Better passer, better playmaker, deadly shooter from anywhere on the court, and much better defender. Not to mention CP's intensity and leadership which positively affects the whole team. Harden has better counting stats only because of his high usage and FG attempts. In terms of advanced stats, CP3 has always been a monster and in some areas even better than Harden. Also, you can always count on CP to make the right plays on almost every single possession. That's why he's so reliable when the team desperately needs a bucket, because CP will create it out of thin air. Can't say that about Harden, who's a turnover machine with propensity to jack up ill-advised shots. No one can deny that our offense runs much more smoothly when CP3 is our orchestrator. When Harden plays that role, it gets clunky with lots of ISOs and predictable passes. Also, Harden doesn't probe the defense like CP regularly does, making it much easier to defend. Hear me now, quote me later : If Harden grows up and accepts the fact that CP is our new alpha dog, there is no ceiling to this team's potential. If he doesn't, it will be another disappointing year for the Rockets fans.
lol, you are on a roll lately dude. this team is built around cp3 and harden. They are our two stars. Go back to spurstalk for a lil
Y’all just looking for stuff huh.. We doing good how we are. Let us play our game and enjoy the roll we are on.
You can build around both players. Harden and Paul are still learning to play with each other. I'm happy with the way things are going.
And @Harden's beard needs to eat cereal for breakfast and not lead paint chips in a bowl of fentanyl. Some things just don't happen the way we think they should.
I’ve been thinking long and hard about this topic lately. I’ve come to the conclusion that the Rockets need to build around Bobby Brown No one has better 3 pt range, ball handles, control of an offense, control of our defense, basketball I Q, most popular in the locker room.......yeah, I’m sure I’m right. Hez got mad skillz!! Not even OP can argue that.
