    Pressure on both of them. They aren't part of the Warriors who added two superstars (Durant and Boogie) to a 72 win team. Let's get this ring!

    Considering KD (pre Warriors time), Westbrook(after the Harden trade), Giannis, AD, well they didn't went to the finals or in some cases win a playoff game. They didn't had much better playoffs then Harden. So stop focusing on Harden in the playoffs. It is what it is, it happened. Look forward, these media guys stuck in the past to much. It's not like everybody can win a chip, surely Harden does want to, badly. But knocking on him, because he had Mr. unreliable and cry baby D12 two times, had a concussion the two years ago, and going against the best team in history last year, is weak analysis.

    I enjoyed that debate. It was different and wayyyy less taglines. I agree with both. Harden has to give us something different & more in the playoffs and CP3 has to prove that he hasn't fallen to Melo's level with that guaranteed contract. As for that means for each individually is what is to be debated.

    Harden re: different / more: clutch gene / urgency and resilience; stop living in the process and to deliver; always be in attack mode
    CP3 re: something to prove: demand more from James; hit his open shots; own the midrange; be the catalyst that gets his teammates more engaged into the offense

    I don't even understand what they were arguing about.

    More pressure on Harden...to do what? Cain went off on a random tangent about the playoffs when we're not even close to the playoffs. I thought Molly was asking about pressure for Harden to continue to get 30+ every night, but there'd be no pressure on him to do that, with CP3 back.

    Pressure is definitely on CP3 to both 1) not mess up the flow of Harden and 2) to contribute at least 3x more than what our other "others" have been doing.

    No. But he owes it to the fans, organization & himself not to quit. Ppl aren't wrong to question his playoff track record

    James Harden of course he doesnt pull a hamstring taking a fart like old ass Paul. Also, Paul is sitting comfy on 160Ms and he only has to work PART TIME .. what a time to be alive huh?
