    Harden is playing pretty well, Capela is playing damn well, Tuckers doing well, Ennis has done okay.

    Paul and Gordon are...disappointing.

    The rest of the team is ...almost entirely made up of wasted roster spaces. Green, Melo, MCW, Hart, Qi, Clark, Nene, Edwards, House is just a big bag of NUNTIN for this team at the moment. (We have to wait to see what Knight will do)

    We essentially have 6 rotation-worthy players, we've had injuries, we've had suspension, and 2 of those players (our 2nd and 3rd offensive options) are kind of ******** the bed.

    About right . Paul and Gordon need to be better .

    Of the "empty space"; Green , Clark , and hartenstein have the ability to be adequate role players . They just aren't consistent . It's not ideal , but they've had some positive contributions to our season ( and some bad play as well ) . To your earlier point , it wouldn't seem as bad if Gordon wasn't ******** the bed and Paul was playing up to par . Of course injuries hurt too .

    It's tough to tell where we would be if Gordon and Paul were at their usual level . Generally when they play well we win in blowouts . Has Paul really lost a step or is this just some abnormal inconsistency? Is Gordon capable of playing well for more than 3 games at a time ?

    Nene and house are part of the "empty space".... I don't think their chances of contributing are great , but house can shoot and sometimes that's enough ... it definitely is in the regular season to help you stay afloat .

    Knight will be a key . By that I don't mean that it's key that he play well . It's just either he will play well and he will fix a lot of our guard depth problems and CP3 and James will have freedom to rest and the team won't go 0-x . Or we will trade him along with picks for a piece that can help us fill some role .

    It's frustrating, but we are in a holding pattern right now . We've just got to stay healthy and try to gain some consistency. The good news is that if Paul is healthy he's almost guaranteed to find consistency. The bad news is that's a big IF . Gordon I have less hope for ; but hey ... Paul alone is enough to stabilize us during the regular season . Gordon can wait until the playoffs to go nuclear

    The inconsistent calling of it
    Harden does not get half the calls he should

    and we seem to be getting some really ticky tack ones
    esp during rebounding

    I do believe Steph Curry has 2 MVPs and some championships . .. . and don't even TRY to say he plays good defenses

    The Warriors have been defensively elite throughout their dominant years. If Curry was so bad, they wouldn't be so elite on that end (at least when it matters).
