    True but I think a lot of them are still in love with stats of the other star player (oblivious of the fact he is stagnating the game and ball movement)

    We shall see. I just do not want to see homers that are pro one player and against another.

    This season is not just on 1 player although Howand has declined.

    I think Harden has a tad more game than Francis but Francis was more athletic

    I think Harden's intelligence off the court and how he views his teammates is going to be his downfall.

    Its hard to show your teammates that you're a team when you own't even go on the team bus with them.

    yes, Dwight is nothing more than a big man version of Steve Francis. Completely dependent on athleticism and has zero basketball fundamentals. Started to decline as early as in late 20s, and will become useless as his physical condition deteriorates.

    totally useless?

    Dmo wished he could box out and rebound like old, old Howard.

    The last thing he will be good at.

    no need for athleticism to go out and rebound

    Dwight's rebounds overrated AF

    He was 3rd in RPG but only 9th in contested RPG. 64.2% of his rebounds were UNCONTESTED.

    http://stats.nba.com/tracking/#!/pl...ir=1&Season=2015-16&SeasonType=Regular Season

    Dwight soaks up easy rebounds that could've gone to his teammates to pad his stats.

    Dwight with no athleticism = basically an overpaid role player

    Dwight is slowing devolving into Steve Francis.

    I doubt Dwight is slowly devolving into a crack addict.

    Stevie Franchise became a drug user later on.

    You should know that, well documented.

    yes he is, because Dwight is nothing without the athleticism, and very dumb and selfish, just like SF.

    Big guys earn more than smaller guys. That is the NBA....

    Even a 33 old Camby who could block shots could earn 8-10 million

    Someone will be paying

    I have no doubt someone will be paying Dwight 'cause there are a lot of dumb morons in NBA front office. Even SF got paid long after his prime, just for the sake of his name value. Doesn't mean he wasn't a horrible player.

    What exactly do you think PER measures? Also, Iverson's highest PER was 25.9. This year, Harden's was 25.3.

    Dwight wasn't worth his max salary. Neither was Harden.

    And like I said before, opponents don't contest rebounds when they know they have no shot at getting it.

    What's the point in citing the stats of an unmotivated, overworked Dwight?

    Who cares if Harden is making less than Dwight? He's still making the max. And in terms of cost/benefit, Harden is ripping us off. It wouldn't take much to motivate Dwight. He's a known quantity. Give him some post touches. Make him feel like he's part of the team. But no. Harden would rather play hero ball and alienate Dwight.

    Sorry, but no. Harden's 2015 season isn't remotely close to Olajuwon's MVP/DPOY/FMVP season.

    And I'm not blaming Harden for not having a historically good year. I'm blaming him for having a down year. IMO, this was arguably his worst season as a Rocket. The offense consistently looked stagnant and predictable, and his defense was laughable.

    Of course. This team was build around Harden. In other news, water is wet.
