    What if I told you being happier leads to better results in your life?

    would you be willing to adapt to a posting style where you say only absolutely positive things and express only positive thoughts?

    Is Durant happier without Harden and WB?

    Well, he had his results beefing with Donkey.

    happiness is not the only factor....one has to go about it in a subtle and holistic way .... besides the gsw team had an absurd amount of the refs help so it skews everything

    I dont think its the refs it's the fact they had 3-4 all stars on the team at all times. Basketball is innately a competitive sport when you have so much talent and lording it over everyone else it masks a lot of issues.

    In January, Harden is shooting .366% from the field and .302% from 3.

    Westbrook, on the other hand, is shooting .509 from the field in January. Westbrook is making Westbrook.

    Incidentally, we are 4-5 when Westbrook scores 30 or more points.

    My guess is that Westbrook scores a lot when the opponent focuses on double teaming Harden, keeping the ball out of Harden's hand.

    Someone mentioned it in another thread that the Rockets don't have a good scheme to punish the opponent when they double on Harden. Letting Westbrook do his things doesn't seem to produce a lot of wins.

    because the negative thinking is so strong with them...its a lot easier to and it comes to them naturally...you gotta have a character to think positively in adversity...I admire Westbrook who said he lives for moments such as these.. for the tough times.. actually to think it means having the thoughts that are different from apparent reality otherwise its not thinking

    Knock on his shooting ability but the dude doesn't curl up in a ball and start moping around the court when **** doesn't go his way like Harden does.

    Dude has an impressive motor. I respect that about him. Not nearly as skilled offensively as Harden but respect his motor and he's more fun to watch because of it.

    Because harden has developed some bad habits and nobody will call him on it.

    I hate it when players for my favorite team have the bad habit of always being an MVP candidate.

    Really grinds my gears.

    D'Antoni and then Morey after he has fired the aforementioned D'Antoni.
