Does Harden have the worst supporting cast in the league?

[UK2K]

Beverly 13 3 5 on 43/47 Terrific D > Calderon 9 4 3 on 44/47 Terrible D
Harden > Smith/Tim/Shumpert combined
Ariza< Melo
Black < Amare
D-Mo > Dally

Lol, you cant throw Harden into the 'worst supporting cast in the league' argument because the cast is supporting him.

I wouldn't try to argue the Rockets have the worst roster, but outside of Harden and, to a certain extent Ariza, nobody is playing with such an impressive collection of rag tag nobodies.

By your judging criteria, Duncan probably had worse supporting cast and won 5 chips

GOAT gonna GOAT.

Gotta love the douce bags who kept saying Harden only wins because he has above average players around him like Lin, Parsons and Asik. There is no legit argument that can be made against Harden now.

Not only did Houston lose free agents in the summer but they've also been hit with tons of injuries this season..and yet, Harden still finds a way to win. He's taken his game to a whole 'nother level.

We are missing Dwight Howard, Terrence Jones, Papa, Canaan and Garcia. Beverley has played like 3 games since he came back. For a stretch Houston's line up consisted of:

Tarik Black, D-Mo, Ariza and Terry. Take Harden off the roster and that starting line up doesn't win 10 games in the Western Conference. Seriously, what Harden is doing is something historic. No other player has carried a team the way Harden is carrying the Rockets this year.

Harden for MVP.

Pau Gasol's best teammate was a 13th overall pick....

been watching alot of rockets games and honestly Harden has been carrying the team A LOT. definitely Beverly has been of help but that's pretty much all Harden has right now. just watch the games, without Harden, Rockets wouldn't even win HALF of what they have won now.

So its possible then that Daryl Morey is the smartest GM in the league?

Several of these guys were not only passed on in the draft by all the teams once, but some teams twice, and several more were actually drafted and cut by the teams that drafted them. Two of them weren't drafted at all.

Morey just has that amazingly unique eye for talent then I suppose.
