Because I should put on Rockets blinders, ignore reality, make conspiracy theories to justify defeats, pretend that moral victories and regular season success is more important than rings?
It's not about who, it's about where. If you swapped the cities of the Rockets and the Warriors and changed nothing else, Harden would have at least three MVPs and be the most fawned over player in the league.
53 wins is not a good stat line. 67 wins with best bench will win it next year, easy. Trade Paul for bench.
He had durant out. He had 2 games he should have won, and he didn't. Yeah its a team game, but he had as good a chance as anyone. I think if we beat the warriors we win the ring.
If sign and trade Ariza and trade knight 2picks for a good player, harden would have won 67 games. Curry won 140 games in 2 seasons before Durant came.
If Harden's name was Steph then we would refer to the two Stephs in different ways such as Harden being Big Steph and Curry being Baby Steph. The Beard and Baby Beard. Cool Steph is obviously Harden with Cocky Steph being Curry. Gift ideas for Big Steph would be luxury high priced items. Baby Steph would be easy to shop for. Just get him a chew toy.
