    Win a championship and we talk later.

    Best guard rotation without hardware that is hard to accept.

    Also soon to be 34 year old Paul is not his best version, y'all can sell it to everyone else but me.

    remember just 3 months ago CP3 was MVP of the playoffs and wc finals, better than steph, harden, lebron and durant...
    he lost a lot of athleticism but he can still play and beat and even humiliate(remember ankle breakers) the best of them (excluding scott foster obviously)

    Yup, he is the best.

    Anyhow, I think we live in the golden age of guards (no pun intented). I think as we go along some guard combo in the near future will pop up that will rival this.

    Also the problem of KD, Steph and Klay is that they only know how to shoot/score but nobody is as tenacious as Chris.

    KD is a talented snake and insecure bish.

    I am saying those two groups are my favorite CP3, EGO, and Harden vs Kobe, Eddie, and Van Exel. But to answer your question, even though I am a Harden fan, Kobe is better than Harden and CP3 is better than Van Exel.

    Hey Patrick. You are my second favorite Rocket of all time right behind Gerald Green.

    Cheating refs and we are low key not a good shooting team.

    Harden has the more efficient/better stats in regular season.

    Kobe had the hardware and the dominating big men.

    wouldn't have mattered if they called a fair game though.

    We were a lock -- before the trade -- with JH, CP3, EGo and Melton.

    Kobe was 19yrs old scoring 15ppg off the bench the last year Van Exel was on the team. Harden as MVP is better with zero doubt.

    The traditional, consensus best guard team was Isiah Thomas, Dumars (Finals MVP) and Microwave. Two rings.

    2007 Parker, Ginobody and Finley usually go unmentioned, for some reason. I mean, Finley was why Ginobody went to the bench that year.

    he was solid before he got hurt. he certainly is more than capable as someone off the bench as a backup. instantly better at pg than anyone else they were going to try and throw out there before this trade

    shooting 40% from 3 as a big might have something to do with it

    I'm not counting Knight right now, as @kevC mentioned, Knight has been a net negative on the floor for the majority of his career. He has to prove he can be a positive, it's not a given.


    Not to worry though, Rocket fans. The Harden, Paul and Gordon trio by its self if a historically elite backcourt rotation.

    And that’s why he’s still on the team?
    Look Brandon Knight was just a filler.
    If we get any positive out of him great. If not that’s great too.

    you ask why he got paid. that was answered. not that it had anything to do with knight. knight is a far better player when healthy then chriss. not sure what this filler view came from

    Hang-On Hang-On Hang-On Hang-On!! Are you trying to tell me that Chris Paul, James Harden, Eric Gordon and Brandon Knight are better than Steve Francis, Cuttino Mobley, Moochie Norris and Tierre Brown???? Have you lost your mind??!!!

    I can't deal with Clutchfans anymore. It's gotten too crazy up in here!!
