The “give me Harden over FVV” takes are embarrassing

    When James got going for 43 and 7 vs the Wizards, I admit I had a nostalgic feeling.


    The Rockets need to win with our core. I don't want him back in Houston.

    Harden is a smart player, he would have done wonders with this squad compared to FVV.
    Look how he adjusts his role post Houston and what he’s doing with the Clippers.

    Imagine Harden with Tari and Amen cuts, sengun PnR, Jabari in the corner, and Harden woulda elevated Green a lot more..

    Imagine our team with Giannis, Jokic, Luka, Tatum and SGA. Pretty sure these guys would elevate everyone even more.

    If you wanna dream nonsensical stuff why stop at 2024 Harden? Dream about better players.

    The difference is Harden was an option.

    We would have been a far better offensive team but then we would have to get better defensively.

    I'd rather have it this way around where the foundation is defense.

    I just don’t think Harden and Udoka would be compatible, but maybe I’m wrong. Harden needs to have the team built around his game. Udoka needs to be frmly in control and to have everyone buy into the defense-first team concept. It’s easy to see Harden’s talents making everyone better, but we might not be seeing the same overall success we are now.

    Oddly the Clippers are 6th in defense and 22nd in offense this season. The opposite of what you would expect from a team led by an old James Harden.

    How is this trash calculated? In what world is shai even close to jokic, let alone ahead of him? Cause it certainly isn’t this one. Just idiotic

    Funny a lot of so called stats have him near the top in limited 20 games.....it does not mean much because you stil have 62 games to play but it is a start.....

    Also Joker was absent for 2-3 games for the birth of his kid and then he had a rough stretch at the beginning.

    Also yeah, Dub is much better than 2nd option Jamal and they are a terrific/terroristic duo.

    Shai has a lot of potential on Defense, as he starts blocking shots......and is quicker than Jokic.

    Vision also getting better.

    He did not have a rough stretch. He is MILES better than sga. If the stat has sga above him, it’s a trash stat and should be ignored, period.

    Great, miles better but just pedestrian season record I guess.
    ;)

    People overlook SGA because he does not look overly athletic, does not dunk that much, does not explode to the basket...

    Sounds like Jokic?

    Master of deceleration and learned from CP3......picking up and slowing down pace.

    Master of the middy committee and also one of the most clutch players...if you even care to watch Thunder games.

    Can guard from 1-3 sometimes can be in dunker's spot.....

    Oh, why is the great Joker leading the Nuggets to a record that is 2.5 games behind the Rockets? I thought they were championship contenders?

    When was the last time the Nuggets had a Top 3 Defense with Joker....right ....not every year or not very often.

    Isn't he supposed to be great at Defense and Rim protection too?

    For someone who thinks highly of himself, you have a narrow minded view.

    As good as Joker is, he has major flaw, and that is his speed and no athleticism.......

    And he is getting older.

    How does someone who is miles better than everyone not dominate like Shaq or Hakeem?

    Just answer that question.

    He isn't dominating on Defense......Defense is the very essence of making the Rockets without a clear superstar a juggernaut.

    This era doesn't even have the Jordans, the Kobes, the McGradys even........so yeah, we have to deal with someone named SGA.

    You don't even have great offensive athletes at the Forward/Wing spots.

    So nope, Jokic game impresses me but he wouldn't last against the Dream or Shaq, he would be made into a jumpshooter and a passer and Jamal Murray isn't going to win anything.

    Lol ....there is not much to say......what is stupidity?

    I already said he was the best player but this era isn't really great .....that is my opinion.

    And he isn't that much above everyone as you said ....just watch the Nuggets regular season record.......

    What is stupid about one's subjective opinion?

    Do you think it’s stupid to say that jalen green is better than michael jordan? Or is that just a subjective opinion so it’s all good
