    Did you ignore the words of his post and only look at the pictures? Unsurprising.

    What’s ridiculous is CP3 being given a pass and praised as a leader. He’s been “hurt “ his whole career when it mattered most. Including when he was closest to the finals. Maybe he’s a brittle & overrated.

    I'm still waiting for you to explain how PJ Tucker is the "ultimate Lakers killer" or some nonsense like that. It should be highly entertaining.

    Seriously though, I don't mind explaining why you're wrong. Just ask.

    And better team talent.

    And according to many on CF, much much much better coaches and FO.

    How much did Butler's dog help when he played for 6ers, Minny and Bulls?

    If anything, weak willed Harden should be given even more credit for leading NBA in WINS the last 5 seasons considering his inherent lack of intangibles.

    Man you funny. Now you just making excuses. Those teams weren’t juggernauts so who on those teams had more “dog” than him?

    Fly needs to move goal posts now because his sorry ass is losing again.

    If you can't maintain an erection, just give up.

    On Minnesota? KAT/Wiggins was their franchise core. Philly? Embiid/Simmons. Those guys didn't have more "dog" than Butler, but they had more clout.

    In Chicago, he had to deal with Rose's shadow and eventually Wade's.

    Sounds like you're projecting. Seriously though, since you're wrong about so many things, I don't mind teaching you. All I ask is that you go into it with an open mind.

    Excuses. Define “take over” again?

    It's not that vastly different. It just looks different because they are hitting their shots lol. That makes a big difference. They actually have shooters the run curls and cuts for. Instead of relying heavily on Harden creating from scratch.

    A Harden fan is accusing me of excuses? That's rich.

    Quote me where I said "take over", and I'll elaborate.

    More flies and lies.

    Butler was unquestioned leader in Minny and Philly.

    Your stench of deceit is gut turning.

    It's vastly different. Look how many mid-range shots Butler and Herro take. It's part of their game plan.

    Don't be fooled. That's the way Harden wants to play.

    He does get more credit.... which is why he’s unanimously viewed as the better player

    You’ve been making excuses for Butler for pages.

    "Towns reportedly won’t even sign his rookie max extension — five years between $158 and $190 million if he makes All-NBA or wins Defensive Player of the Year — until Minnesota hashes out its business with Butler."


    In case you're wondering, that's called "clout"
