    Harden played 50% more minutes than Paul. He's a shooting guard so a coach is naturally going to want to play the best combination of players even if one is better than the other.

    Chris Paul is the better player. Starting for him would be an honor for him, but would most likely not be the best thing for the team. Frankly, I think Paul would rather just kick back and enjoy game instead of playing it at this point so he can rest.

    Consider all his dirty tricks when he played against us, I don't give a **** to him getting healthy or not.

    Cp3's team has gotten better without him, funny enough their Offensive Rating went up after he left.

    As it should have been.

    Harden is having a down year, at least from last year, but he has been the best shooting guard in the league. There's no denying that.

    CP3 has missed a month of playing, that's around a third of the season so far. When he has been on the floor, he has been brilliant but to put him over a Harden in this situation is crazy.

    How much did Durant have to coax Brooks to let James start? Lolol

    Cp3 was injured for far too long, you don't start like that.

    Harden is adjusting to playing alongside Dwight.

    I think your discounting valid opinions by labeling people homers.

    Was that so hard? BTW, it's one thing to be a homer and another to be a hater. You're hating on Harden.

    Curry is the starting PG because of votes. Harden replaces Kobe as the SG.

    It's just Guard and Forward, there is no Center position.

    Harden should start since the Rockets are a third seed and Clippers are fourth seed as of now lol.

    Paul should take Curry's spot in all honesty.
