James Harden or Carmelo Anthony

[No_bammer_weed]

And harden doesnt get dbl team. How do you think our perimter shooters get open 3 and set records.

You act like Harden averages a lot mroe free throw attempts. He only average 2 more free throw attempts than Melo, so kill it witht he bias ref treatment.

And two can play this game. IfHarden had as many shot attempts as melo it wouldnt be close.

Harden has Lin and Parson adn Melo has Jr Rider and felton. you just being stupid now

All year long yall been shytting on Lin and now yall big him up to build your argument agaisnt Harden. Aight.

dog, you're lookin like n ass right now, son.

Alright, so you tried to control the debate by saying that body of work doesnt count, but even that doesnt work to your favor. Sure, their stats are comparable, but the Knicks are a top team and Houston is a playoff bubble squad. Wins matter, right?

How many players have we seen beast on average squads, only to play small when the pressure gets tight --- and we all saw Harden sht the bed against Miami in the finals.

Point blank, Harden hasnt proved sht, even if we were to abstract all of Melo's accomplishments away in order to make this a fair comparison. When the spotlight is on, Melo elevates his game --- we've seen none of this from Harden. So yeah, this thread is off. Get back to us when Harden starts playing some meaningful basketball.

Harden is off to a decent lil start as being the "man" on his own squad. Dont get all excited and start reaching, comparing him to a top 10 player.

LOL @ all this. Melo shoots 46% in the regular season, but 40% in the playoffs. He become a high volume low efficiceny scorere when the defense tightens up in the playoffs, just like last season in the first round agasint the Heat.

You talk about meaningful games? Harden already been to the finals and he 's a big reason OKC got there. They dont get there without Harden.

Right now
Harden>Melo.

Both great scores. Harden scores more efficiently but ppl want to punish him for that. And Harden is a better playmaker. The better all-around player is Harden. Theres no debate.

Do you even watch basketball? Did you watch that Knick/Heat series last year? Baron Davis' knee exploded. Tyson had the flu. Amare went toe to toe with a fire extinguisher case and lost....we had mike bibby and Landry fields as our starting backcourt. The heat were doubling and tripling Melo w/o concern.

Yeah, Harden did work as the third option on his squad, and even then he was horrendous in the finals. Funny you bring up the heat/knicks. The knicks even with a hurt squad beat the Heat as many times as a stacked Thunder squad did.

Harden is a good playmaker, hes also top 10 in turnovers. You're bordering on trolling now. Harden has had a decent run as the main option on an average squad, and now you wanna say he's better than melo..okay, bruh.

LOL Harden went milk carton in the playoffs. Melo's efficiency did drop but its because he had to do all the scoring under dire conditions.

Man, fukk outta here. Melo shoots 41% in the playoffs for his career. Thats not steppin up. Only reason he had success that one year was because big shot chancey came on the team and taught him how to win.

Talk about winning when it matters. When has Melo ever won when it matters? Answer that.

And dont act like Melo aint had squad in Denver.



And yep Houston is an above average team when everybdoy had them as a high lottery team.

Every 1st round playoff series Melo has lost, the other team had a significant advantage. The only two they didnt was against the Clips, and Utah. One of those series he was playing with a disruptive, over the hill A.I as a second option. Bringing him in was an obvious mistake.

Melo had a competent squad in 08-09, and they were arguably the second best team in the league behind the Lakes, and gave them their best series that year in the w.c finals.

The burden is on you, bruh. Melo is considered a top 10 player. Harden is not. You can keep throwing shade on Melo all you want to make Harden look good --- its not going to change the fact that Harden has been a third option his whole career, except the last two months, and hes playing on a squad 2-3 games over .500, and now you wanna say hes better than Melo.

 

[Johnny Kilroy]

I'd take Harden.

He's younger, he passes and he's been out of the 1st round more than once.

Wrong Houston took the Lakers to seven games that year that Melo lost to them in 6.

Cant have it both ways. Melo is 1-9 in playoffs series in the first round and he was the best player on his squads every series. TMac got crucified for that type of shyt. Melo cant be exempt.


You cant give him all the credit for being great and not the criticism. You acting like you his publicist.

 

[Boogie]

All of this is irrelevant.

-Derrick Rose approves this message.

Yeah, cause Tmac was losing to teams like loaded Spurs, Heat, Celtics and Lakers squads.

Dress it anyway you want. 10 first round series. 1 series win. Any other so call superstar with them results are crucified and question

Criticism should be relevant, reasonable, and appropriate. Melo is not a GM, so you cant hold him responsible for the quality of teams he played w/ over the years. His teams had no shot...

For instance, if the Rockets make the 8/7 seed and play against the Spurs/Thunder, Im not going to talk ish about Harden if his team loses against them. If you want to have a serious B-ball discussion, then advance serious ideas, fam.

 

[Luke Cage]

Harden is a choke artist. Lets see how he does in the playoffs when others gameplan for him. First round sweep if they make the playoffs. Coli dollars on it. Playoff ppg avg will be 15.

 

[Luke Cage]

You can't really compare the 2 Melo is a straight up scorer while Harden can score he's a better playmaker than Melo.



I know were not talking about Carmelo who has never even been to the finals.

Lets see how many finals harden gets to without Durant.

I've watched Carmelo in the playoffs every year since he's been in the league. There hasn't been a year that he hasn't laid an egg in the postseason. Even in the 2009 playoffs that his stans so love to bring up. He disappeared after the first game against the Lakers.

Carmelo is not a playoff performer. Stop trying to re-write history. He has underperformed every single year.
