    bruh, stop it, hes declining

    hes not as aggressive as he usually is, he doesn't have that bounce on his step backs, he can hardly get past defenders

    trust me, I hope I'm wrong and you're right, but I know what I see with my own 2 eyes

    Defended by Timberwolves best defender Josh Okogie for most part and still putting up 37.

    Not bad for declining player.

    I will take it.

    just because hes declining doesn't mean he cant have games like this

    he has clearly lost a step, but he is still skilled enough to put up 30 plus when hes on

    You're not paying attention to his motions when he scores today, his points are harder to come by now

    again, he is still skilled enough to get there but hes far off from being as consistent as before

    Or he could just have declined a little bit. He can still make shots as you outlined it.........

    I think he is more inclined to give in, give up when things do not go his way.

    More so in the regular seasons which do not matter in the bigger picture.

    I think that is more dangerous than any physical deteriorations......for the time being.

    At least got the win...still upset that MDA cannot bear it to play more than 8 guys regular minutes. If I were Thabo I’d be pissed.

    For all of you that knew the usher Harold Taylor, I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure there's a few on here that knew him because he was an usher for 15 years.

    I'm fine with the team as it is. This team is good enough to win it all this year. So, I don't believe we need more players (unless Luc is back to being the player he was bc he fits this system).

    To answer your question (best perimeter defenders):

    EGo, RoCo, Westbrook, Run DMC, and maybe Thabo

    You can't just run all perimeter guys out there or all interior defenders though. I'm curious about the best set of defensive guys, but I'd have to guess that it's about where you put your five out there. One thing I pay attention to is where Harden and Westbrook play within the sets. When I see Harden out on players that are attacking from the wing.. I worry. With Westbrook, I worry about anybody that gets by him because if he cuts off the three and they get by him... no bueno. Harden on the outside is a worry too. Harden guarding a big in post... money. Westbrook keeping a guy in front of him... money.

    To me... Harden is the point guard on offensive halfcourt sets and center on defensive halfcourt sets. Westbrook is our center on offense and center in defensive transition.

    I'm watching the game again with the Timberwolves broadcast. They seem like a good crew. Worth watching for my fellow league pass users (who like the Rockets and are tired of the league hate[they're really actually fair thus far])!

    The first half was a little troubling but a good team win.

    lol harden was averaging 50 points start of the season now he’s declining cuz of 3-4 bad games?.

    you do realize players can not feel good?, sore, tired, zoned out, slightly injured. they are human as well

    This team is pretty pathetic right now lol. Glad they won, but this what it must feel like to Knicks fans when they get a rare win.
