Should we just say screw it and try to let Harden average 40?

    Nice game tonight but who cares? We are not as good as the real contenders.

    Let Harden get 40 a night. Sell out for it. Russ can get his trip dubs too to let him go along with it. Tillman can issue debt against Harden to buy more steaks.

    China will have a sad because they will miss it.

    If we are going not use Harden Prime for a title, let's use it for something awesome and cool. It's way cooler tthan losing in the 1st or 2nd round.

    Fire Morey
    Fire D'Antoni
    Trade Harden
    Trade Westbrook
    Tear it down
    Keep House & Clemons
    Let Tilly & Patrick build their own team!

    Now that is way cooler than losing in the 1st or 2nd round!

    Tanking would mean trading Harden for John Wall and a billion draft picks.

    This is the pursuit of history. Does anybody remember the NBA champion?

    No. Who won in 62? I don't know probably Boston because they won all of them but maybe it was st. Louis Hawks. I know they won one in there.

    But i know Wilt averaged 50.4 and scored 100

    Tbh I’m done with harden. Let him get his ppg. And have a disappointed year like always. I’m ready to move from him. He literally doesn’t play defense.

    come at me. Lmk when he plays defense.

    no because he gets worse as a player, just look at his ball hog melo chucking this year. Last year 30 point streak was the worst thing to happen to him

    Your take is wrong. The stats do not back your statement. And you are #20 on the ignore list! Grats!

    I agree, but I watched some of the game. If you did who else was going to score? Eric is beyond off, Rivers is not playing well. Capela is looking half of his normal self. Mclemore and House? the guy had to do every bit of it tonight just to get a win. When the team regains some confidence I'm hoping the harden iso's will be tapered

    I don't think anything will stop Harden from averaging 40 points per game this season. I think he already made up his mind to do that to get into the record books again. I also don't think anything will stop Russ from averaging another triple double this year, because he wants to and will probably become the all time triple double leader by the end of this year. Once he does that, he will stay in the record books as leader for that for at a minimum 50 plus years! Only the "I", begging the basketball g's not to let happen, can stop either of them from doing so. The only question that remains is can the team learn to play enough defense to support their efforts to win at a high level.

    James is disrespecting the game and his teammates. He also paints a picture that is not worthy of a champion. Steph Curry is a liability on defense but he at least gets a hand up or a solid effort. We don't need James to play like he is dennis Rodman but he cant just be clueless and be the leader of the team playing both ends the way he does

    The league disrespects James by letting him average 36 points a season (again) in the middle of a shooting slump

    Come on people try harder. Or else he'll have to get bored and average 40 on you.

    Really they like it because every great scorer in this league has failed because of underutilizing their teammates.We got outscored in the paint 66 to 30. When Miami beat us they took the amount of threes we did but they scored a ton in the paint. If we drive to score and kick the ball and then swing the ball our offense will be so much easier. The big guys have got to get some easy baskets. We need the Manimal back
