Good boy. Al Horford said that he's in if Durant stays, so they've started to seek moves to clear enough cap space after Ibaka trade and that was revealed later as a initial Thunder plan: building a core of Adams - Horford - Durant - Oladipo and Westbrook. See you next time

That was one of the things that was hurtful to him and he couldn't understand it," Terry said in the interview. But I said 'Dwight, sometime in your career, you are going to have to decide do you want to become a champion? If becoming a champion means set more screens roll harder to the basket, run the floor more, that's what you have to do. "You can't worry about if I'm getting touches in the post. It doesn't matter. It's whatever your team needs you to do on that particular night to win. Terry added, "Morey didn't say we're not going to give you the ball, we're just not going to give it to you in the post, because that's not our style of play." # never forget # real locker room cancer
He's not a Dwight fanboy, He's a Tracy McGrady Only Fan, the original TOF The reason he hates Harden is obvious, he's jealous that McGrady NEVER accomplished as much as Harden.
T-mac sucks, was even more of a loser than CP3 is, never went anywhere as the main guy, perennial playoff 1st round knock-out. Oh, I guess he was a cancer too in Orlando since T-mac wasted his prime mostly playing with scrubs.
The ESPN guy just posted a poll on his twitter regarding Harden vs Westbrook, and 71% of people chose Harden over WB (2,631 votes as of now.)
A small message for those who doesn't know how this business is run. There is no credit to any local official media in a hard tough-nosed situations, because they are always going to publish a things from a team standpoint and team benefit Reality: Corey Brewer is horrible Fan: Brewer sucks ass Feigen or any official local journalist: Corey Brewer is in a bit of struggle, but he's working hard to get better and coaching staff praises a ton of other things from him Clutch: Corey Brewer is playing horrible If Feigen could post the things that Clutch can, Brewer would withdraw from any interview with him on any given night and I'm not even talking about violating a contract rules with the Rockets PR department by JF. Deal with it. There is no need to post any local newspaper takes on critical situations. It's delusional. I bet that local New Orleans press isn't busting Demps ass for signing Solomon Hill to his contract while they should do it every night not depending on a result of any Pelicans game. Use some Woj, for example.
Can you imagine Harden with Yao Ming? That's like 2 Hall of Famers, I'm quite certain Harden is a Hall of Famer.
Despite Harden's great start to the season, don't be surprised when NBA ALL STAR balloting starts and the 1st returns have Curry/Westbrook as the guard leaders. Harden really needs to pass Westbrook in the NBA Fan Popularity contest. Winning against OKC tonight would be a nice start.
Ok...who got the statistics of harden playing the night after going to the strip club and playing the night without going to strip club.
This performance will not sit well with the media . It's cool , continue to let James fly under the radar and be disrespected . Outside of an off shooting night there is no stopping James this season . Also he was getting hacked tonight with no call . Lots of body contact and very little to show for it .
Neither Westbrook nor Harden will actually win MVP if the season ended today. Both teams need to improve a ton, and likely supplant either Golden State or San Antonio in the West.
Harden isn't even even in the top 5 in FT attempts or usage rate. The usual claims of him being a ball stopped and living at the line aren't showin this season
more media conspiracy https://theringer.com/james-harden-has-great-chemistry-with-the-blazers-8ac496e7c7ce#.y8yh3c4g4 James Harden Has Great Chemistry With the Blazers In a young season brimming with more unsustainable stat lines than late-period capitalism, James Harden and Mike D’Antoni have emerged as the most iconic duo since Ben Franklin and Poor Richard Saunders. On Thursday night, Harden dragged Blazers defenders out behind the barn and beat their ass with the entire farm, scoring 26 points and adding 14 assists and 12 rebounds in a 126–109 Houston victory. We think of chemistry as something that occurs in a closed system between teammates and coaches. Harden, D’Antoni, and the Blazers proved that antagonists can have chemistry too. Harden is a bizarro superstar. He’s a good-not-great shooter; a solid-not-special athlete. His right hand exists to make defenders forget he’s left-handed. He’s great at slowing down instead of speeding up. And he ignores defense with an apathy bordering on German philosophy. Harden’s whole game is two degrees west of familiar and that’s what makes him so effective. In D’Antoni, Harden has the priest willing to absolve him of all guilt. As the primary ball handler in D’Antoni’s Seven Seconds spread offense, Harden is scoring 1.02 points per possession, per Synergy. That’s really good. He’s leading the league in assist rate (59.2) and his usage rate is just north of 30 percent. Add those two rates together, and the number of plays that James doesn’t impact while on the court shrinks to the theoretical. The Blazers were uniquely equipped to help Harden get his freak on. Portland is one of the worst teams in the league at defending the ball handler on the pick-and-roll, giving up baskets at a nearly point-per-possession clip, per Synergy. C.J. McCollum and Dame Lillard aren’t stoppers. Evan Turner is shooting 36.6 percent, defends up like he’s swimming against a riptide, and is a cumulative minus-129 (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) on the season. Evan … EVAN … YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE. You might as well have put a lit cigarette to a gas-soaked pile of newspapers. Against Portland’s slow-to-react defense, Harden drilled 3s, worked his typical free throw line arbitrage, and hit teammates with passes so seductive they were practically bribes (Clint Capela, call your accountant). King James II reigns supreme (for tonight).
