Why does harden come off the bench




















Hispanic Business Council President Javier Palomarez joins Yahoo Finance to discuss how Hispanic workers contribute to the American economy and the potential going forward. A former NBA player has issued an apology after his daughter was seen at a youth basketball game in Orange County throwing a vicious sucker punch that left another girl with a concussion. Charles Barkley comments on team owner Robert Sarver's wife, Penny, sending messages to former employees after allegations surface.

Oklahoma's offense struggled and Spencer Rattler even replaced Caleb Williams for a stretch in the second half. Anthony Davis says the Lakers aren't playing like a championship team, and he's not blaming injuries for the Lakers' blowout loss to the Timberwolves. Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton was disqualified from Friday's qualifying session at the Brazilian Grand Prix after a technical infringement by Mercedes in the latest blow to the British driver's defense of his Formula One title.

The stewards' decision forces Hamilton to start last in Saturday's sprint race at Interlagos in 20th position. Mercedes said it would not appeal the decision. Things are not going as planned in the Swamp this week. FCS Samford leads Florida at the half.

The Warriors wanted to get Kuminga more playing time, and that resulted in a season-high 16 minutes of work on Friday. It was the midfield that dominated, for a change. That role is easy. Come in and impact the game. Landry Shamet scored 21 points and Nicolas Claxton had a career-high 18 for the Nets. Kevin Durant had 14 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. The Nets played without Kyrie Irving after he left their victory in Chicago on Tuesday with a facial contusion.

They still have had their three superstars play together just seven times. I suppose you could call him an offensive "spark" off the bench, but his real role is the go-to scorer for the second unit. Harden combines seamlessly with Eric Maynor and Nick Collison to produce a group that outplayed nearly every team they faced. In fact, according to the wonderful analysis at 82games. Their effective winning percentage was ten points higher, even.

Sure it would. But there would be such a drop off in scoring ability in the second group that, in the end, it would likely hurt the team. Thabo is on the first unit for a reason.

There are plenty of scoring options—especially with a healthy Kendrick Perkins who led the league in dunks the two years prior to coming to OKC—in the starting group. Harden came off the bench with remaining in the first half against the San Antonio Spurs. That's far off their mark in games in which Harden has played since the Nets acquired him from Houston in January. Brooklyn coach Steve Nash chose to bring Harden off the bench, just as he did previously with Kevin Durant when he returned from a lengthy injury absence.
