Wade was young when he played with Shaq, same age Harden was when he played with KD and Russ. I judge guys by what they do when it's needed most. For me that is >>> regular season performance regardless of how great it may be. Where has this superlative scoring and playmaking been when it was needed most? You up double digits in back to back games with a chance to go to the Finals...where is it? Steph out for the series...where is it? Klay out for most of the fourth in a elimination game...where is it? KD out for the series...where is it? Kawhi out, season on the line...where is it? Dudes numbers in elimination games are atrocious. We don't see all the shyt you talking about when it's hot. We see the exact opposite. That's what makes me look at those numbers funny. Superstars are supposed to go to another level in the playoffs. He drops off. So I can't look at those numbers the same. Not to mention he was in a known cheese offense that took Nash from a nice player to an pantheon PG at 30. Wade on the other hand made his name by stepping up when shyt was on fire. I do think he is kinda overrated and lived off of that series for pretty much the rest of his career. Harden definitely has him on durability and longevity. The 2012 Thunder win it all with a 22 year old D. Wade. Is young Harden stepping into Wade's shoes and delivering down 0-2 and down 13 late in 2006? 27 year old D. Wade is giving you more against the Spurs without Kawhi. Wade did what was necessary on and off the court to make him and Bron work. Harden didn't do that with CP3. He didn't even do it with his man's Russ. Would he do it with Bron?

I can't argue with this at all. You're right.

As someone who watching a lot of regular season basketball the one thing I still struggle with is that chasm between regular season and playoff basketball. It appeared to have grown and I hate admitting to myself that much of what I'm watching from November through April is downright meaningless. That's where a guy like Harden has made his name. It's hard for me to pretend that doesn't exists but you're right.

That was probably Silas's locker room speech before the game too

Kemba

I don't understand why Bud makes things difficult for his team down the stretch. Get Giannis the ball in the high post area like Dirk.

 

[Regular_P]

Why did Giannis give the ball back to Middleton when he had Kemba on him?

What the fukk is Marcus Smart doing out there @Copy Ninja ?
