    Nonsense. Paul was playing iso ball just as much as harden was playing.the issue was he hit a wall the next season and declined badly .

    I never said it wasn’t KDs team but they are playing Harden ball. They are contenders like it or not.

    Exactly . Who is running the offense?. They were 6-6 before the trade and looking terrible.Now they have the best offense of all time. Just the last two games without KD they averaged 132 points and put up 128 without Kyrie and Durant. The real point god is harden

    Lord bearded point guard

    Lol. The Harden haters will say anything to rationalize.

    Harden is controlling the whole offense and starting to get more and more aggressive. And that offense will lead the Nets to the Finals this season.

    Classic. It wasn't James' fault that Jeremy just wasn't talented.

    Do you even watch games, other than the defense part, we played way slower with Paul, and Both Harden and Paul stood near at the half court line or in the corner when the other guy had the ball. If anything our pace went way up with Westbrook, but it got super sloppy.

    There was no imaginary motion/quick offense when Paul was here, it was heavily based on isolations, PnR and Drive and kicks. It worked because For 1 season Chris Paul was able to run the offense by himself while Harden was sitting.

    Harden is at 50/40/90 as a Net. Also looks like his assist to turnover ratio is at a career high for him.

    And that midrange jumper he shot yesterday, without hesitation, was pretty sweet too.

    I was a couple of points and rebounds off. The national media will finally understand Harden can pretty much do anything on the basketball court he wants to do. He just can't do it all by himself all the time.

    We had a lot of pace in 1st season and that's what I meant. Of course we played ISO halfcourt, of course there was no motion offense in Adelman style, but we were a lot faster in decision making, running with fast breaks where there was a chance, taking first good shot etc. We were GREAT defensive team DESPITE JH and not because of him. It all started with CP calling out plays on defense, holding people accountable etc. It's his style and they played it everywhere he went. Second season was shistshow all-around and we played Harden ball then, I will agree. And that's where the pairing fractured - CP yelled at Harden to move, he refused too etc.

    And if 99% of nba fans think Brooklyn is Durants team and Harden will never get credit as 'the man' since he joined two superstars, and here we are on the Clutchfans with 10 guys thinking otherwise calling me names - who do you think is delusional? lol James Harden is solidified in basketball history as one of the greatest BETA ever. He will never be in the MJ/LeBron/Curry/Kobe/Bird/Magic/Kareem/Hakeem/etc bracket.

    Steph a smith, perkins, Skip Bayless, Windhorst, Zach Lowe and Broussard: Harden is the best point guard in the nba. The talking heads are changing their tune this morning!

    What's Zach Lowe saying? I haven't been following his takes since ESPN decided to put his stuff behind a paywall.

    o_O ??
    There maybe a few fans who wanted to get rid of Harden. But the "fake fans" thing is about rooting for him on the other team whose success is our woe. You guys are doing exactly that. Rooting for the Nets.

    Hardens feel for the game by being facilitator and ability take over when needed be is second to none.
