    Nailed it right here.

    Just have to pray Morey wises up and realizes he has a scoring machine in Beasley on a minimum contract and as you said he really just needs 3 times as many shots and we'd get Harden level production, maybe even better.

    Also add in the fact that once we let Beasley take all the shots, Harden becomes expendable and we could probably ship his fat ass out of here and get maybe a 2nd rounder or two.

    Lol. I think a few guys on our team could make 40 pts if they took 31 shots like Harden did against the Lakers. Well, I call half of it not really attempting to shoot, but just sliding his arm under the guy guarding him, jerking up and pretending to shoot. So, regardless, what is so special about scoring 40 points in 31 attempts? Nothing. Trade the Beard and use that money to build our bigs and add a star forward.

    You're kidding right? The amount of efficient games Harden has without getting to the line is considerable. He's also a good three point shooter. He's a career 37% three point shooter, this is his poorest year from downtown and he's still going to be at 36%.

    There's nothing wrong with 44/37/86.

    LOL, I know you are being sarcastic. I really don't care. Most people do love the Beard. I just don't enjoy the way he flails the arms to draw fouls.

    I will say one thing though........this is an old post, and he has definitely gotten better at 3's and quit taking an average of 12 a game since I posted that. I will give him credit for that.

    You clearly do not watch the Rockets much if you think he just flails his arms to draw fouls.

    You clearly watch them with blinders on if you don't see it. I watch all the games and see him do it every game. You have got to be joking......hahaha
