    Harden in a nutshell. Harden + Curry's talented teammates would not work simply because of Harden's ball dominant style.

    I have a feeling that this is a jinx thread. That, or we can blame Lillard for motivating Curry.

    Nah, just a bunch of guys who worshipped Harden too much and thought Steph is his nemesis which could not be further from the truth.

    Both are respectable players, Steph is more unselfish and had the luck to win it all a couple of times.

    Stephen got off to a rocky start but now he is transforming.

    And of course Oubre is shooting better now.

    Curry looks good tonight because he has Kelly Oubre, Jr.

    Draymond transformed the team more, they defend harder.

    Wiggins is also a first round pick.

    Yeah, but I still would have traded for someone like Marcus Smart, Jrue Holiday, Gary Harris.

    Remember Curry's injury wasn't as bad. Hand broken but nothing more.

    Durant came off an Achilles.
    Harden is overweight.
    Lillard yeah - not Curry.

    lol Wiggins and oubre are both proven 19 ppg scorers in this league and have elite physical tools to play strong defense. There was a debate that wiseman could have gone number 1 if anyone but the wolves had the number 1 pick. And yes harden is miles better than curry

    I forgot he broke his hand.

    Honestly Kerr coached terribly in the 2019 finals. First he came out with that weird defensive plan, then he left Curry and Klay out there 40+ minutes when the game was over, leading to injuries.

    Wiseman looks like a legit stretch center

    It's funny Rockets fans when talking about the individual Warriors in the past years, they always dissed them as overrated. Klay was overrated. Draymond was nothing without the shooters. Now they suddenly became star players who carried Curry to championships.

    In the past, I always asked them, if they were all overrated, then why did you keep saying that they won only because they were too stacked? Are they all great players, a stacked team, or are they all overrated? You can't have it both way.

    Lol exactly. Go to a Klay thread and the same people will say the only reason he's good is because he's playing with Curry.

    These guys all suck individually until they are put together.
