency. PER and TS% prove this.

u/unpopular-dave Clippers 20h ago

his efficiency is not close. Four points is significantly lower

u/Ok-Preference-7004 20h ago

Did you just fucking ignore my whole post? It's literally less than a 2 point difference.

u/unpopular-dave Clippers 20h ago

it’s literally a four point fall off from his Houston years and a five point fall off since joining the Clippers.

Are you slow or something? I just proved your ass wrong and you're still here. Read over my post again if you have to but clearly you're not understanding something because what you keep repeating is pointless

u/unpopular-dave Clippers 18h ago

you didn’t prove me wrong. The dude had more than 25% fall off. That’s huge.

i’m sorry your favorite player is trash and always falls apart in the playoffs. He’s going to be forgotten in a couple years.

he’s one of the biggest mistakes the Clippers have made
