    so, sorry.....

    harden is 5 of 20 from 3

    22 of 25 free throws

    not seeing any generational greatness here. more of a “compiler”
    He can't be guarded.  What are you even talking about?!?

    He had 15 rebounds...  His A/TO rate sucked though...

    He is scoring at will.

    He averages 36/6/8 a night...

    Shoots almost 500 from the field,  37% from 3.

    What don't u like about him?

    don’t love his foul drawing, don’t love his traveling, don’t love his iso game.

    that said, he IS unguardable and he’s about all the rockets have, right now.
    I agree with the fouling.  I've said that but he has been on a tear for a few years now.

    His post up defense is pretty good too.  Love him for that at least.
    Harden can't be guarded because refs call a foul when a player breathes on him. I acknowledge that he is an excellent player, but he is not some generational freak. He is certainly in the top few offensive players in the league, but also in the bottom few defensive players.
    If other top players (Curry/Durant/LBJ etc) had the usage rate, shot attempts, and ridiculous free throw attempts that he had, they would be scoring a heap of points too. Lets not even talk about the travelling.....it's worse than Lebrons
    Heard a great stat today. 

    If u take away Hardens freethows and 3 pointers he would still be leading the league in scoring. 

    Now all this will go for naught if he fades he fades away in the damn playoffs again. 

    I don’t like “ball hogs” aka MJ, kobe, harden.

    yeah, I know this might be how you win but give me GS or the old Jazz for a balanced attack.
    So, famous ball hogs.

    Jordan, Kobe, Iverson, Nique Wilkins, Carmelo to name a few.

    All of them played ISO ball.  When they learned how to play nicely with others, via Jordan and Kobe, they win championships.

    So I'd like to see Harden and Westbrook both win at some point as they do distribute the ball but apparently their teams don't distribute to them...

    Sad but the Pels never stood a chance once Rich Paul entered the fold.  You know Lebron’s guy was praying for an injury filled season.  

    New Orleans is probably going to get the biggest haul in NBA history

    Celtics can't trade for him until after July 1, gives Lakers a big advantage.

    Don't think that's quite an even swap.
    Embiid plus a couple picks maybe.

    I wonder if New Orleans can sue the NBA or Davis now?

    Much more personable.  Embiid is a riot.

    Harden had another 40pt game with CP3 back from injury.

    So interesting stat.  -13 when both Harden and CP3 share the court.

    That ain't good...

    Embiid would never be traded for AD.  Philly would say no to that one.  

    You never get equal value in a superstar trade but NOLA can get smart value.

    To the delusional Knicks fans...  Just like Lebron, Anthony Davis is not going to NY...

    I hope KD leaves GS and then he will see that he will always be 2nd best to Lebron in that he will never win a championship outside of GS.

    Kawhi needs to either stay in Toronto or join the Lakers.

    Why do people keep talking up the Clippers as a destination?

    Why would you trade Davis until you know how the lottery shakes out?

    Can't have 2 Rose Rule players on roster that were both acquired in trade, have to wait for Kyrie's contract to expire June 30
