Once again for reading comprehension. Houston has shooters/scorers on that roster. They're still a top four offense without him.
Are your arguing that the Beard plays defense?
Your chart is moot, Denver is a top offense as well
SAS are ranked below Toronto
Great players make their teammates better and that's what Harden did
Rockets were projected to have a worst season record than the Thunder before the regular season started. This narrative that Rockets are stacked came out of this regular season when Rockets didn't turn to complete shit when Harden was off the floor while the Thunder did when Russ was off. Not really Harden's fault Billy Donovan doesn't know how to coach when Russ is on the bench.
And Harden's defense is improved from previous seasons, another thing that has carried over for him and not carried over for other players.
The only argument I have against him is his astronomical turnover rate and even then Russ is right there behind him.
Y'all pull these charts out when they don't mean anything when you put it into proper context. No reading comprehension is required for that.
