    Where did you find this? The video looks like an old time bootleg movie. Like the janitor was in the back with his flip phone getting an exclusive.

    Like it. I'm sure Harden is secretly sighing that he doesn't have to carry the whole damn team for another season... including when WB was here... At this rate he'll be done fairly quickly. And, he'll never tell you that. Cousins has the best chance of being healthy in Houston... look how many miles we got out of Gordon after seemingly being done in NO. Look at CP3 after he got injured then treated in Houston... like new.

    The guy looks really humbled. Hopefully, it translates to discipline on the court. Look at Howard... he really calmed the ef down.

    He also looks skinnier in the face but I am not a Cousins expert.

    I'm pretty sure he's going to be as politically correct as possible.

    Q: Are you happy as of this moment?
    A: "I'm looking forward to developing chemistry with our group of guys and with coach Silas."

    Q: Have you and Russell talked since the trade?
    A: "The Wizards are going to be great with Russell because he's a great player. And we're going to be great because we have great players on this team as well."

    Q: Are you and Russell in a good place, despite the trade?
    A: "We're looking forward to getting back to playing basketball and competing night in, night out. And I'm sure he's excited about his situation, too."

    Q: Do you still want to end up in Brooklyn?
    A: "I'm going to be the best basketball player I can be moving forward, so my focus is squarely on the Houston Rockets and how we can bring a title to the city of Houston."

    No jabs at the Rockets. No jabs at the city of Houston. No jabs at Russell. No jabs at the Wizards franchise. Just professionalism.

    Someone get everyone together for this guy. He looked like he was about to cry at the thought having a full squad on the court

    That's why he is kissing up to Silas every day.

    He asked for options on offense. Now he got everything lol. Big men who shoot, overpower or dunk. Wings with three and penetration. Guards with iso halfcourt o, fastbreak, playmaking. Roster is really dope this year finally we are not one dimensional

    I feel bad for Silas.

    The first big task isn't to figure out how to make the team cohesive. It's to make sure Harden doesn't get pissed off before the season even starts.

    Yep that is how you win championships. Look at the Lakers and Warriors. Had multiple ways of ways of playing. Small ball in small samples so but once you go into midget ball mode for 48 it becomes easy to guard and plan against.

    Bring back the mid range game to make Harden a truly triple threat on the court . He will be harder to guard or should I say impossible to guard then because he is already the toughest cover in the nba outside of Lebron

    Get him to come off pin downs by Cousins or double pin downs by both woods and cousins for open shots . Really excited to watch how Silas will do

    Definitely lost a good 10-15 lbs. I'm sure his docs told him to take some weight off to further his career after those injuries.

    So does anyone buy Cousins humble attitude or do you think its just lip service? Probably lip service but at least he is saying the right things.
