    People complained about Durant moving to Warriors, and ppl complain about possibility of lebron to gsw BUT everybody's forgetting about the elephant in the room, CP3's move to Houston.

    Rockets are 23-1 with Harden, Paul and Capela playing.

    It's 95% winning percentage

    Not sure if such a dominance has ever been seen in history of the association.

    whadd yall think?

    Getting another high IQ guard on this team along with Harden in this system is trouble for the league.

    48 minutes of at least one elite play maker on the court at all time has made the rest of the league obsolete.

    Now imagine 48 minutes of two elite play makers on the court at all time next year after LeBron join the Rockets!:eek:

    Uh, no. He's missed 18 out of 51 games this season and he's gonna be 33 in 3 months. His move to the Rockets is not quite the gamechanger Durant's was for the Warriors.

    The refs are trying and they are failing just like they have failed to ref like professionals all season long...

    CP3 has ruined all-time Rockets point guards... Murphy, Lucas II, Smith, Francis, etc.

    Then Harden will truly be the MVP if he can pull that off. But we probably have to price in every season about 15-20 games that CP3 misses due to injury.

    Jokes aside; while I don’t think we will land Lebron, a CP3 Harden Lebron line-up .... there will never be a playmaking line up better than that in the history of the NBA.

    Man.. I don't know.. Just watching the dominance of Harden and CP3 is making me wonder if (when healthy) they are good enough to buck the trend of the 3 star teams. Harden and CP3, as a tandem, are better than any tandem in the league.

    Take the 2 best players on any team in the NBA and I think Harden and CP3 are better than them.

    The rest I think Luc, Ariza, and Tucker can guard them.

    Maybe I need to chill out.

    Should we be worried about CP3 leaving after this season? Maybe he follows Lebron to the Lakers?

    The only combo better than Harden/CP3 tandem is a Harden/CP3/LeBron tandem.:eek:

    I agree with you. Unless the three stars provide a perfect balance of skills (for example Pierce, Garnett, and Allen), one of the Stars has to adapt, change their game, or take a backseat. That is not an easy thing to accomplish. Two stars is a much easier combination to make work.
