FGA / TS% of the “Big 4” through 8 games ordered by shots taken:
PG 18.3 FGA / 54.8 TS%
Kawhi 15.9 FGA / 57.9 TS%
Russ - 11.9 FGA / 43.9 TS%
Harden - 10.1 FGA / 65.2 TS%
Harden needs to take way more shots
Big adjustment coming off the bench for Russ like how we went 0-6 post harden trade when before pretty sure Brodie-PG-Kawhi had the highest net rating in the entire league dating back to the last 5 or 6 games of last season and start of this season. Pretty strange to break that lineup up but hard to sacrifice someone has to.
Anyways we haven’t played any good teams yet since the trade besides the mavs and Knicks which didn’t go well let’s see how the pelicans, kings, nuggets and warriors fare.
No surprises here. Russ is the least efficient and should take less shots, which will happen now that he’s in the second unit. Harden is getting in the groove of his game and the team so I expect him to take more shots and hopefully keep that efficiency. Kawhi should be the one with the most shots, but PG has been so good that we just need to let him be in rhythm.
Good use of quotation marks around Big 4, OP
You Harden stans are the worst.
