    Actually, I say this respectfully, Clutch was late to Harden being accountable, even here there were very few people Questioning Harden and Morey until the very end. This culture mess has been clear to any real fan since the Dwight days.

    So far, Silas is one of the very few highlights of this season, just by handling this mess

    Harden is far from the problem on this team or this organization.

    He is not even top 5 in the areas that must be fixed.

    But you keep spinning those narratives and pushing reality bending theories.

    Ted Cruz would be proud.

    Mediocre play? His shot attemtps are down. He's sharing the ball. He's shooting poorly from 3, that's it. He's still efficient from the field. Yes they were. They chose to leave because the owner is trash, we both know that. What do you mean blaming everyone else? Im telling you whats going on on the floor. Lol, yea bro, the mess we have now is way worse than anything with MDA. Im not saying not to give Silas a chance but so far he's done a bad job.

    Go ahead and use whatever sarcasm you'd like, but It's like some of y'all did not watch the playoffs the last 2 years when Harden not moving off-ball very much hurt our half-court offense.

    That's fine, he's not doing great off the ball. But you and I know that's not the reason we lost that series. Dantoni mailed it in heavily, he did bad. And we all know WHY he mailed it in. If yall want Harden to move....fine, but just know that Luka doesnt move that much either and that's who Silas constructed the offense for previously.

    It's not *the* reason we lost, but it is certainly *a* reason we lost, and it's easily correctable because it's entirely effort-based. I don't see why that's a controversial point.

    Well thats something to take up with Silas then. Harden is doing what's asked of him.

    Luka is moving and trying, just slow but it works for him.

    His usage rate on ball is pretty high though. He doesnt generate that much off ball to be honest.

    LOL

    That is a ton of love (and excuses) for Luka.

    Luka moves as much as James when he’s off the ball. The thing is Luka is very rarely off the damn ball. Harden should very rarely be off the damn ball too.

    That is one aspect he is lacking but as you know they do not intend to do other things but play pick n roll and shoot their way into a game.

    The ball movement was from one corner to the other corner mostly.

    If Porz is back, then he'd have handoffs with the guards.

    They were just better at putting the ball in the basket, balanced scoring outside of high usage Luka.

    I mean...they are better than us currently and had a really good offense last year. Is Luka not moving off ball why they last year?
