    Stop this nonsense please. We need all our core guys to be 100% healthy to be successful in the Playoffs

    Yes, just like the Rockets were better without CP3 in the last win at the Oracle Arena.

    Just imagine how incredible we would be if we were without BOTH of them.

    Sometimes the whole is better without key parts.

    No.

    But we do need an identity or identities when both of them play. I want Harden to be the finisher and CP be the ball handeler when both of them are on.

    BSPN narrative: "this is why no one likes Harden - they can win without him."

    People that are triggered obviously don’t get the hidden message. How strange

    Harden needs to play in the offense, he can’t do this hero ball anymore

    this hot take is just as bad as the "Cp3 is 100% worth his contract" hot takes after playing great for one game in an entire season.

    this post is probably worse. people like you are the ones who secretly root for him to not play well since you're always whining about the trash harden apparently plays with. so of course you dont get it

    And he's objectively wrong too, this is not the only good game Cp has had this season.

    Yes, team oriented, it was not about touches, it was about WHERE those touches were, many were catch and shoot instead of catch and hand it back to Harden.

    Paul was masterful and set up so may opportunities.....this was a more balanced game overall - you can't look at touches and get any sort of opinion as all touches are not equal.

    Actually Paul specializes in catch and shoot and MAKE passes

    Are you reading James? Throw more of those!

    Would you trade Harden for Anthony Davis?
