According to sabermetrics James Harden was tied for 2nd as the most valuable player in the NBA

You're like permanently stuck in the 90's. Do you even own a cell phone or get p***y?

 

Brother, your standards are very high.

 

James Harden didn't win the MVP.

There's no trophy for 2nd place for saber metrics

 

If everyone wants to be honest and talk about how you need to play defense to get MVP then you probably agree Steph shouldnt have received either one of his MVPs. You might as well just have Lebron has the 10 time reigning MVP...

 

Every Rockets fan knows that Harden is critical to our success and our failure.

don't need any player only fan to throw useless stats to show us that.

when players win MVP that usually translates to team success.

if we barely made the 8th seed, that means we don't have the MVP on our team.

 

Klay Thompson.... I'm in tears hahaha

 

BPM is not a good measure of defense

 

They sure as hell are....and I like Harden, but I think he dogs it too much at times and he can be so much better.

DD

 

Mentions Anthony Davis when talking about defence

 

I was intrigued.

I was uncertain, but still intrigued.

OK, still intrigued.

Man, what a major letdown. I'm offended that I even had to read that.

 

I like Harden too, he's durable, he's not going to breakdown like previous highly paid stars on our team.

I like my superstars to at least play 70- 80 games a year

look at LeBron

 

How can you not like the Klay? He's a douche for sure, but the guy scores in bunches and is a lock down defender. What more could you want?

 

Earl Campbell with a basketball.


He takes more punishment than everybody except possibly LeBron too. And I suspect from his ftr he takes more punishment than even LeBron does. I cringe every time he hits the floor but so far he's always got up and shook it off. No doubt one of the toughest guys to ever play this game.

 

Bro, cut out that logo man. Ew.

 

just curious, if klay played with the rockets last year instead of harden, what would our w-l record have been?

 

but you have to realize right now, james harden is probably the only NBA attainable player and wants to play for and loyal rockets who is the closest you can get to a hakeem or lebron level impact

also, we already know you'll have everyone of the rockets championship teams gang rape you so you don't have to metion them everytime

 

thats effing ridiculous. any sabermetric that ranks harden ahead of Lebron James is faulty and suspect. effing ridiculous

 

You ask this question in almost every thread concern Harden. Dude again nobody on this planet knows the answer to this.

 

Most metrics put steph ahead of lebron.

Let's throw those out also

 

Like Curry, Harden is just THAT good offensively. Defense is of course important, but they are just that good on the otherside.
