    I feel the need to keep up with the recent theme of using small sample sizes.

    Side note. PJ Tucker >>>>>> Klay Thompson? Discuss.

    Absolutely

    The defense we saw tonight was Hakeem like.

    Shoe in for MVP and we will win a ring.

    Nights like tonight are what frustrates people about Harden. If he brought this effort on a nightly basis, NO one would question his superstar status and we wouldn't keep seeing the Paul George vs James Harden discussion.

    Well, I'm not sure this is comparable right now, because Indiana haven't played GS this year. But if Klay Thompson can get more than 5 points on 10 shots against George, I'm sure that will be proof positive that Harden D > George D.

    I think Harden is the greatest player of all time, greatest defender of all time, greatest scorer of all time, greatest beard of all time, and a future 30x MVP winner.

    That's kinda modest though.

    Hakeem watches Harden's defense in awe now and wishes he could have been that good on the defensive end when he was playing.

    If Kobe could, I am sure Harden can too.

    Serious question. How was Hardens D when playing for the Thunder?
