    did you watch OKC's road to the Finals?

    so that NY game convinced you that PG is on Lebron's level?

    He's arguably a top 3 player this year, http://espn.go.com/new-york/nba/sto...nicks-beat-miami-heat-indiana-pacers-playoffs

    He's a top MVP candidate fam. Even LeBron gave him the, Dam kid, You're a straight baller speech last year by calling him great.

    I love me some Harden, But the insecurities of some of yall are crazy.
    It's like we have to put down George in order to feel good about Harden. Like I said, Both are legit stars.. Happy to have James, He has added so much to this franchise after being cursed by Injuries and bad luck. But this PG kid is a special type talent.. He's doing an excellent job leading his team to.

    Stephenson was on Melo most of the game, they put George on JR Smith when he came in.

    Melo is a brute, lol.

    Frank Vogel said George he guarded for Melo for 48 Minutes. Stephen A Smith brought it up on first take. 48 mins, Not the 1-2 minutes Lance guarded him.

    He doesn't of course.

    My biggest problem with obvious trollololopery like this d-kwad is that it shows so very little creativity and is just boring.

    There's an art to being good at it - a silly back story, a tall tale that slowly grows into an insurmountable heap of steaming BS. Most of it is the result of a modicum of subtlety and a touch of wit.

    This kind of lamebrained scrawling isn't really that it's not much different than typing "harden suxxxx! Houston we have a problem!!!!" and running off.

    Boring and...stupid. Ignore this jackass for now. He'll get tired and give up before he comes back again.

    love the rox, support Harden 100%.

    Paul George is all time great level potential compared to Harden who is missing something (defense namely) to be in that same category, today.

    Thank you, the fact that we are arguing that Harden is even close to Paul when comparing D is foolish. I'm a Rockets fan to the 9th power and love what Harden brings on the offensive end, however, comparing him to Paul on the defensive end is a WOT (Waste of Time)...

    The argument (to the extent there is one - really there's only one side to this) is that people should stop spouting lies and watch the games closely- or else you start sounding like DaDakota.

    I'd rather read folks like aelliot who post on facts rather than the facts they wish existed.

    Honestly if you watch Indiana play defense, no one stands out except Hibbert. Melo beats his man and he usually did, but then you watch such crisp smooth rotations, etc. Basically you're watching a team who knows where to go at all times. Their failures might happen 1 in 10 plays, if you watch us, you might see that on half the plays regardless of the personnel out there.

    It's pretty staggering to watch Paul George move around like a gazelle and score with confidence carrying the Pacers offense compared to Harden these days who look like he can hardly create his own shot, especially against decent defenses. Like wtf happened?

    as of right now, George hands down. Until the day comes when Harden becomes a lockdown defender he will be top 3 in league

    lol Harden is starting to become a stathoar.... he plays off his man, so he can be in position to grab rebounds, and iniate a fastbreak himself

    Yeah he's ball-watching all the ******* time for a possible opportunity to get easy scores on the other side..compare that to George who bites down and plays hard D for his team..it's frustrating. Harden isn't even all that impressive offensively..most of his good stats come against bad teams. He chucks up 3s like I do when I play NBA2K..just ugly play. His playmaking is overrated cause he turns it over nearly as much as he gets assists. Those turnovers are killer because they almost always lead to fastbreak lay ups on the other end.

    And when he loses the ball, he just stands there watching and does not hustle back on D. His offense is limited to chucking up 3's. He just flaps his hands on D. He lets his guy blow by him every time. Rarely contests 3 point shots.....
