    I'll say it after next season too when he's on a different team. He doesn't qualify for max imo

    In this series, Paul George played only 1 bad game. In the first 5, he averaged 28.6 points, shooting 45.2% from the field, 41.3% from 3p%. He is doing all the dirty works and doesn't get consistent touches. He is the reason why OKC extended this series to 6 games, without his 8 3Ps in the first game, OKC would have been swept.

    Now after one bad game of PG, everybody forgets how good he was for the first 5. Everybody forgets Russ's 3 horrible games in this series after he jacked up 82 shots in the last two games and "he has no help".

    Let's see what PG can do in LA next year, if LA makes the playoffs and OKC doesn't, it will be a joke.

    Harden gets that call about 50% of the time, even then he would only get two shots.

    they literally made a rule named after Harden to not call fouls on him. So no Harden would not get the call

    He's a career 20 and 6 guy (excluding his rookie season). Perfect as a 2nd or 3rd fiddle. He's worth 18M on a bad squad, and 12M on a good squad.

    Idk maybe I'm stupid and blind hate is screwing with my head. lol

    Stephen Jackson is full of it. He just protecting Russell because he likes him. He has stated that a couple of times since last year. Of course Harden wouldn’t have gotten that call. One because Harden does get foul most of the time and he still not getting some calls. Another because Harden is crafty enough to know when to do it. He gets his defender to get his hand out and reach. He does his move just before this so that he can get continuation. Harden barely bumps fake or jump into people that do jump to block him. Another is if he did he would have been smart enough to jump toward and get plenty of contact.

    Paul George barely got touch. Golbert went to the side and Paul jump sideways too.

    But oh Harden get those calls and I forget what other bs they say he gets away with.

    PG13/Carmelo added 1 more regular season win and 1 playoff win from OKC record of last year, CP3 added 10 wins to the Rockets, ... rough calculation..~ PG should make 10% of CP3 salary...

    this hate is contagious lol

    Well cap room is different now. He is a perennial all star, he can be the best player for a playoffs team, and a second fiddle for a championship team.

    There aren't many players better than him in this league, maybe 15-20. This assures him to get a max contract worth 30+M per year.

    He knows the rules so well that they change the rules because of how well he knows them

    Harden playing 5-D chess

    I'll be thrilled if Rockets can dump Ryno and EG and give their 30+M to PG, we ain't no shitty team.

    The fact is, as a Rocket, Harden never had a teammate who can average more than 25 points in a playoff series, even CP3 doesn't have that kind of scoring power.

    Not as a second fiddle though.

    George averaged 28 as no.1 option last year.
