You are not totally wrong. The Chicago game unlocked his game, 2 games before Draymond got back. 4 straight games, man. I think the Dray, Curry, Wiseman p&r should be deadly. Wiseman already one of my faves without knowing where to be sometimes. I see Wiseman having a higher ceiling than Christian Wood in a few years. He is stronger and as mobile.
this is a good looking argument but man if the refs just called the game right and didnt giftwrapped game 1 to warriors its a whole different ballgame and an entirely different series pro steph anti-harden crew had some great arguments but man if no scott foster and adam silver then Harden is the goat and beating the dynasty ALONE 2 times in a row
I am pro Olajuwon in the dynasty discussion, there was only one small dynasty and the guy was a dream.
??? Cp3 got the ball plenty here. Cp3 only had a problem with it when he coulndt be Cp3 anymore. Dude is doing the same thing in Phonenix and OKC that he did here. Harden pushing for the Westbrook trade was bad(but we know there is more to the story there) but Cp3 is not an easy guy to play with. Westbrook lool......man, look at where Westbrook is right now, handling the ball, being inefficient and taking Ls. Im sorry but it not working out Cp3 and Westbrook(especially Westbrook) is not proof that Harden cant play with other great players. I mean....yea,not matter what offense you run though, when you are the number one option teams will key in on you in the playoffs. Mike maybe should have made adjustments that game but to be fair...idk what adjustments you could realistically make. We were facing the GOAT team without our second best player. Honestly this seems more like you had a problem with Mike than Harden who's only following the game plan.
Warriors without KD are still dangerous and pose a different kind of threat since the offense is now focused on Steph and Klay. This same team sweeped the Blazers next round and in the finals went 2-2 with Kawhi's Raptors (Klay wasn't there in the Raptor's 2 other wins).
Olajuwon is arguably top 10 GOAT. Why are you holding Curry to his standards? And Curry does have a terrible supporting cast. It's one of the worst supporting casts in the western conference. How is that not garbage? Can you list the WC teams that have worse supporting casts? Maybe that'll put things in perspective for you.
Lol @ the Harden nut huggers. Salty ass losers making excuses, taking cheap shots and refusing to give props. Anything to discredit Steph. All for what? In order to try and make James Harden seem like he’s better than Steph. You guys are a truly special bunch.
Before Klay Thompson was injured I thought they would be a very dangerous sleeper. Now I think they'll be an entertaining and competitive team, but 7th in the West is probably their ceiling.
The word 'better' is not nuanced enough. Harden can never shoot the way Steph can. Harden cannot move off ball the way Steph can, nobody can, maybe Klay a tad. Steph can never ISO or go to the rack like Harden, he isn't built like a tank. Steph would be better than Harden if he was as durable as Harden, and be more like Harden in volume shooting. These are things nobody can change. PS: Either player would require different/his own team settings and strategies.
I'm really not sure about that when it's been an issue with Harden for years now and especially after those ESPN inside articles with ex-club sources confirming how dysfunctional he can make a franchise. I agree that Mike was to blame as well, but him not putting Harden in his place was probably a requirement for keeping the job.
Literally no one outside of a select group of delusional Harden only fanbois on this forum could possibly think that.
wasn’t y’all just saying y’all felt sorry for Steph on realgm. Now he is better than harden because of 1 game lol
Like I said... Steph’s legacy is already set in stone. 3 x Champion. 2 X MVP. How about Harden wins 1 ring before his name is mentioned in the same breath as Curry. Harden is closer to Westbrook than he is to Steph. Curry didn’t even need to have a performance like last night. Glad he did though. Give you HOF’s a taste as to remind you that he’s better than Harden. Always has been. Always will be.
