    Really are we now saying cp3 isn't a good fit because he overlaps?

    Also Draymond is a terrible shooter. So you get one thing but lose another

    No one said bad fit. The article just detailed how perfectly their trio fit together. In that Curry is the weak defender, but the other two are great. Klay isn’t a strong creator, but the other 2 are. Green can’t shoot, but the other two are the best ever. Then they really highlighted the playmaking big release valve, which Draymond might be the current best in the league.

    Lets find out how many of these stars seize the moment against the Warriors.

    To me the only reason Harden isn't in the Lebron KD league yet is because Harden isn't as athletic or physically gifted (I don't put curry in the tier of KD, LeBron and Kawhi). He is strong guard which he utilises well during regular seasons to fend off bumps and create fouls, but the same calls are not being made in the playoff and so he loses his only advantage to his game.

    Pffft I rather harden be the way he is than mentally weak Durant who had to joined the team who fked his ass in playoffs.

    Start this stupid thread trashing harden when someone other than lebron James beat the warriors. Cause no star other than harden came close.

    I recall he wasn't a totally good fit on paper before the trade happened, he made it work for sure.

    He is just old.

    He is in their league but KD is a lot taller and Lebron is even stronger and a force of nature.

    Giannis is being shutdown......

    Harden shoots lots of threes, ofcourse his FG won't be high like Giannis who does mostly layups

    Durant is taller and has an easier time getting his shot off over players

    The way Kawhi came out in the 4th quarter last night, aggressive from the beginning to the end, is something that I thought we'd see Harden do this year in the playoffs. He is definitely capable of it, hopefully he realizes that he will need to do this to take teams out in the 4th quarter.

    If you think Harden is inefficient you have a poor understanding of efficiency.

    He’s 24. Harden is in his peak right now while Giannis has a few years to improve

    Then wait until he improves before crowning him.
