I know it's controversial but it has to be said. Chris Paul is better than James Harden

@roe4christ @Orange

 

keep twisting my word, why bother replying to me if you are not going to read what I posted.

I said his game is regressing in terms of variety, he shoots (and misses) too many threes and does not attack the rim enough. what does it have to do with his age

 

Pretty much this

 

I guess we will see this year

 

its sad what espn and most of the media has become.

 

I took care of Orange on these Houston streets

As for roe4

Prolly still checking on his Indonesian sauces why they let him down

 

How much do u want to bet the OP is a trolling lin fan trying to sew the winds of division here?

 

Paul has a complete skillset with very little weaknesses besides size. Harden has more clear holes in his game.

But Hardens penetration and ability to drive to the rim will still be the most important thing about this offense.

I loved Harden the quasi-PG in '17, but the Rockets won't win it all if he plays that style. '15 step back J killer scorer Harden actually had a chance to lead us all the way. His games 2/4 against the Warriors in that years series was killer. People poke fun at his "not pretty" fouls drawing 3orFT based offensive style, but '15 Harden was killing it with the mid range game at times. His mid-range scoring performances in those 2 games against the Warriors in '15 were gorgeous.

Harden needs to adapt like Dirk did. He needs to develop a more diverse and less predictable offensive game than the pure drive/kick player he's turned into.

He needs to get the step daddy going again. Paul is the perfect guy to get Harden in the ideal spots to score.

Paul might be better as an overall 2-way player. But the only way this team wins it all is if Harden goes nuts as a scorer in a playoff series, and hopefully Paul helps set him up for it.

 

hey if you're not a teeny bopper and older than 18 I'll let you suck my dick

 

This is how I watch the rockets play now

 

I am taking the media out of this and follow OP's request to determine who is simply better.

Harden is the better individual guy and CP3 is more important to the team's O and D, making other players better and getting them going.

 

They both have special strengths and talent. If James Harden is an MVP caliber player and CP3 is that compareable, then we got ourselves the scariest back court. Now if we can get that 3rd star we'll be set!

 

Harden has a difficult challenge this year, as the rules were specifically changed to stop him. That never happened to Chris Paul. Harden will literally have to evolve his game to remain elite.

 

Quit this revisionist history. Bring Lin to any thread not related to him is being divisive. You are indirectly labeling everyone who has ever criticized Harden's defense as LOFs. We should be over that already.

 

Dude, you're wasting your time with that fool...

He is one of the most delusional posters I've ever encountered - and proclaims himself to have always been right regardless of what proof you supply to the contrary...
Make a point that proves him wrong and he warps what you said into something else entirely...
Provide proof he's wrong and he tries to push the narrative to different points and change the topic...
Try to keep him on point and reiterate the proof he is wrong and he resorts to personal attacks and accuses you of having a 'low bball iq...'

Honestly I cant tell if he's a delusional homer or a major troll... either way, don't waste your time...

He's the true essence of a delusional fanboy who just regurgitates his fanboy stats regardless of topic...

 

Won't be saying that when CP3 demands the ultra-max next year.

 

I am amazed by CP3 as well. I never really paid much attention to his pg skills until now. As I stated in a post somewhere else, dude is poetry in motion as a pg brining the ball down the court. I am looking forward to seeing him play this season.

 

Cp3 is not better than The Beard. Defense. Yes.

Cp3 has to step up vs Curry. He's owned him.

 

I can see Curry shooting over CP3, but did Curry defend CP3?

 

Idk man did you watch the game?
