    I know the wound hasn’t healed yet, but #24 not doing it on offense as good or better than #13, no matter which era.

    Ive never seen any player that can get to the rim at will like James vs any defense - that includes Michael Jordan.

    yeah i said it.

    James Harden is suddenly not in good shape yo lol. How did he go from skinny to here.

    Good thing we play every other night, I think he'll be primed for second round. Maybe he lifted a lot anticipating guarding a lot of C's and PF's.

    One thing people miss is that Harden, while being the best SG in the NBA today, is also the best PG in the NBA today...playmaking PG that is. I guess Curry is what he is...

    but James does it all on offense. He can score on any area of the team AND run the team and be its PG. That's not something Jordan and Kobe did and they certainly weren't the shooters Harden is.

    Jordan though is one of the best perimeter defenders ever. Kobe?

    Kobe was an average defender, everyone knew his defense was overrated...and on the flip side Harden's defense is underrated.

    We must win the third quarter. Mentally it is a big hurdle we need to jump

    I don't feel comfortable with Charles Barkley praising James Harden.
