After watching Wade in the playoffs I can definitely say Harden is better than him, if Kobe can't come back to playing how he was before his injury Harden is the best 2 guard hands down.
Ill have what youre having. I wish Harden was the best but lets be honest, he isnt. Example, we are down by 3 with under a minute left. Which of the 3 in order would you want to have the ball and lead you in the final minute? I know for me every time id take Kobe, Wade, and lastly Harden. Id rather Kobe and Wade atleast try to win it and get a shot up than have Harden get a turnover or throw up a terrible shot. Until he fixes that crap and that hero ball that I see many people on here say. He will be 3rd best SG on my list.
Wow, bitter responses. It's quite amazing that on a Rockets board people would consider DWade(old and injury prone) and Kobe(old and coming off major surgery) to be better than Harden. Or are some posters just bitter Lakers fans who are trolling here?
Even if he comes back to the way he was playing (which is unlikely) he's still not better than Harden. That Kobe barely led Dwight, Gasol and Nash to the playoffs over the Rockets. And as bad as Harden is on defense, Kobe's lack of effort on that end makes him arguably even worse.
While I agree we have the best SG and C, that fact does carry slightly less weight in that both of those positions are pretty depleted right now in the NBA. Right now, PG, SF, and PF are the most stacked positions in the NBA with many superstars at those positions. Dwight Howard is arguably the only superstar-level center and of the three superstar SG's two are declining thirty-somethings suffering through injury problems. All of that said, we're still in a really good position right now.
Lol wow Parsons is the most underrated and underpaid player in the NBA IMO yet somehow he's overrated on Clutchfans. Let's wait and see how he does for at least one more year before we put him ahead of Granger, who al though injured last year, was a 20+ ppg scorer with good defense, or even Gay. But seriously I rmr someone saying he should be getting max money. Not sure if that was you or not. I do think Parsons is top 10-12 SF tho
Yeah, no one can really argue with this thread. What about "we have the best 2 players in the NBA now" or "we have the best PG/SG combination"? That will spark a livelier debate.
