    CF going overdrive with the stupidity now I see

    Harden is just an All-Star? Don’t play yourself...

    its not even close, Harden trajectory is of a great player nothing more. Harden sulks up the court and gives zero *****, he's everyones favorite rn, but so was McGrady...look how hes viewed now..
    Kawhi is a legend.

    regular season superstars don't go down well in history. Harden did NOT will us to victory. Curry/Leonard are on another planet

    Sucks but reality

    Lol. It was a bit more complex than that. And increasingly in retrospect it’s clear the Spurs “culture” completely f’d this up.

    http://www.sbnation.com/platform/am...-rumors-history-timeline-spurs-gregg-popovich

    Meaning whether Kawhi could have come back faster or not... they basically did their best to make fun of and shame a guy who was legitimately dealing with an injury (even if one that maybe he could have played through and been fine... I certainly don’t know), and doubled down after he left in a pretty unprofessional way. And as a result lost a guy who is a top 1-3 guy in the league when healthy.

    Imagine if the Spurs didn’t **** it up. I’m not saying they’d be in the Finals .... but they’d have had a solid shot.

    harden put up great postseason stats, but he's going to be looked as a disappointment.

    I dont think there's anything worse than a guy who has the capabilities but can't pull it out when it matters.

    This isn’t comparing 2019 to 2019. It’s basically all their history of playoffs as key player.

    One player has a better consistent team around him..... and the other guy has a bunch of G-League players around him.

    If Paul and Capela played half decent against the Warriors, we would now be in the finals.... and I honestly think we'd beat the Raptors quite comfortably.

    Like I said, basketball is a team game. Nobody plays in a vacuum but ok. I’m not doing the “who is better” argument. It’s meaningless.

    Harden is better in the regular season though. End of the day, what matters is MVPs and that’s a regular season award. Kawhi treats regular season like its practice.

    all that has nothing to do with the claim that Harden is just an All-Star

    Curry on another planet? Don’t play yourself...

    I agree, but I think Harden is on the same planet as Curry and Kawhi they are just on another continent. Harden is in Australia.

    You basically just summed up Chris Paul’s career.

    what happens when you focus on getting under the luxury tax instead of improving the team. Makes everyone look bad.

    Harden is better screw you guys. And I know he'll get us the chip. A lot of dudes just exposing themselves right now.

    Kawhi will never impact the game offensively like Harden, and before anyone comes at me with that defense, yea hes great at defense. But I think the gap in Harden's offense off sets that.
