James Harden makes an appearance on the MVP ladder.

Pulling the ball out if the net and running, even with a defensive scheme, is definitely possible, but only if you have a lot of talent on your roster, so you can be effective on both sides of the ball. Lebron is a prime example. You simple need athletes.

 

a lin disciple. i feel sorry for you guys that you just can't ride the harden wave without being able to take your guy's jock out of your mouths. harden love isn't lin hate.

 

I think most of us didn't even think Harden was this good. IMO, Harden is the 2nd best SG in the NBA if not the best. Maybe OKC knew he was special but didn't realized he was this good.

Maybe Harden didn't want to leave a contending team but I think he knows OKC won't be able to sign him to the offer he wanted. I think Harden had a good feeling he was going to be traded if he turn down the offer from OKC. But at the end, this trade was a blessing in disguise for the Rockets. The Rockets got a star player they desperately seeking and OKC got a temporary replacement in Kmart and maybe a future player that can fill in Harden's void in Lamb.

 

Love JVG, but it seems like every time he start talking up the Rockets, the team crashes.

Gundy curse?

 

athletes, high IQ and can understand the pace of the game, unselfish, a few guys who have alpha personality in their game to take big shots

its very simple but hard to accomplish in reality

 

GUNDY CURSE!!!
