One of harlems worst takes, tbh. This is probably why he offed himself, imho.
Yup I agree that's why I'm not sold on them yet considering both Harden and CP3 have a history of choking and melting when faced with adversity during the playoffs.

I never respected Harlem but TBH I think the majority of people not just on ST but fans on other basketball forums had the same view point about CP3 on the Rox. It's still unreal how how Harden and CP3 have found a way to co-exist with both of them getting 9 plus assists game. I don't think anybody thought that was possible. D'antoni has done a great job of being able to utilize their strengths and getting them to mesh together.
Seriously, I can't understand how folks thought this wouldn't work. It's not like they are ty off ball players that can't shoot for . They are both great, complete offensive players that can hurt you in all kind of diferent ways, with or without the ball.
There should have never been any doubt about this thing working, at least for the regular season. Harden's chokeness and Paul's health issues bring questions for the playoffs.
Well, if that's true that's just dumb. How can two guys that can do pretty much anything offensively on a basketball court, while not being Kobe type ball-hoggers, not work?
I could understand people thinking two non-shooting threats not working together, or two Kobe type cancers not working together, but Harden and Paul not working together? That's just re ed.
No not dumb at all TBH. When in NBA history have you ever seen 2 PG's playing together at the same time. A lot of people did not believe CP3 could play off the ball successfully and defer to Harden since historically he's always had the ball in his hands. What CP3 and Harden are doing is unconventional that's why most people could not envision it. If you saw it working out props to you.
My main concern with CP3 is his age, how injury prone he’s been lately (even started the season that way) and the fact he’d want that megamax into his advanced 30s, but I’d trade you 1 Gasol and 1 Mills for him no problem or a Tony.
For better or worse I think Pop is determined to get the most out the bar of soap and his PG son and there’s no way that replace that talent. It’s going to be like replacing Timmy wth Gasol. As good of a replacement you could find for the late injured version of Tim and yet unlike the original in many ways.
Once Manu retires there will be no other and with Tony is the same. It’s just going to be a different team. I have no idea how they acquire the talent they need from one of the guards spots to catapult the team over the hump again.
Two PG's? Harden has been a SG all his career except for one season, c'mon now.
Why are people acting like two ball dominant players have never played together before? Heck, Harden shared a team with Kevin Durant and Russell ing Westbrook, why did people think he wouldn't be able to share a team with Chris Paul?
Sorry but all that previous talk was indeed re ed and reality proves it.
Harden was a PG last year in D'Antoni's system. Yes your right about Harden deferring to Durant and Westbrook but it wasn't about Harden deferring in this situation. It was about CP3 deferring to Harden and that's what most people did not believe could happen since CP3 has always been a ball dominant player. There's no history in his career of him having to defer play making duties to another player. Plus there was no history of him playing off the ball. Anyways I'm done with this discussion. Also there's no reason to be a ing asshole if someone has a different view then yours.
There were also issues in OKC which kinda pointed to possible sharing issues. Things were a bit less settled about Westbrook being the culprit of the inability to play well with others before this season. I do have to say that I am a bit surprised at how pedestrian George looks with OKC.
This is Spurstalk, there's always a reason to be a ing asshole.
Likely a warranted take... BUTThis is Spurstalk, there's always a reason to be a ing asshole.
That statement is utterly unwarranted... no matter if you hated the guy (likely not the case). To mockingly laugh about someone's death just to make a point is low.
cp3 gets hurt every yr in the playoffs. This will not change this yr. You can bet money on that!!!
2017 and D'Antoni system in RS still fooling people around
I like HarlemHeat37. And I obviously don't really think he's dead, tbh.
bro Phenomanul does not think Harlem is dead either
Strange choice of words then:
2017 and D'Antoni system in RS still fooling people around
he should have used the blue front
you should too on your D'Antoni assessment tbh
What D'antoni assessment?
Agreed on the first part. Didn't see it working out. And i feel the same. If they go the same without any adversity during the season and given their history, they could implode. Harden is not a good person as a loser.
I'm expecting an implosion in the playoffs, when they meet the right team. Just can't buy into them. I don't think Harden has changed.
you are not the one jeezing and bragging about the fact harden/paul/d'antoni are awesome and working wonderfully ?
I believe Harlem take like many others was not really about regular season.. give d'antoni system two great ball handlers, 3 pts shooter and you have a great RS tbh... D'antoni made Felton a 9 apg dude.. play offs gonna be a bit different
I never said anything about D'antoni. All I'm saying is that adding Paul was obviously going to make the Rockets better. Anyone thinking differently was either a huge homer or not very good at analyzing basketball, tbh.
Lmao you seriously believe Harlem is dead
