    okay so you said "i expect rhyno to get more looks in the corners and not having constantly to fire them from parking lot"

    what makes you believe that change will happen?

    Harden is one of the top 5 players in the Association.

    My point is and has been, Harden is more efficient and more productive playing next to a player who is a better playmaker than himself and that he has to share the planning responsibilities with.

    Take your ungrateful shtick elsewhere please.

    so Cp3 will increase his assists to 15 while turnovers stay at 2? I believe if cp3 ever does hit 15 assists per game his turnovers will proportionately go up almost 4 a game as well.. but when was the last itme cp3 or anyone else avged 15 assists a season anyway?

    and whats cp3's TS% compared to Harden's?

    I expect..........guys to stop hesitating when the ball is thrown to them, and just take the shots they are capable of making! I expect Paul to lead us as he is well capable of, and take more shots from behind the arc with James out. I expect both CP3 and Gordon to get that ball up high to Clint for the alley oops like Harden does, and avoid low bounce passes as much as possible to Clint. I expect us to put on a show of power, and show everyone that we have lots of capable players, who when given the chance to take more shots can put points on the board!!! I expect......but unfortunately don't look forward to less points on the board from free throws. Lets do this boys!!! Quit making this all about who is best, and lets just play as a team!!

    Don't know. Don't care. I put a crazy huge number out there for emphasis. In MDA's system a playmaker of Paul's ilk can have crazy assist numbers. Much more so than Harden. He'll probably average Nash's numbers maybe slightly more. But the offense with him on court will be more efficient than Harden on court a year ago.

    ok i understood it correctly the first time, its just that i wasn't sure, i believe cp3 will create the looks..hes more patient than harden in probing defenses and creating diversified looks, with harden there were always kinda same kind of looks, at least for rhyno or so it seemed to me...

    so you're saying mda usually wants the offense to start with Ryno on the top of the arc. and harden asks ryno to stay on the top and not go to the corners

    but now harden is out will mda start the offense with ryno on top or in the corners? and if ryno's on top cp3 will tell him to go to the corners?

    and if cp3 is patient and probingm doesn't that mean we will have a slower pace offensively?
