    I think he's been hurt though, hopefully he can play in the preseason so we can see if he's gotten any better.

    Harden looks slow footed. He doesn't have that pep and quickness that he had last season. He's doing 20 dribble moves to no avail and then heaves a shot that doesn't look smooth.

    Is this how we’re goin to use Melo? I’d love me to see him get more opportunities with the ball in his hand. Let him try to be Melo the star and not Melo the role player all the time. Have we brought the ball up and just passed it to him in the half court

    I know we're losing but it seems like the Pacers are leaving everything on the court while our stars giving the young/new guys some opportunities. Really liked what I saw from MCW, Hartenstein, Chriss and Ennis. Melo has also been solid.

    He either

    A. Has dead legs from camp

    B. Is taking it easy

    C. Some combination of a and b

    James has a massive mandate this year , the regular season is a marathon and he will need to have lots in the tank for the playoffs .

    It makes sense to take things slow and steady in the pre season .

    Every year people question James' athleticism . Cmon' son

    the rockets have been fine offensively.

    it's just the defense thats been suspect.

    hopefully that changes when pj thicc gets back.

    Nope. I didn't question it all last season because I could visually see how he leaned down. He gained some of his weight back and it shows. I hope he can trim down within a month. It's possible.

    If Hartenstien's 3 pointer remains an asset in the regular season, I see MCW's minutes increasing dramatically. There's a place in the rotation for him, but he needs 4 shooters around him to keep the offense from grinding to a halt.

    No it doesn’t. She’s just not overly attractive. She has no attractive features that standouts. Maybe my standards are just higher.
