    Just because you believe Harden is worst than Curry doesn’t mean he actually is. You can’t base your entire premise on a point that you haven’t objectively proved.

    The reason you don’t understand arguments against you is because your own argument is fallicious. Please provide sufficient evidence for your conclusion.

    He's been great but I for one dont think hes better than Harden, his scoring is nice and all but tbh he'll never have the kind of impact on the floor(offensively) that Harden does.

    And for all this talk about Kawhi being great, dude didnt shoot well from the field against the Warriors. Its a good thing he had those uhh whats it called "cheap fouls" to bail him out.

    Harden literally shoots a ton of step back 3s one or two midrange jumpers and a bunch of lay ups kawhi is pretty efficient also and yes he struggled game one but he didn’t shy away either down the stretch

    Kawhi has a GW in a game 7 on a shot I’m sure Jim would have choked on

    ever since the game 6 vs the spurs I just don’t believe in harden as the “guy”
    3 straight elimination games at home we have all lost going out at home is just bad

    He quit on the Spurs tho. Faked an injury, burned a whole season and then demanded a trade.

    So? Whats left lol, oh yea the mid range argument lol. Kawhi is very good at the mird range, good for him. Hes not a playmaker like Harden is and never will be. Harden didnt shy away in game 5 if that is what you are referring to. Game 6 he didnt do well but hey, it happens sometimes. Lets see how the rest of the series goes for Kawhi,.

    You mean a lucky bounce after being trash the whole game, yea I saw that lol.

    And Curry has played on team with multiple all stars since facing Harden as well. Harden got Cp and then dominated the league and would have beaten a better version of the Warriors had Cp not gone down. And btw Harden posted better stats than Curry in this series.

    Kawhi showed he wanted it he did every thing he could to get the job done in a game 7 so him shooting 39 shots dont even matter Atleast he gave a damn which is what I question with Jim. Who seems to let curry own him over again

    And when it came down to close the deal he watched curry score 33 2nd half points and turned it over 3 times in the 4th on positions we needed

    Well if you really watched the Rockets, you woudldnt question the heart of James. Kawhi bricked 39 shots before getting a lucky one congratz. Harden played great at the end of game 5. Curry has a better team. He has KD carry his sorry butt for 4.75 games and then played Harden fairly even the last two. If KD is gone at the beginning we wipe them.

    Okay fine he didnt well in that game 6, but how bout games 1-5, were those important. Harden posting better stats than Curry that series doesnt do it for you?

    I have never said that. But are you saying Curry is?

    His playmaking has improved from what I’ve seen and getting to the line is but it’s not like he needs do that when he has more of a diverse way of scoring he has a mid range game and can post up and score will still being a pretty good 3 point shooter and elite defender he can get 30 and hold you below 20 most of the time
