In spite of your claims, I never called those guys shitty. Not once. All I said was that the idea that Harden is making these guys better than they have been in years past is categorically false. You are right that it cant be both. And I never once said it was both.

And then you continue to say that Harden is elevating their play. Care to show me how? Because the 5 players I mentioned are not playing better than they played in years past. Its simply a narrative that you and others are choosing to run with because the Rockets record is so good.
The same way Curry did two years ago with the Warriors? Fact is, Harden is getting penalized for the same reasons Curry was praised two years ago, specifically for team success. Currey's supporting cast was MUCH better than Harden's was two years ago, yet that did not factor in the MVP decision. This season however, it is being used against Harden.

Kinda interesting that some of Harden's teammates, who were starters with their old teams, are coming off the bench now and are playing better team basketball...
