    True, Kawhi has had a history of injuries, but his performance in the clutch and do-or-die is more consistent than Harden. If Harden can remain relevant (and I've said multiple times that we need to diversify our offense) in like situations, then I'm in Harden's camp. But I think quality coaching combined with DM can get a roster that can overcome the regular season injury issue. What hasn't worked is continuing with an offense built entirely off the 3-or-layup strategy when our players need to, but cannot, hit them. Kawhi showcases the mental fortitude to deliver in those situations with that kind of strategy.

    After a while you realize it's either a schtick or a mental illness. The internet is a great magnet for both.

    you're talking to someone who thinks harden is the only player on this earth that can take a team to the playoffs. if you were looking for realistic objectivity you won't get it there

    What was the rockets win loss record in the reg seaaon when harden wasnt playing?

    Can they go 17 and 5 if harden missed 22 games?

    Almost 3.5 yrs old. Tbh not that bad of a take. Yeah some of these guys are garbage now, but id still pick half of that list today.

    Can we bump the "so awesome we jus landed melo, championship incoming" threads, or is that too old now?

    I know you guys would have predicted 1 if not 2 rings by now.

    For me there are only two. Donovan Mitchell and Kawhi. I wouldn’t trade him for anyone else at this point in time.
