    Better without Chris Paul

    I think so...13 is too many points to give Houston

    Is it a coincidence that the worse Harden plays, the better his team does usually.

    too isolated of a player

    Harden is one of the best ever but warriors built to stop him. He lights up any other defense

    Bet him OVER on total assists one time- It'l make you sick. Triple teamed, he's trapped in a cage of human arms and legs...AND HE STILL SHOOTS IT!?

    Absolutely inaccurate. Harden is a lifelong career choker in the playoffs - it doesn't matter what team he plays. Paul is far more valuable to the Rockets than Harden ever will be.

    Better w/out Paul?

    Not according to the numbers. In Houston's wins in Games 4 and 5, Paul went a stretch of 51 minutes without a single turnover. That is insane. In 80 minutes of action over those 2 games, Paul had 3 turnovers TOTAL. In Houson's 3 wins this series, Paul played 114 minutes and has a total of 5 turnovers.

    But that doesn't tell the entire story. Paul's shooting in game 4 and 5, especially from 3, where he went 9 of 18. 50% from 3 against the Warriors perimeter D is about as good as it gets.

    There is not a single data point that you can point to that would prove your theory.

    My good friend and used to be Neighbor George Karl told me once "Injuries are good" and they usually are for a game or two- It was just a half in this case- And Chris Paul doesn't look like Chris paul anymore- How many assists did he average in the playoffs...4? How many boards?

    In Game 5, Paul had more rebounds than Harden and Ariza COMBINED.

    Oh, he also led the Rockets in assists.

    And, in Game 4 and Game 5, Paul put up more assists than any other player on either team.

    You want to try for a new theory?
