    The bro @DonKnock should do a James Harden edition of "Line em up" where he posts some of the most bizarre Harden trade proposals & some hardcore hateful posts.

    Curry, nor Nash, nor, Nowitzki played defense and each have won mvps

    lets see Curry without a stacked team before we crown his ass, replace kemba walker with stephen curry and do the hornets win 67 games... NO

    Harden, LeBron are the only true franchise talents in the league

    That Westbrook contract is gonna look uglier and uglier in the future, they have arguably more talent than us with cp3 out. But who has more wins.

    Currently on the ESPN website, Harden's huge game is deemed the 9th most important story. 16th, if you count the headlines in the sidebar that show up at the top without having to scroll to see them. It's just under an article about which teams should trade for Jalil Okafor.

    fake news. sad.

    same deflections per game as Westbrook and Rondo more than Lebron, Anthony Davis, Durant
    same loose balls recorvered per game as Lebron, Anthony Davis, Draymond Green more than Durant and Klay
    same charges drawn as Lebron, Anthony Davis more than Steph Curry, Butler, George double that of Durant, Kawhi, Westbrook, Klay
    more 2pt shots contested than Lebron, Kawhi, Curry, George, Westbrook, Butler
    more 3pt shots contested than Lebron, Durant, Kawhi, Curry, Westbrook
    more overall shots contested than Lebron, Kawhi, Curry, Westbrook, Butler
    same defensive reb % as Lebron slight lower than Durant better than Kawhi, George, Butler, Klay, Curry
    and lastly, similar defensive rating as Lebron, Avery Bradley, Ariza, slight lower than George

    I agree with all that, but the Westbrook contract part.


    With that said, it doesn't explain why hardens defense is miserable and we should let that slide.

    He's been sucking big dick out there on defense.

    What does this have to do with Harden and his **** defense?

    James' defense is not any more miserable than Lebron's

    if you want an elite defensive player then be a Tony Allen fan then

    It has no relevance. Almost as shitty as your attempt...but LeBron doesn't play defense.

    Okay, again, point here is James Harden. Not Steph, not Dirk, not LeBron. James Harden. And as great as he is offensively, he's pathetic and punch line when it comes to defense.

    It's like talking to 4 year olds sometime. Pick some random **** not relative and that's your argument.

    Funny right on que, he uses Bron.

    Right now, Brons playing trash defense but we all know he's not known for that. He also has had some amazing defensive seasons.

    But again, it's not about Bron. It's about James Harden.

    And if you want to use an example, use Kawhi not Tony. FFS, it's not like you're helpless.

    if the rockets had Kawhi last year who rested almost 10 games how many games would they have won?

    and how many games would a kawhi led rockets win against the MVP led OKC?

    I'm talking strictly defensive effort. Again, keep apples to apples here. ***** flying over your head.

    Nothing but defensive effort. Throe Butler in there, too. And before you spew garbage, factor in Jimmy takes the other teams best swingman. James takes the worst. The only player I'd take over Harden is Durant, if we're going that route.

    Again point is DEFENSIVE EFFORT.

    How do you come up with this?

    Gotta be dense af.

    No, I'm saying the only thing we have a legit gripe about James on is his shitty defensive effort. That's what I'm saying. Don't come in here and tell me oh well LeBrons been blowing monster **** on D. And oh Steph sucks D and on D, too. I'm talking about James Harden and his lack of defensive effort. None of those other variables are mutually exclusive. We need better defensive awareness, attention to detail, and effort from him. Period.

    ****, I'm not gonna repeat myself on what I'm arguing if you don't get it by now. Take your ball and go home, you got a gap between the ears.
