I wasn't comparing Harden and JJ as players. I actually think the comparison is closer than people from both sides have claimed in here.

How was 11-12 Joe's best year when just about all of his numbers went down across the board from a few years ago? Then to top it off, he played like shyt in the playoffs (again)

His numbers were adjacent to his minutes and usage rate. His WS/48 was higher plus he was much more effective on tape.

:why:

Durant and Westbrook are the only scorers in that starting lineup

Exactly and 1 of them was the leading scorer and got to the finals with only 2 scorers in the starting lineup. KD and Russ don't need or want another scorer in the starting lineup if they did they wouldn't have traded Green for Perkins and gave Ibaka an extension. They got 2 allstar starters in their lineup and another coming off the bench. They don't need or want another scorer.

:childplease: you said he's a great defender. No coach would start an inferior player just because the other guy scores too good. Harden just don't fit like that. You watch them play and he gets in the way too much. Harden really ain't all that good. He's good and he's very talented and I don't doubt his potential but he looks like a young Mitch Richmond to me. I wasn't a fan a Richmond as well. You can't win a title with him as your superstar or even #2 option.

So can you plz explain to me why Ginobili comes off the bench? Don't debate hoops with me fami, you'll be better off grabbing 1 of your turds out the toilet and rubbing your nose with it. At least then you'll only have shyt on your face in the privacy of your own home instead of in front of all these ppl.

Offensive BBIQ, he got that Josh Smith syndrome. He can shoot San Antonio out of the game and take them out of rhythm early. Pop is such a good coach, he knows Manu is better off the bench since he doesn't mess up the flow. Harden doesn't have BBIQ issues but he doesn't do the things you need team players to do. He plays for self too much and he isn't all that good.

Personal insults, I could see the steam coming off your hands from typing.

I hate seeing Dallas ahead of us when they only have 1 position in which they're better than us and that's starting PF which really isn't much of a gap between Lee and Dirk if you compare their stats from last year.

lol @ a WS/48. That's the only way your bullshyt holds up.

Oh and by the way


WS/48 for 2012 season

James Harden: .230


Pau Gasol: .165

LaMarcus Aldridge: .169

Carmelo Anthony: .160





Joe Johnson: .144

Those are different players. A lot of what Joe does isn't on the stat sheet but for what Joe does, he excelled last year. Harden stats are overrated because of his role, personnel, and what not.
