    Harden and Wood are a great combo. Didn't even need to see it materialized last game to know, just b/c their skillsets already fit so well.

    It's also probably the only thing that could keep Harden in Houston.

    I just think that it's insane to pay Wall 45mil to be PJ Tucker. Wall already was planning to play off the ball more because Beal has become a better playmaker so Wall has been practicing spotting up but it should never be all give and no take. You are just going to flame out in the end with both Harden and Wall falling short, Harden will want to leave, everyone will say that he has no help, and Wall will say that he literally gave me no chance to help him. He wanted me to help him by being PJ and House when I could have really taken some pressure off of him.

    Harden can be Curry also if he tried. By that I mean just the gravitational pull of Harden could make Wall kill it with the rest of the squad which would help James even more. He would either get a wide open shot or Wall will dissect the defense that is scared to death to leave James.

    James is also a great passer but it helps a ton that he can score 50. It's not easy to be a great passer when you are just a solid scorer. Alot of James assist comes because the defense sucks in so much to stop him from scoring. Wall is a true natural PG who can still find guys without that suction and pull that a 50 point scorer brings. You will see it.

    I just don't understand the fear of something slightly different when you haven't won a title before and now even the east is becoming more dangerous. If it doesn't work, you can always fall back into all Harden but Wall and Cousins were legit all stars and Wood is capable but you guys want to shun that for the same Ole results. The definition of insanity

    Wow.

    You really are a nimrod.

    Portland had their full roster, including all of their best players.

    Rockets had 8 players total. 5 of those players were new to the team and 2 were undrafted rookies.

    3 of Rockets best players were unavailable.

    This is not Rocket science man.

    I love all these idiots with their..."Harden needs to play off-ball" or "I hope he's ready to play off-ball" nonsense.

    Harden is the BEST on-ball player in the world. The only person that has an argument against him is LeBron f*cking James. You don't take the ball out of the best's hands to give it to a lesser player. Period.

    Wall better adapt and become a better off-ball player. That's all there is to it.

    Harden will be the “best on ball player in the world”without a damn ring. Man wake up.

    The definition of idiocy is thinking the way Harden plays can win you a chip...morons

    folks are truly delusional.

    Or he's gonna win a title doing it his way and make you look real stupid. NBA legend Dwyane Wade said it best...



    Do it your way, James.

    Do you have a source other good coaches only have 6 sets as the basis for all their plays? You asked for a source and I gave you a source. Cant tell me I'm wrong without a source.

    The 100 atos plays which are based on 6 sets mean they run the same plays. Its the same **** just some things changed for example in variation 1 Cp3 is throwing the ball in variation 2 Capela is throwing the ball etc. Thats why its called based on 6 sets.

    You are on the defense, not me. Your own source proved you wrong.

    One hundred ATO plays based off 6 sets. ATO's are only a fraction of an offense.

    That is NOT 6 plays for an entire offense.

    No matter what kind of math you use.

    Nah you said offenses that are based on just 6 plays is normal for any NBA offense. Show me those NBA offenses then. How do you know its normal? If you cant show thats normal then stfu on this subject.

    Why am I on the defense again? You cant be the one keeping on asking the questions wtf.

    If Harden stays, I see Wood as a 22/10 guy but I doubt Harden will be here past trade deadline.

    He'll be a 20/10 guy regardless whether Harden is here or not. Per 36 last year in Detroit is 22 and 10.

    Are you really that stupid???

    Go back and read your own idiotic posts claiming MDA only has 3 plays then stupidly raised it to 6.

    Own up, either you're fvcking illiterate or you made a dumbass mistake. It was your OWN f'ing article, did you not even read it MFer?

    Sets and plays are NOT the same thing.

    ATO's are NOT the entirety of NBA offenses.

    Holy shet, I was actually being polite and not outright calling you r****ded.

    You're welcome.

    As good as his offensive arsenal is, he isn't a real rim protector and he isn't a consistent rebounder offensively yet.

    Two things this team would urgently need.

    You would have lost 1 or 2 deflections and steals per game with the Roco trade.

    This is you = You dumb me smart Blah blah blah
    What you are really saying = I got no sources just pulling **** outta my ass

    Lolz so basically you have a lot of nerve to say stuff like "thats typical of NBA offenses nowadays" when you have no sources to go off of. What you need to do is go back and stop talking like you know something about NBA standards when you dont have any idea how many plays other coaches use. You're the one who is just assuming things left and right and you want me to own up? Gimme a break.

    I'm the one who embarrassed for assuming you had an idea to begin with.

    Wood was a great pickup even if it was at the expense of RoCo.

    Find a way to upgrade the SF and get the barbershop quartet back and in shape and this team is a contender.

    I realize Wood has a long way to go in certain areas, particularly on D, but man is he fun to watch.
