    I really wish James would just carry the short shorts all the way to the reg season.

    3Za's value to the team (to be more specific, value to Houston Rockets), like the spacing Ryno creates, is hard to gauge using stats like RPM, PER (unlike some other grumpy poster here would argue)

    Wonder why no Harden and CP3 lineup in practice?

    Remember that time we were confused on why it looked like Harden and Lawson never practice with each other.

    Yeah for sure! exactly my point.

    I mean your talking about statistically, the most complete pg of all time. I mean honestly, look at his stats, they are historic.

    To put him in this system, we know works wonderfully, especially with PGs and the thought gets me extremely excited.

    This system made Lin a phenom and rich person. It kept Nash's peak going and kept him highly useful until his late late thirties. It made harden l, arguably, the best player in the NBA last year.

    So to take a mind and talent the level of cp3 and put him in his system, next to harden and these role players, and it's amazing.

    I'm so flipping stoked and ready for this year to begin.

    I think a lot has to do with getting cp3 acclimated to the players and system. Get chemistry built for him. Harden already has it locked in that regard.

    So, let cp3 run it the first day or two and get comfy. Ease harden into the mix and start figuring that out. Let harden start running it so he can figure it out in that regard. And then full on sharing duties as it goes along.

    I'm extremely optimistic about this season and our potential, but not naive enough to the fact it will take time to work the kinks. It will take meaningful regular season games to figure everything out but I am positive they will

    The media is only allowed to watch a few minutes of the day. All the video we've seen looks to be the same 16 minutes from different ppl taken at various angles.

    When teams who are tanking start to buyout their guys we might look to trade Chinanu for a 2nd rounder or cash and cut Bobby Brown
