    True story -- I've met more Spurs/Mavs/GSW fans in Houston than Rockets fans.

    Also true story, I've met more Rockets fans in Austin than in Houston.

    Honestly the only player currently on this team that can be a vital component on a solid playoffs run team is Wood. No player in his prime like Harden will look at this roster and would say yeah what a great collection of winners and talent.

    Nets fans are loving Harden.

    For good reason, those franchise records are just tip of iceberg, when Harden starts breaking NBA historical records Nets fans will stroke out.

    All the Nets need to be is in the 15 to 12th range on defense and with that much offensive firepower they will just overwhelm teams. Their sheer firepower is scary.

    They don’t need to be world beaters just adequate and they are going to win it

    The magic number for defensive ranking per Moreyball analytics is 10th.

    But with Nets crazy offensive numbers, beyond anything ever seen before, top 15th may be enough.

    There hasn’t been offensive trio this gifted ever. They don’t need to be top 10 just adequate enough so the offense will do the rest. There doing this without Durant

    That is the mind blowing part.

    This Harden led Nets team is averaging 120+ WITHOUT Durant.

    Harden does what he does best and carries during the regular season, but unlike the years with u s he has a loaded offensive team to help him out in playoffs. I really think he's gonna win one this year unless a major upset happens.
