Paul has routinely failed to beat the shot clock this year so not sure why people are convinced he's more likely to get his shot off.
If we're inbounding in the FRONT COURT I'm fine with Harden. If we're inbounding 94 feet, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, let CP3 get it done.
Clearly, this is why he is here. When Harden goes into his predictable stupors, CP3 to the rescue. There are times that Harden looks Jordon-like, and there are times he looks like Pee-Wee Herman, spastic.
CP3 is clutch when he needs to be but overall this season Harden's been more clutch. There have been so many games this season where he's hit huge shots / daggers in the final two minute of games to seal wins, i.e. Blazers game in Portland a few weeks ago, Warriors game here back in early February (step back three over Curry and then blocked Curry's 3), multiple step back 3s over Ginobilli and Aldrige in San Antonio about a month ago, multiple 3s to ice games vs T-Wolves here in Houston and at Minnesota. I can go on and on...
