    And he doesn't give the other team the ball, followed by pointing at teammates instead of getting back on D.

    Here's we go again thinking we know every damn thing.

    Since you're all knowing who's going to win next year's NBA championship?

    Who going to win the Superbowl?

    Who is going to win the World series?

    So many haters here...

    Rockets do not deserve any star player.

    No, I don't know everything, it just seems that I know a few obvious things that some other people struggle with.

    I mean, if someone suggested that a role player be removed from a contender and replaced them with a superstar player and it would make that team better....most people would realize the obviousness of that statement. I guess it's when you give the role player and superstar names it causes some people to be foolish about it.

    How about if I said if you replace Pat Beverly with Steph Curry the Rockets would be a better team? Is that controversial too?

    Has nothing to do about the player or their IQ...

    The fact is none of us know what the out come would be for either team... It's just a hypothetical guess for each individual on the results.

    Now you're being flat out ridiculous. Klay and Harden are studs. Steph is a stud and Beverley is only a role player. Come on dude.

    So you think Harden would come off the bench if he was with GS and still be the player he is now with the Rockets?

    Again, why are you talking about "years ago" when we are comparing the current Klay and current Harden.

    If you said Harden > Klay, I wouldn't call you a Harden apologist. I could even agree with you.

    But you say Harden >>> Klay. That's the problem.

    In this postseason, Thompson is scoring 24 points per game on .594 TS% while chasing Harden, Lillard/McCollum, Westbrook, and Irving at the other end. What would Harden do to qualify for being >>> Klay?

    Klay is just a 3 point shooter really, he's a better defense version of prime Kevin Martin. I think it's fair to say Klay is to Harden as Bev is to Curry.

    Klay is an all nba player. The gap between Klay and Harden (whichever way one may see it) is a lot smaller than Curry-Bev.

    I like Bev but he probably will never make an All NBA team

    Put Bev on a team where he's allowed to foul without a whistle and he can have 2 offensive linemen blocking for him so that he can take uncontested 3's over and over again and he probably would make an All NBA team. The talk would be how he's an elite defender and one of the best scorers in the game.

    So Klay doesn't have a mid range game, great slasher and attacks the rim at all huh. Man what games do you be watching?

    He's an amazing shooter, that's his game. If Klay is trying to attack the rim, you've already won because it means he's not hitting a 3 which is pretty much what he's best at when his O linemen are blocking for him.

    In this article they have Harden at 1 and Klay at 2. . I've seen this dude Klay carry this Warriors team several times this year as well in the playoffs. Imo he's a Superstar.

    Klay's inability and unwillingness to pass hurts him in all aspects of offense besides coming off screens and spotting up, so his slashing and attacking the rim (which he's at best mediocre at) isn't too valuable. He has 15 assists in the last 11 playoff games, that's Dwight level stuff
