James Harden or Chris Bosh

[PJR]

Who's the more impactful player? Obviously they play different positions, but who would you rather have?

[(e)]

On the Bulls? Harden.

[KDthunderup]

Harden is the best 3rd option in the league

[Kiarip]

Bosh by a mile. Harden is only situationally useful. He's had tons of games where he shoots like shit

[KDthunderup]

Bosh by a mile. Harden is only situationally useful. He's had tons of games where he shoots like shit
Not often at all, he shoots close to 50%.

[k-vil]

They both probably have equal importance for their current team.

Bosh makes life easy for Lebron and Wade to drive because of his ability to extend the defense because of his ability to shoot from the perimeter.

Harden's role of being a sixth man is valuable as what Bosh does for Miami, plus Harden's ability to make plays to compliment Durant and Westbrook when they are on the floor together.

[OKCThunderUP]

Bosh by a mile. Harden is only situationally useful. He's had tons of games where he shoots like shit

Say what? Not really. He started off the season playing inconsistently on the road but fixed that up real quick. You don't shoot 49% on the season by having "tons of games" shooting like shit.

[Quickening]

So according to OKC fans Harden is better than Bosh, Durant is better than Lebron, Westbrook is a top ten player and then they moan about Miami being stacked......:lol

So you take a bunch of random opinions from different OKC fans and put them together as the general consensus? For the record I have never said Lebron is better then Durant and Westbrook is probably just outside the top 10 players.

Ok, thanks for supporting my point.:applause:

It depends on how you rank your top players. Westbrook is very valuable to OKC, he is matchup problem with some point guards as he is lightning quick with the ball and very athletic. Westbrook is a top 10 player in the league this season in my book because of how he played well this season helping this team achieved what they have so far this season.

[Magic731]

I'd take Harden. The only reason I'd consider Bosh over Harden is because he's a big, and everyone knows they are generally more valuable than guards. I just love Harden's game, they way he goes about it. Always seems to make the right decision on the court, always seems very composed. Can knock down the 3 point shot with good consistency and has fancy moves to get to the rim.

Then I look at Bosh and all I see is a big who shoots jump shots all day.

[KDthunderup]

Ok, thanks for supporting my point.:applause:You don't have a point, I bet you will take my comment re Durant & Lebron and use that as the general consensus for every Thunder fan. Random opinions from different fans don't build your argument.

Maybe you have never watched Bosh when he was in Toronto.

[Magic731]

I did watch Bosh when he was in Toronto, and if he was still giving that production I would be taking Bosh. But Bosh hasn't been at Toronto for 2 years, so I'm going to judge him on what he has done this season, not 2-3 years ago.

[stallionaire]

Bosh. He's automatic from mid range, effective in the paint, and IMO he doesn't crack under pressure.

Anyone who picks Harden is too enchanted by his recent performances.

Imagine Harden getting knocked out by World Peace and that's his career in a nutshell.

So you would base it because of how he is being the third option and most of the time the ball is in James and Wade's hand. Harden is also the third option for his team but he can ask for the ball and create for himself so the advantage their would be on Harden. At least Bosh can lead a team to a playoff and he has proven that as being the first option of the team while Harden has never been the first option.

My point is you can never say that you take take Harden because you see Bosh taking jumpshots all day.

The last 2 seasons, I haven't seen Chris Bosh do anything of note. He has the occasional good game, but overall I think Harden has been better.

You raise the point that Harden can ask for the ball and create for himself. Why can't Chris Bosh get into position down in the low block and ask for the ball? At the moment, Harden just seems much more polished to me.

Because Miami would live and die with James and Wade having the ball much of the time and that's their kind of game. Have you seen Chris Bosh this season against Hawks when both James and Wade was not playing?
That basically what he can do if he is the first option

I think what Harden is doing as a third option is more impressive that what Bosh does as a second. As I said, I just really, really like Harden's game. I see few holes in it and he just always seems to make the right decision. I would love to have him on my team.

I wouldnt argue that Harden is impressive in his role for his OKC but to tell that Bosh is the second option in Miami is just not right.

[comerb]

Bosh hands down. Don't let a couple playoffs games cloud the overall picture of what these two have contributed over their season/careers.

Harden has been better in these playoffs, and he's a damn fine player that any team would love to have.

[SacJB Shady]

manu is the best 3rd option to have. or gasol.

:oldlol: SO what you didn't say LeBron was better than Durant. He said OKC fans say Durant is better than LeBron.

[swi7ch]

harden. you don't mess with a spartan warrior!

[qrich]

Bosh have proven more so far in each players respective career, but as of now, it is a toss-up.

[Kobe_6/8]

Harden.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Bosh for sure

[disel]

Harden carried the rox without Dwight to the 2nd best record in the league.he had starters like tariq black, joey dorsey and a dinasour like terry in the starting lineup while he was carrying houston to wins.

Well Dmo won some games for them while Dwight was injured.

[disel]

Dmo and Terrence Jones also missed a lot of games last season and even then harden was carrying them to wins. What harden did last season was amazing. Bosh in his dream can carry the rockets to the 2nd best record in the league with all those injuries

[RRR3]

Bosh for sure
Literally no one sane or with a functional brain thinks this.

[RRR3]

Jesus I can't believe KD WB and Harden were on the same team. ****ing insane. Imagine if OKC kept Harden.

Yes that was mvp type of season for harden, but houston wasn't as bad as you make it sound like.

[Fallen Angel]

They were that bad, Harden literally carried the team all season. Harden took a team full of mediocre three point shooters and mediocre rim protectors to the 2nd seed in the toughest division in the league.

We started to click in the postseason.
