dude the nba is rigged to hell, a lot of these awards that kawhi has won is voted on by the bias media, if harden was anybody except james friggin harden and posted the same numbers leading his team his team teams to 55 and 56 wins in 2015 and 2017 he would have 2 MVPS, and 2 gold medals and that would shatter anything kawhi has ever won its the bias media who votes on these awards, keep in mind the media hates harden, right after we beat okc, rachel nichols and skip bayless were claiming eric gordon and lou williams were all-stars. after we blew out the spurs in game 1, ESPNS zach lowe wrote a 5 page article going in detail how the spurs could come back and beat us. THEIR IS AN AGENDA AGAINIST THE ROCKETS AND ESPECIALLY HARDEN, and i dont know if it will ever change. Harden was top 15 in defensive win shares this year
way better. first, he's a ****in robot-human thing like a cyborg, so that makes him better than god. he's so cold blooded he doesnt know how to laugh his braids will probably stab you kawhi for mvp! 10 steps per dribble!
Harden is not a better shooter. He's really regressed his shooting touch over the past couple of seasons. He was a far more deadly shooter when he first came to the Rockets.
Ill say yes because Harden can have very bad games with shooting and turnovers, As well late game decisions and jack up 3s or try force a foul. Harden just disappear sometimes during games. That said Harden is awesome but Leonard is a better player and don't have to even mention the Defense lol
Do people feel the Spurs, without Leonard and without Parker, are better than the Rockets without Harden? If not, what does it mean if the Spurs win this series after it being tied 1-1 with the Rockets having HCA?
Harden vs. Leonard in a pickup game, who would win? If I have something to say positive I would say it, so I'm not going to say.
Yes? Significantly so. Gasol, Aldridge, patty mills are all guys who are better than what we have. Then their reserves are great fits as well. I think kawhi is better at everything but being a playmaker than harden. Hardens lost shot hurts him significantly. Kawhi turned into an assassin from three and pull up jumpers and harden has turned into a mediocre shooter.
No Leonard isn't better than Harden. Who do the Rockets have remotely as good as Aldridge to be a second option?
The Spurs bigs have an advantage in scoring on post up moves but the Rockets' big men have their own advantages in athleticism. I think the Rockets' big men suits Harden's pick and roll game more than Aldridge and Gasol.
Its one on one half court just go with the taller person unless one person is clearly better. Otherwise it just becomes a post up contest. With the bigger person backing down the smaller person.
Aldridge has sucked this year. Gasol is old and washed up. Did people already forget the 30 point beat down. If we win today the narrative changes back.
