CP3 is no KD, Howard is no KD, Melo is no KD. The *** kind of thread is this.... Harden isn't as good as KD, who the hell cares, he is a top 10 player. KD on this team would not have carried us much further. KD has SO MUCH HELP. This Rockets team just started to form chemistry, and Harden's only real consistent help is Asik. Lin is ok, the rest of the team is so young and inexperienced and I believe will AT BEST a quality role player, who never makes an All-star team. KD has Westbrook and Ibaka, 1 of who will be an All-star almost every year, the other one has the potential to be just the same. Then a slew of role players, and 4 years under their belt player together.
Be happy that we have a player that at least is or has the potential to be a superstar. He will never be a "tier 1" superstar if what you mean by tier one is Lebron/Durant/prime Kobe. He just doesn't have the physical tools to be THAT good.
"James Harden is no Kevin Durant" no ****, Sherlock. Then again, Harden is only 24, and already a top 10 player. We're still fortunate to have him.
When will my block feature be activated? If there even is one. I can't wait to block all of the logic-starved posters I see running rampant here.
Hmmmm. An post critical of Morey was allowed to get posted? My last post critical of Morey was not allowed to be posted and I started to think that CF had become a praise Morey only board. I don't know.
The criticism of Harden in this thread is not fair. I have been very skeptical of the FA for a couple years now and the results this year bears that out, again. However, Harden was the bright spot this year and the team's performance, admittedly, was a big surprise. The Rockets are still light years away from a championship so Harden and the young players deserve to be given some slack. Their spunk and fighting spirit was really admirable during the season. So, wait til next year, again.
