    Idk, I think we will lose in the first round this year, but as long as we stay healthy we should eventually see the 2nd round at least.

    That would be a horrific trade.

    Hopefully this experience will help Harden mature.

    I expect Harden to drop 38 in game 4 ONLY IF we lose game 3.

    He has that "I drop big numbers once the pressure is off" vibe to him. He won't do much as long as the series is realistically up for grabs.

    Why? Melo drops numbers on any and all teams/defenses AND he is inspired to actually play defense from time to time when facing other superstars.

    Melo would be more motivated then Harden. He knows this would be his last chance to get a ring. And Melo at least put more efforts with defense.

    Harden can't finish at the rim like Drexler could.

    Does he want to be Tmac? Or Jordan?

    If he wants to be Jordan, he's going to have to generate his Offense off of playing hard Defense. That's how it works in the playoffs - Defensive intensity feeds your Offensive groove. He needs to learn that instantly. Cause they aren't giving him his regular season ticky-tack calls driving to the basket, nor giving him the space to operate. He's looking for the foul call before he even gets the shot off.

    Harden is more like a young Alex English. Don't think he could get to his level though.

    What?

    James Harden jacked up over 600 3 pointers so far


    Alex English has only jacked up 83 3 pointers, in his entire career.
