James Harden is the MVP favorite and Houston has the NBA's best record, but he's far from satisfied

I agree. First, Rodman would wipe the floor with Green. Every rebound would belong to Rodman. Green would get ragdolled to the point he was pissed off and ultimately be thrown out of the game. Rodman was the master of that.

Jordan > KD
Pippen > Curry
Harper defense > Klay offense
Pick a Bulls center > Pachulia

Moving screens were frequently called, illegal defense definition was different, and handcheck rule. The 90s bulls would demolish the current Warriors (and current Rockets). That defense was so locked down. Curry wouldn't be able to do what he does now. It was too physical. Durant would still dominate but it wouldn't be enough to overtake Jordan.

People forget how good the Bulls were back then. They 3-peated twice!!!

 

Even when you throw in the Celtics and Thunder games in, we are so good against contenders. Such an impressive stat. The real season starts in the playoffs, but these guys have worked so hard and done so well this season.

Could we have asked for a better post All Star break story? Practically tied, we're ahead by a whisker, not too many games left. It's a race with the Warriors. I was worried by what it might cost us to try for 1st seed, but the roster is deep as hell. MDA plays a tight rotation but I think he is MORE likely to trust players later in the season (especially young players) and he is still playing Harden and Paul about the least minutes of their superstar careers.

I just don't understand why Ariza needs to be playing more than 30 minutes anymore. He's shooting well and defends well, but that usually happens more when he's rested.

Very entertaining end of regular season imo.

 

............. who the HELL plays NBA live?
