Oh yeah...without Isiah Thomas as well. Thats true but at least we didn't lose. Unlike them losing to the Pacers with no PG,Hibbert,West,Hill. Thats embarrassing.
Harden is actually 25/6/6 and that's rounding down http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/3992/james-harden
Hence why I stated I strongly believe we are ahead of them in every regard. I was providing an alternate view point of why our ranking is so low, especially for people who just read boxscores and watch highlights (basically all those so called journalists) before mouthing off. I wouldn't be surprised if most journalists are unaware that we are even missing 3/5 of our lineup plus 2 really important role players/backups.
this season is shaping up as a replay of the championship years. from what i can remember. what will the excuse be this year - lebron is on a new team so they couldn't gel in time?
It would be nice to see us get credit, but I think the media (and especially fans) just do not like us and are going to be very cautious about giving us praise... I could understand that last year, but I think our team is hard not to love this year. We play hard and with passion, and we're no longer full of divas. I know a lot of fans think nobody likes their team, but I mean... honestly, there's so much negativity around this team and people calling our stars losers. But that's what's great about it. With how hard these guys are playing this year, I think all this lack of attention is going to just keep feeding them.
And the Thunder were sidetracked with injuries. Whatever. Pro sports media exist only to be ridiculed.
