    jvg would definitely give you D, but 83 points won’t cut it.

    The reason for that is because Wall and Harden is not a good partnership. They both need to be the main ball handler.... but especially Wall does. Harden can kinda let players take over; he did it with CP3 and Westbrook. But, Wall cannot be the second fiddle and let another played run the show. Wall has played 19 minutes has no assists. For a guy who has that amount of the ball, he should have at least a couple of assists. Wall is obviously a great player, but this Wall and Harden partnership is actually hurting us than helping us. Wall is not a big scorer to begin with, so we're missing out on a lot of points from Harden if Wall takes over.

    Our defense is even worse this year. Wood is a great scorer for a big man, but his defense is worse than Capela's. He also gets bullied way more than he did. Cousins isn't bad, but he's not a great defender. Tucker is too short. We're missing Covington so badly.

    If people think we have a chance of winning the championship, they're kidding themselves. Our defense and offense is actually worse than last year. Our main scorer has to share the ball with a player who doesn't score that much. Actually, Wall doesn't pass it that much, either. I don't know. We either have to trade Harden or Wall to get anywhere. But we can't keep Harden and Wall out on the court together. Didn't work last year and it won't work this year.

    I never said Harden shouldn't dominate, wrong guy. Share the ball yes, and play off the ball SOMETIMES yes. Not play like a little b**** moping around out there. I never asked for that.

    If you hadn't mentioned this, I was going to. Classic young player gets excited, mouths off, and helps cost us a game by doing so.

    If the fakers are so good why do they need so much help from the refs?

    Silas wants to have multiple ways to play but none of those ways seem to be effective.

    Hate to judge so early but dude seems like he is in way over his head

    Yes thats exactly what i see - Harden playing 60%. You are not beating Lakers with your best player not playing to his average

    In the Playoffs, there are definitely more players. That's also why I think he'll never win a championship. He also disrespect Kobe's name by ever claiming he has that same mental edge.

    It’s because you don’t speak with facts. You must have had a long journey back from the capital :D

    Silas had shooting in Dallas...he had multiple snipers that shot good percentages

    he has none of that here aside from Mac and PJ’s 2 or 3 shots from the corner

    Luka also dominated the offense like Harden should be doing

    Obviously John Wall put much more effort than Harden in recent games, although his shooting is not very good.
