    Tanking to Me is possibly is a losers mentality, this team still has two great players in My opinion, no need to possibly tank at the moment. Patience, this team just possibly needs a proper coach and system to prosper, no need to blow up the team in My opinion at the moment.

    Agreed he is more likable than Harden who turns into a Kobe type of player without the success and clutch gene.

    Come on. At least Bryant played decent defense.

    That is true. I was talking about not many players really want to play with Harden once they figured he is a dribbling monster and ballhog

    Howard shows up to play, the only reason he is subject to blame from the fans is because he's staying calm about the whole situation...I'm sure he's pretty pissed about the lack of touches he's getting. The big guy was huge for us last season and the main reason we made as much noise as we did in the post season. He's not what he used to be, but he does his job.

    really? kobe had a clutch moment in the finals? what clutch moment is that? Kobe is one of the most unclutch players of all time. He's literally a testament to how unimportant "the clutch" really is.

    Clutch alley oop pass to Shaq for the win? 50 NBA moments in history. Look it up.

    Clutch plays. I am not a Kobe fan but I am sure TNT or ABC can dig up some footages.

    I could care less if he's traded or not he doesn't excite me anymore. He shows up when he wants too especially on the defensive side of the ball this year. He's a part of the problem to just like James. Can't have stars try when they feel like it.

    We need a coach. JB partying down with the team is great and all...but being best friends with your coach/boss does usually does not work. D-12 can still be great if there is a coach that can motivate him in the regular season.

    It is not motivation, it is Coach Harden. How can you play for a guy who has the ball 90% of the time down the stretch and usually is using all the clock to himself. If Dwight had play for the Spurs, they will win championship every year. We let our unannounced coach be his team, not our team. Just think if Hakeem had played for Harden, guess who would bow first. If you say 34, wrong. Dream would make Harden take his dream elsewhere. Dwight looks passive because Coach Harden made him to be.

    Dwight is passive because that's his mentality. He's soft and just like Harden plays when he feels like it and that's nobody's fault but Dwight. He's in control of the effort he puts in.

    Calvin said it best, if your Guards dont get you the ball...then how as a big man do you score? Now I have a feeling, Dwight is guarding his image, because after Orlando and LA....he cant smack the **** out of Harden without people around the league...stating that Dwight is this Dwight is that....

    Like pretty much all nba players, they're responsible for their own problems.
