    He just destroyed Ginobody and the Spurs to drag OKC into the Finals, of course the Heat are going to game-plan against him vs cupcake and the turtle.

    and, icymi, the Spurs won 10 games in a row in those playoffs, until Brooks finally realized Harden was the only person who he could rely upon to stop them ... then they ran off 4 games in a row.

    He's trying to plant brownie points with Harden so that Harden will ask to bring Bosh in.

    Nice try, bhole.

    I’m not going to say harden was better than KD then or even now but he was then and is now the better player vs russ.

    The major difference between KD and harden is that harden can start offense and get everyone going as well as himself.

    KD can’t.

    He might be the better talent because of his shooting and ball handling at his height which allows him to be unguardable but I don’t think KD can just be given the ball and produce historic team offense play after play like harden.

    Harden is just so important that’s why I don’t understand why him and Lebron arnt universally seen as the two best Players in the game.

    Nobody can do the things they can from a scorings and playmaking standpoints.

    Their elite at both top 3 at both things. Nobody is even close to their impact on offense.

    Maybe BOSH wants Morey to hook it up with the Iphone X.

    same with game 6 against the Spurs, Harden didn't choke, they just wouldn't allowed him to beat them and would rather let Ryno gets his things done

    CB still owes us for the iPads. I'd give him a beeper.

    this. teams spend the whole regular season watching video and experimenting how to stop harden and its easier in the playoffs because he is the only supertstar and the roleplayers don't step up

    ask pops

    It's all about media coverage. Big networks tell everyone every day that Lebron and Curry at the GOAT, and so the minions spread the word.

    The biggest reason we got CP3. Praying they both stay healthy throughout the playoffs.

    This has pretty much been confirmed already right?

    That spurs series was one of the reasons I loved harden. Lebron and company completely focused in on harden and broke the okc Thunder.

    Besides being confirmed I thought it was also obvious?

    Kevin Durant reminds me more of Bob McAdoo a sharpshooter who shoots, he can't create offense for others, passing court vision is limited he has never improved since he came into the league. Scott Brooks never taught him anything about court vision or passing.

    Harden has a crazy 2012 playoffs. Just not the finals. He was money against Dallas and San Antonio. Which is why I was shocked when they traded him to us. Presti chose ibaka and perk over him. Lol

    Yeah I really hope they are prepared to see traps this coming postseason. Harden is way too deadly as an initiator.

    Countering the coming schemes in containing Harden, not this pick and roll spam offense in the RS, will define how good D'Antoni is, IMO.

    Harden is a better defender than Westbrook.
