fwiw: Those are GARM stats, only. Three threads in Hangout and two in Dish longer -- comprising Sex, Money, Music and Jeremy Lin.
Not my argument but my sentiments. Harden coming back fixes A LOT. It would dramatically fix our offense to a reasonable benchmark. Our overall fg% would likely increase because harden attacking the rim so much. He also has a drastically better connection with capela and would increase his fg% as well. Just by taking that many more shots at the rim by 2 very good finishers helps the overall offense. In response, defense do collapse leaving shooters open an extra foot or so. This would in theory lead better looks and a raise in 3fg%. It allows cp3 to go back to destroying 2nd units and lesser defenders. Keeping the offense humming all game long. It would also push Ego back into the secondary ball handling role, rather the the primary one hes had to be. Allowing him to attack weaker defenders and not having as much pressure to make things happen. Additionally, our putrid offense has a direct correlation on our poor defense. All those long defensive rebounds from our bricks leads to opposing fast breaks. Something we were bad against last year and continue to suck defensively is transition. Not to mention all the extra FT attempts that also lead to having an absolutely set defense that is rested. Just the extra buckets going in results in more set defense and an increase in defensive efficiency, even if only slightly. Harden wont fix everything, but he will fix a lot... He would take a bottom offense and make it top 10, while inadvertently making a bottom defense into an average to a below average defense which is increasing both sides of the ball.
Man @cyberx has given us a lot, as has Cod. I think we should chill for a little bit with asking them for info. On the other hand, the legend @ch44 has been quiet, where out thou brother?
JR Smith could join Lakers, where there are enough "crazy" guys - Lance, McGee, Rondo, JR .... How about Knight plus 2023 First for JR Expiring?
You should know better than that. If you log into the site and it takes a while to download, that's when you know something happened. Or a squirrel peed on the Uverse box outside your apartment.

CP3 played a portion of the 1st game of the season last year and then he missed the next 15. The Rockets still dominated. We had Harden when CP3 was out and we have CP3 now that Harden is out. That should be more than enough to AT THE LEAST look competitive in these losses. The Rockets don't even look competitive. They don't even look like they want to win. And I don't think that's up for debate. So how am I being irrational?
That pick from Miami is protected from reports. The filler is Dieon waiters who has 3yrs left on current deal.
Haha, reminds me of a web development forum I used to be on. From time to time, it would be offline and the mod explained that squirrels were chewing through his leased line.
Your trade wasn't Waiters for Gordon. It was Winslow and Waiters for Gordon and Chriss. Do you think Pat Riley is a dumbass?
Jimmy thing is part of the issue with direction with the team. Fans need to have patience. Jimmy announcement cause the organization off guard Doesn't know why Butler is out with "soreness" Not going to get perfect deal, but need best deal, must be patient Other teams starting to offer more because of losing early Thibs was caught off guard by trade request, wants Jimmy there still Layden is taking trade calls and then brings them to Taylor Thinks Thibs needs to focus on coaching the team "At some point we will pull the trigger, once we're on the same page" "Guesses" that Butler will be traded by the deadline Other teams have given lowball offers because Jimmy killed their leverage but they definitely will improve soon! [] Wants fans to feel that they are getting decent return If they don't ever reach desired value then Butler will play out his contract and leave in free agency and Wolves will land a big fish in FA with their cap space! [] Doesn't know why Butler wants to leave Says 15 teams are interested in Butler
