    OK. So when he plays with a stacked team most of the time, he's having it easy. Now he keeps a team of nobodies in a game until the last three minutes and that can't be evidence because of sample size. If tha't true, those who say he can't carry a team also cannot provide any evidence either. The best you can say is you don't know.

    FVV was literally stationary during the whole play. If you want to crap on Harden, use another example because that ain't it, chief.

    I mean, we have to appreciate it, right? Great coaching, great ball movement. They don't f up very often, truly, and they get about the best shot they can on a ton of their possessions. And then, watch them freaking box out. It's like watching a disciplined high school team. I can't remember the last NBA team I saw consistently put bodies on people like that.

    Curry knows how Harden feels like now.

    Steph looked like he was about to die towards the end...great game from him, but he don’t want to live that Harden life

    it takes so much to be able to carry role players for 82 games plus the playoffs

    And yet if Durant and Klay were not injured, Raptors would have gotten destroyed.

    Talent wins.

    All else is secondary.

    If the talent gap is too wide, all those secondary details wont matter as much, if at all.

    Curry could take a scrub team to 45+ wins probably [if he stayed healthy].

    You don’t play the raptors every single night in the nba regular season.

    No matter what people say, this is all about a team beating another team. Kawhi is not carrying them and there's no pressure to create for him as there is on Harden. Replace Kawhi with Harden as in give Harden a Gasol, Ibaka, VanVleet, Green & Lowry and see what happens. Though Kawhi is still the better player.

    If Harden scores 50+ --> He is a ball hog and does not play the game the right way. Team cannot win with him playing like this.

    If Harden passes to open teammates for better looks and they dont convert --> Harden did not take matter into his own hands. What was he doing??

    lol cant win.

    Warriors go down 3-1

    Durant comes back in game 5

    Durant leads them back from down 3-1 to a game 7

    Durant drops 40 a game 7

    Warriors win and Durant is Finals MVP

    Nike commercial ends

    And scene.

    Will folks here stop disrespecting Klay Thompson btw?

    It's amazing that people forget that he has had several clutch shooting performances during their championship runs and is a big part of what makes that offense potent.
