  10. Harden is great. Darris The Toe Garland is good too. I'd rather have Harden. If we had to get rid of Harden to get Lebron , I'm keeping Harden

  12. We were better in the Playoffs with Harden than we were with Garland. Garland is a nice regular season player but he gets manhandled in the playoffs on both sides of the court. Harden isn’t very quick but there were time in the first 2 rounds he got switched on to a big and he was able to stand his ground. Harden also closed out a playoff game with some clutch baskets. The real problem is that even know we were better with Harden than, you can’t win in the NBA playoffs when both of your guards are below average on defense and sometimes the bigs play soft. I see a 2nd round playoff for the Cavs….but yes I like Harden on the team….

  13. I do not think we were better with Harden in the playoffs. So much experience but lazy defense, turnovers that were expected every time he touched the ball. Who cares about regular season he is a continued advantage not to Cavs but to to the opposing teams in playoffs. He will have one good game then four terrible ones. I’m convinced LeBron James did not want to be on his team His many years of no championship continues again this year

  21. Did you forget that Harden broke his thumb?
    The Knicks series was very physically challenging with a thumb that was broke & he still played every game…

    Idk about you, but I'm cool with them getting more time together, a little more help is coming soon I think. If not, let's see what happens🙅🏿‍♀️

  26. Talk about not showing up People forget dean wade didn’t show up in the playoffs matter of fact he had a 0 point performance so Dean Philadelphia can have him
