    Now you understand why the rotation is normally so short.

    There is no playmaking without Harden. There is no scoring without Harden. And Other than Capela, there is no rebounding without Harden.

    Rockets up 16, time to start complaining about the refs favoring the Grizz and how the entire NBA is out to get us

    Surpassed? I dont know about that. Kobe averaged 35 that yr, James is at 32 as of now....I wouldnt say he surpassed him until he scores that 60 in 3, or have 70+ game with 5+assist....Kobe played very good man defense as well, but Harden passing can offset that.....As insane as James is playing....If the game is on the line, I would still take Kobe until James proves otherwise consistent.....but its no doubt Harden's offense is the best in the league right now

    i wouldn't say that about his offense. he was playing well before he got injured. he's a mismatch on defense though, so we don't necessarily need him playing with harden unless necessary. its better to have rivers start. we want to stagger there minutes as much as possible. and both will probably finish the game. he just doesn't need to start. he can play the sixth man a la ginobli role. basically we need as much defense alongside harden and vice versa when paul is in.

    James would have about 20 assists tonight if Clint or PJ could finish some of these and-1's

    i'm only talking about the offensive side obviously, not defense. kobe was definately the overall better player. but that year kobe was also a straight up ball hog. this is the year that the lakers didn't make the playoffs, right? how many shots did he take to get that 35?

    lemme guess the media gonna overreact to that suspect foul and act like that represents every time harden gets fouled on a 3 point attempt.
