    Howard hasn't worked out for a couple teams - it's who he is. That is fine. We will move on as other teams have moved on.

    Can't wait for playoff Dwight - you know - where he seemingly earns his 20+ million salary. Only issue this time - does he pay it back if we miss the playoffs?

    Your posts give me a headache, lol. Not everyone has a Harden. Not only that but the fact that you want a guy gone who just had 16 assists on a bum leg is very stupid. The fact that you that it's stupid concerns me, lol. You realize that Harden doesn't have to be our only star right? The plan is to get others. So why would we just give one away when the goal is to get as many stars as possible. You want to give away the only one we've got? You think this is a bad season for him and he's still a top 5 -10 player, I need you to think about that for a second.

    Harden only 3rd best player in the 2015 playoffs. Can it be more embarrassing? Why don't we have two other guys who were better than him? It should be so easy to get them, right?

    Texans made the playoffs without a QB and then got blown out in the playoffs. They finally had an epiphany and made an upgrade at the QB position as we know.
    Rockets don't have a 1st string point guard trying to make the playoffs if they're lucky or better yet, unlucky to run into a buzzsaw like the Warriors or Spurs most likely...barring a miracle they'll most likely get blown off the court also. Right now playoffs look bleak we shall see.

    Having said all this..maybe they'll FINALLY get a true PG this offseason that can compliment Harden and the rest of the team chemistry wise. That can do more than spot shoot 3's and can create his own shot. Right now teams easily double/triple team Harden because Beverly isn't a threat outside of his spot up 3's which are a 50/50 proposition that he even makes the shot. Teams are willing to live with that low risk. Beverly didn't do squat tonight and it showed up in the loss. He's a 2nd string point guard that puts more pressure not only on Harden but the entire 1st string unit due to his lack of skills. He's a houndog and a perfect 2nd string PG just not a starter in my opinion. It EXPOSES everyone's weaknesses even more so when things go haywire when he's on the court. He doesn't make the team better...not his fault as much as the number of players on our team that play MECHANICAL like they're robots..no flexibility in their game hardly. Beasley/Harden only shot creators on this team. Hopefully they can rectify this coaching problem as well as this PG problem like the Texans just did at their QB position.

    I really Don't think they really need a superstar PG but just a true point guard that can do more than just stand around waiting to shoot a 3. That's not a true threat.

    Even if Chris Paul somehow became the starting PG, Harden would find a way to alienate him and Paul would have to come off the bench when Harden wasn't on the court. It's that bad. Beverly is more or less a second defensive off guard that can hit the 3 occasionally.

    I can't help but notice this isn't being talked about. But I guess it's not worth talking about unless it's a negative thought about James. I mean it is all his fault.

    Right. Chris Paul is such a good player that he never advanced beyond the 2nd round in the playoffs. He never chokes in important playoff games like in 2014 against OKC.

    You think the guy who is averaging 9.5 assists this month is alienating people??

    Yeah, that Brandon Roy who never once advance beyond 1st round in the playoffs. Clearly, healthy Brandon Roy > Jordan. Sorry.

    I'm sure we either beat Toronto to end our 3 game losing streak or beat the Pacers to avoid losing 5 straight.

    This team is a joke. We suck. Blow it up.

    Dmo was a joke in the 3rd quarter.

    Wow...no way. CP3 would be the Alpha dog in that scenario and I think Harden,Beasley,CP3 would make that work being all shot creators. You could forget trying to Double team Harden and getting away with it like teams can do right now.

    Now that you bring up Beasley. This dude was a high draft lotto pick. Why did it take him 8 years to start getting serious about his basketball career? He's a legit 6'8 at best but his athletic ability and prowess combined with that size should easily have him a better career than Rose. Did he over do it on the weed and waste his talent big time? I mean come on. He could easily have taken over on that Heat team when Lebron was sitting down. He's also built like Lebron which is ****ing unique.
