The biggest, unanswered, nagging question I have about this season:

We're not a lottery team btw, but ermm, okc are a lottery team without Durant, he knows this first hand too.

 

if we trade Dwight like in this hypothetical scenario that Harden is pushing him out then we most likely WILL be a lottery team.
And last year OKC missed a lot of Westbrick too. AND Ibaka.

 

Harden doesn't want to play with Durant. Harden want to be his own boss. As long he gets to be a star, winning doesn't matter to him.

 

Its ok, Harden and Durant has something figured out for both of them. it's clear that Harden wants to reunite with KD.

eee chop yub nub

 

I was thinking the same thing the other day. James always lobs it to Capela but not so much to Dwight.

 

The nagging question I have... is why is Harden bringing the ball upcourt most posessions?
Is this what JB wants or is this Harden doing what he wants and ignoring the coach?

I mean, it's dumb as hell... Harden takes 8-10 seconds to get the ball to the top of the the key... so a third to around half of the shot clock is gone before we're even looking at setting up a shot... defense is all back and in place, our guys have been standing around for a few seconds, Dwight has already been battling for position for that time... no quick transition buckets...
PLUS James was already complaining about too many minutes... that's time that he wouldn't need to be hammering the ball...
Even if someone else brought it up (bev/jt/ty) looked for an easy opportunity and if not gave it back to Harden when he made it up to the top of the key...

I don't get it... can someone please tell me what that is all about? It's like we start most possessions in the hole...

 

Bball, you got too much conspiracy theories going through your head

JHarden is a lazy dude, other than his brand and his big arse girls he would not wrap his mind around the idea of driving his big man out of town
