    so in you own words you're saying that Nets has a better chance at a chip with JA and complimentary players right?

    what a joke

    CP3 - Who was hated by his teammates in Clipper land - What has he won again? How far has he gotten WITHOUT HARDEN? How far has Harden gotten with CP3?
    McHale - A HORRIBLE Coach that only has a winning record because of Harden and could not be hired at a **** factory team

    cp3 wasn't hated by his teammates with the clips. He's been praised over and over by ex clips such at reddick, barnes, crawford, DJ, moute, rivers time and time again. The only "drama" was with Blake bc Blake thought he was better than who he was and hes stubborn so naturally the budding of heads took place.. And we know Blake actually isn't that good. nobody in the league cares for him nor does anyone want to play with him. And his career went crashing down once cp3 wasn't there anymore feeding him.

    Iverson is more about the myth than the man
    The Street Cred and attitude

    HE WAS A HELL OF A PLAYER
    but alot of his mystique is story
    Like TMac . .. Scowls and flexing and look

    Broke down CP3 and broke down Dwight? Howard was in his prime lol. Cp3 maybe, but he just droped 19 dimes tonight. Tell Harden to take note of a real PointGod. Why couldn't Harden get anyone that was skilled here to Houston????????????????

    Oh that's right only you nut huggers like him like that. Players don't **** with Harden, he a lame.

    LMFAO Feed me I'm hungry hmmmmm

    Harden's name could easily be slotted in there if he don't win it all. More myth than Legend. Ah the good ol' days! lol

    Back to the Harden & Nets talk:

    They are now a league leading 10-1 against teams ABOVE .500

    In the last 5 games they have a DTRG of 18th in the league. They are also contesting 91% of shots in the paint over this stretch which is 6th best in the league.

    If they can add something useful in the buyout market or are able to land a nice player with Spencers contract or the injury exception they can easily get to a 12-15th ranked D.

    The bench guys are starting to become somewhat useful. TJ has been a nice spark off the bench on the defensive end. Shamet is shooting 39% from 3 the last 10 games I believe.

    I'm not sure if Nash is listening to those around him more or what but he's also done a nice job of late with his rotations and the Nets defense.

    [Nothing is worse than Iverson stans ******** on Harden's game. Its bad enough hearing people call Iverson one of the greatest point guards ever. Snow was the point guard on Iverson's Finals team.

    Howard hasn't been in his prime since he left Orlando. His whole game built on athleticism that his back injury took away. He was probably 85% of his old self the first few years in Houston. Then he was terrible and has been terrible ever since.

    TLC does it as well. So does Jeff Green, who’s playing similarly to how he played with us. They continue the action and the ball keeps moving. So that’s Kyrie, KD, Joe Harris, Shamet, Jeff green, and TLC who continue actions on offense. It’s very apparent and Harden’s lower usage rate reflect this.

    I have one criticism of Houston Rockets Harden. That team that lost to Portland could have won a ring in that year specifically.

    Even that series Lin and Beverley failed him but Harden put the Rockets in a hole. Asik and Howard were really good individually and together that year

    Nets since Harden arrived

    -121 offensive rating
    -123 ppg
    -51/42/83 shooting splits as a team
    -28 apg

    this is with KD missing 8 of the 18 games so far, and Kyrie missing 4

    Milwaukee, the Clippers, Suns, Lakers...none of them could slow BK down

    Hmmmm.. I would say TLC basically goes for layups off the catch and shoot opportunities. Same with really Shamet and Joe Harris. I think I've seen Joe Harris used as a like a stop and pop mid range shooter a couple of times. I feel like that's the only thing that's really different. Sure Harden usage rate is lowered but that's mainly from giving the rock to Irving and Durant mainly. I would say.
