    Harden scored and assisted the Nets last 20 points in the last 4 minutes. That is as clutch as it gets. We saw him do this almost every game here

    it's crazy because you tell cp3 REALLY wanted that one. he hasn't been that aggressive to score in PHX. he scored like 17 in the 4th and James still came in late and still overtook them.

    all BK needs is one wide body big to go against embiid and I can't see anyone beating them. the skill level of their big 3 is insane. in a way it's even better than Curry, Thompson, KD because you can possibly make it hard on steph or klay with a switching defense since they catch and shoot so much. James and kyrie specialize in ISO but can also spot up. they always get matchup they want. that's why their offense is already on pace to be the best in history and they have barely played together. Harris, green, are great support and DJ is ok depending on matchups. they are fun to watch. I'm happy James is getting this opportunity I just it was here :(

    He was scoring because for some idiotic reason the Suns had green on him but once Bruce brown went on him Paul was helpless.Nash made the right adjustment and put Bruce Brown a damn good defender on him.

    Can't tell if joking.

    Game 1 28/11/9 55% fg
    Game 2 38/10/9 62% fg

    Against #1 defense and back when league wide numbers were 15-20% lower.

    Harden has shown he could always carry when missing talent. This sun game was him doing that sht 24/7 when he was with us. Man just never got enough help it is what it is. go win a ring so dem haters can suck it.

    I’m still not convinced all you can get for an MVP player that can carry any team with some scrubs to the playoffs is a broken Dipo on an expecting and couple of mediocre picks!! I’m just not accepting it!!!!

    Remember when the Heat fans were patting themselves on the back because they didn't want to give up Herro and Robinson for Harden?

    clowns holding onto to some nonexistent, imaginary ball movement and “heart” to try and fool themselves into thinking that these blowout Ls we now get on the regular aren’t just pathetic and depressing

    Rockets back to being irrelevant and missing the playoffs with no hope of contending, but that ball movement tho :rolleyes:

    Chris Paul is 35 years old and plays with bunch of kids that never made playoffs..... And the only time Harden ever had chance to win championship is when his team played like how Chris Paul wanted them to play. Put some respect on Point Gods name

    Let me correct you:
    The only time CP didnt advance while having competetive team is when he didnt play. And he didnt play Harden ball 1st season
