[Calvin Watkins] Harden named starting point guard

lol if JB was still here I would definitely say Brewer

 

I don't see Pablo lasting through training camp and I have a feeling Trez gets traded soon propaply for a pick to clear up the logjam at the big spots, he's too much of an oddball personnel wise

 

Lawson didn't work out because he was a high functioning alcoholic that stopped drinking.

 

LOL!!!!!

I can't see this helping Harden be a better defender

 

Just a fancy word for ball hogger.

 

Hmm The Rockets are taking the element of surprise approach on defense this year... i like it!

 

This is the most interesting post IMO. The change to me now is that the guard paired with Harden no longer must have the handles to bring the ball up. If you have a great defender of point guards who can't dribble worth anything, go ahead and play them. Interesting.....

 

Will Harden lead the league in assists this year?

 

Harden has made Bev obsolete.

 

Should have been done a long time ago to minimize confusion.

 

Worst defensive teams in the NBA:

1. Spoiler

   Kings
2. Spoiler

   76ers
3. Spoiler

   Suns
4. Spoiler

   Lakers
5. Spoiler

   Rockets

Analytically speaking, how much worse can we get? Bring in Mike D and replace Beverley for Harden.

 

I doubt our coach thought much about that...Oddly enough I think Harden would do well on some PGs, his biggest issue on defense is guarding guys that run off screens and move off the ball, not many PGs are used that way in the NBA because they are the ones making the pass to guy cutting off a screen.

 

What was the point (no pun intended) of acquiring Tyler Ennis? Where and when does Patrick Beverley play? Can Harden defend quicker, faster, smaller point guards? I am hopeful but concerned.

 

Harden/Beverley/Ennis/Prigioni/Bobby Brown/Isaiah Taylor/Gary Payton II
Gordon/Brewer/KJ McDaniels
Ariza/Dekker
Anderson/D-Mo/Montrezl/Wiltjer
Capela/Nene/Onuaku

Dear lord, please do not let Brewer be our SG off the bench.

 

damn dude

 

ariza will be annoucnng his retirement before the season starts. "it was a good career, but there's only so many players i can guard at the same time. im only one man, not five. i can barely get my feet off the floor for those wide open threes in the 4th qtr. i dont even have enough energy for sex after the game. i just pass out in the locker room. wife left me. harden, gordon, and anderson startin? nah, i'll pass. these ********** dont know how to spell defense."

 

I really want to see:
Harden
Gordon
McDaniels
Ariza
Best big

Ariza and McDaniels take the toughest covers, Switch everything 1-4, run and gun.
