so you're not even sure if Harden and CP3 will work, yet you keep crying about not adding another high usage, ball dominant player in Melo to the mix...ok...
No, its not easy but it is that simple. You said you want Harden to play the same minutes as Kawhi. How's that supposed to happen if Kawhi takes off whole games and Harden doesn't? You'd need to lower Harden's minutes to 30mpg just to match Kawhi. That's not realistic. You're basically asking Harden to sit a quarter and a half of every game. Stars are resting whole games and minimizing travel now. It just has to be done. Lebron sat 6 games in 15/16 and the Cavs went 1-5. He sat 8 games in 16/17 and they went 0-8. Do you think they cared? Of course not, they were in the Eastern conference. We don't have that luxury, but there's no coach out there that will let us rest Harden and win every game like Pop does with Kawhi. So we just need to bite the bullet and rest him.
Harden's handle was looking tight, and he said he's down to his 1st 2 years in OKC playing weight...this season is going to be crazy
how about u have a little faith and confidence in your team...this defeatist attitude and constant crying about Melo as if OKC just added Lebron to their roster is weak
Damn we take Harden for granted. He has insane skills. Also glad he is back to his rookie year shape. If you watch his first season here in Htown you would how freakishly quick he was so hoping he can get back to that level
do you think its 100% Kawhi's choice/strategy to rest? its Pops decision and strategy not Kawhis Pops can afford to sit Kawhi because he has developed and confidence that the role players step up when kawhi rests Pops plays and extended rotation MDA is not like that
