James Harden’s Electric Home Debut: 11 Surprising Moments That Could Change the Cavaliers’ Season Forever

Finding the balance between Kenny Atkinson’s movement offense and Harden’s stagnant, isolation system is a work in progress. Atkinson has repeatedly insisted that he’s going to fit the attack around what Harden does best, but many of the Cavaliers are best used in a motion-based offense. Sam Merrill is one of those players.

Harden assisted on six of Merrill’s 11 field goals. Some of those were simply from Harden drawing two to the ball and hitting the wide-open Merrill. Others were from incorporating some movement offense around a stagnant Harden. The latter is what’s interesting.

The Cavs got clean looks for a moving Merrill twice with Harden posted up on the elbow. The first was for a three when Merrill came around an Allen screen. The second was from using a screen to dive back inside for a layup.
