    okay you win coach K agrees with you that Harden lacked effort during this game. expect him to be benched next game.

    DMo reminds me of David Andersen, possibly worse.

    His offense can be sublime though ...

    Can you think of anyone else we can legitimately acquire who is your best bet to get us an NBA championship then?

    Ball is on your court.

    I would rather build up someone who's locked up on our team, still has room to grow, says he wants to grow, rather than tear him down. That's my reasoning.

    maybe DMo wants to be traded.

    If he still can't hang with the likes of Davis, Faried and Cousins ... maybe it's best to let him go. He's not a game-changer.

    Remember when you went years and years without posting much around here? Do that again.

    Team USA clearly has superior talent 1 overall. Not much relevant info can really be garnered in this kind of game because it's just so different from what players will face in an actual NBA game.

    Harden and several of the other US players might not have been going all out because they didn't need to. DMo, on the other hand, will not be facing an Allstar team in the NBA season and will likely have more talented teammates on his own team.

    Well it's Harden so you expect people to post for clicks, but that's not really something that would concern Thib. Thib's systems are conservative, that the player was delayed for several seconds is more a case of where is the help because the help had time, and in a game where the refs were calling Harden and Curry for being in the vicinity, are you really going to try and run the gauntlet and hold position on a pushback into a flop?

    We all.saw the Portland series and how he struggled every game except the last. No reason for research his okc stats. The last 2 seasons he has flopped in playoffs

    At least Darko was a decent post defender, a solid shot blocker, and could bang the boards every once in a blue moon. D- Mo be getting owned downlow from time to time.

    I'm partial to max effort guys, especially considering that offense is not an issue with Dwight, Harden, and Chandler....I mean Ariza. Faried and a decent point guard so that Bev can be a defensive specialist off the bench.

    I like Jones skills but the effort part kills him.

    So you would rather have tony Allen as our SG? keep hating bro he wasn't an all star, got 5th in MVP voting, all nba 1st team for no reason. People like you are what's wrong with sports these days, go join the lebron bandwagon and be a Cleveland fan.

    You either support your team unconditionally or gtfoh with that $hit. Max effort doesn't mean anything and is the stupidest way you can judge a player. I would rather have a half assing Harden than a max effort guy like Allen everyday of the week and twice on Sundays.

    TJ has improved every year so far and that says more than alot of young players in the league..you don't have to play with faried effort to be good. faried's effort comes alot to compensate his lack of skills. effort can only get you so far.
