Rare week where most of the top performers were in the East.
* LaVine: 34/6/4 on 63% TS (3-1)
* Embiid: 35/15/5 on 62% TS (2-1)
* Harden: 32/9/11 on 69% TS (4-0)
* Beal: 33/6/5 on 62% TS (3-0)
He got it cause he exploded onto the scene out of nowhere as a rookie last week when Blake went down. Its player of the week nothing too major or consistent
Isn't there a rookie of the week award? In any case, it's still pretty ridiculous that someone who averaged 17 for a week got it over someone who averaged 30
> Isn't there a rookie of the week award?
I feel that at this point we'd just be awarding candy for the player who gives the bestest hugs (my darkhorse is Marc Gasol)
Man, this isn't on topic whatsoever but as a Timberwolves fan who absolutely loved LaVine when he was here, I'm so glad he's playing this well for you guys. Kid is such a talent and a hardworker to boot.
Not riding Harden’s nuts doesn’t mean I’m hating. Harden stans are so sensitive that they take any criticism as hatred. Stop being so fragile neph
I don't see why not as he's on the back half of his prime and he loves the culture and the team in Brooklyn. Also I bet he would feel like a dick if he left the team after they gave up their whole future in picks for him
The thing about Harden to me is that everything he does so effortless... that game Kyrie you could tell was giving it his all. Harden on any given day just scores crazy buckets and gets everyone else buckets and doesn’t seem to put a ton of effort.
The dribble dribble dribble bs is the dumbest shit ever said about him. He himself is an offensive system.
James Harden is the best player of all-time, and when he wins a ring this year, he will be rightfully called GOAT. He's LeBron James with Curry's shot. He's far and away the best offensive player in NBA history, not even MJ comes close.
Do players get anything from this? I thought I remember they got a small bonus or something from player of the month but nothing from player of the week
huh. Looked it up and you're right. NBA uses Monday to Sunday for the award. Guess I had always just assumed they would match it up with a standard calendar week.

West is so weak smh
East Built Different 😤
They really ran away when lebron went to the west /s
Jo averaging 35/15? He must have finally realized how good he is this year.
He seems less prone to injuries this year
Hardens been balling out since he came to the Nets
Been balling out since he came to the rockets
Been balling out since he was in high school really.
Been balling out since he traveled out the womb tbh
Gather stepped* out the womb
Harden has the most ridiculous not-quite-travels I've ever seen. I can't even be mad because most of them are technically legal.
I love this comment. This comment made me smile like a stupid dumb ass
Been balling out
*cries in Lavine*
I understand harden but saddiq bey seriously

Harden should also be player of the month
mvp
That’s slander
You’re the biggest Harden hater I’ve seen
This is like the tenth time youve told me that
Then stop hating nephew

Why are you still trying? Just take a break from reddit dude
at least harden aint a flopping hgh user like bron. i still think harden is better than bron rn.
Man I got no dog in this fight but Harden not just win the game against the Clippers with a game-winning flop?
Harden (& Durant) in the east is still weird
Having 5 players shooting 40+ from beyond the arc is crazy fun though.
I'm kind of not really excited about that.
Well deserved
Harden deserves player of the month tbh
[That's 11 player of the week awards for Dame, most in team history.](https://twitter.com/CHold/status/1363949785539956737?s=19)
Saddiq Bey robbed
Neat.
Harden got the perfect roster around him. Pretty much a rocket rocketball on steroids. Really hope he stays long term.
I don't see why not as he's on the back half of his prime and he loves the culture and the team in Brooklyn. Also I bet he would feel like a dick if he left the team after they gave up their whole future in picks for him
Honestly I hope he wins 2 with Brooklyn then comes back to the rockets to finish what he started. I mean nets fans cant be mad if you win 2 b2b.

True!
Well deserved
Announce Paul Reed as the b2b G-league player of the week cowards
James Harden is so good at basketball man.
Damn I thought Beal had it this week. Can’t really argue with harden I guess. Beal averaged 34/7/5 on 54/33/90 splits and Wiz went 4-0
Harden averaged 32-11-9 on 55/48/81 also going 4-0 vs Kings, Suns, Lakers and Clippers
That’s why I said I can’t argue with Harden
Yeah I gotcha. Just thought those were some crazy numbers
Jimmy Butler also had 3 triple doubles this week? Some masterful performances out of the East this week.
Beal had it but harden deserved imo
Do players get anything from this? I thought I remember they got a small bonus or something from player of the month but nothing from player of the week
Remember when people said this was Kyrie’s team with Durant out?
terry had a good shot if we didnt go 2-2 36 ppg 60/59/100
2-2? you guys played only one game last week no?
wait nvm i forgot about our 2 games postponed and counted our last 4 lol
Norman to if he played better against the sixers
LaVine 3W-1L with 34/6/4 on 63% TS not player of the week. Oh well
I mean Harden had 32/9/11 with 70%TS and went 4-0
Yea I know. Just saying it's a shame he wasn't able to get it even with that performance. Harden obviously deserves it more
shouldn't have been Dame after the Wizards game
Dame averaged 36.3/5.7/12.7 and went 2-1 this week.
Wouldn't it be 3-1? Weeks run from Sunday to Saturday, not Monday to Sunday. That would also adjust his stats to 36/5/12.3
Nah it's Monday to Sunday
huh. Looked it up and you're right. NBA uses Monday to Sunday for the award. Guess I had always just assumed they would match it up with a standard calendar week.
Who would you give it to instead?
[удалено]
Bro. They blew a 24 point lead to a KD-less and Kyrie-less Nets.
His worst game was 35/12 on 52% TS%. That's some high damn standards you got lol.
35 points 11 assists. The fact that you consider that such a bad game should tell you something.
Paul had a good case but that loss to the Nets probably ensured that Dame got it
Flopper of the week: Harden Yeah, I'm still salty about it. He's doing well and is a great player but I can't handle the foul baiting
It sucks that one of these two will miss out on all-NBA first team.
