    Wrong.

    Harden will never get better on D and can never be your best guy.

    McHale will NEVER coach a champion.

    So on and so forth...

    Clutchfans, where small sample sizes of inexperienced players and coaches is all you need to project entire careers.

    How the hell do you let Singler get a free path to the rim Parsons? His defense is laughably overrated.

    It's not that he's not himself. This is what he is. The guy just isn't that good.

    Hmmm I didn't know shooting less than 40% and 12 ppg is torching. Many PGs did torch Lin last season but Jennings was not one of them.

    Dwight is worth every penny. He is getting better each game.

    Howard needs to play all 48 minutes tonight for us to win.

    I dont agree. He is pretty good for his age. Usually these guys pick up in their 2-3 season.

    Holy ****! Dwight has been incredible this entire month. 14 points already in the 1st quarter.

    Nice bucket by Greg Smith...kid must have paid attention to last night. When the post is fronted the second big has to go to the elbow. Smith got the bucket, but a pass to Howard was also possible.

    dwight is for real. His FT shooting and post up has improved dramatically. I am very impressed.

    we all are seeing this and couldn't be happier... Harden is the one that needs to man up and be that 2-Guard that everyone is expecting him to be! He needs to want it and be totally locked in, Dwight is

    Trying to do too much, tbh I dont know what it is. A couple of games on the bench and I'm sure he'll be ok.

    maybe I'm a dummy, but I still think TT can work. Just look how Greg Smith works with Dwight. Greg has no shot but its not like it is affecting the offense.

    Jones isn't starting caliber yet despite his improvement.

    His man to man D sucks, he can't rebound at all, he overvalues his ball handling ability and he has no post game.

    I'd start Smith for now. He offers toughness, defense, rebounding and he's a solid scorer down low.

    Earlier in the season when his percentage on post-ups was low, the reps he got were worth it.

    Defenses will start adjusting with double-teams off the touch or dribble. He will fumble and bumble at first but he needs the reps on those situations too. By the time the playoffs start, Dwight should be ready.

    We're moving the ball and Dwight doing his thing well without Harden. Move Harden to the second unit and Jeremy to the third? ;)
