    Herculean effort by Harden & still lose at home, even with a finally functioning crowd.

    This is an aging roster as well. We have 3 starters over 30 and 3+ bench players over 30.

    CF homers thinking we don't need the best player in the league really should think twice. Don't kid yourself.

    PG13 would be a nice consolation, but the GOAT is the goal to overthrow the Lubs.

    I'll eat my crow willingly if we win the series, don't even @ me fam.

    Top heavy roster > Deep team

    If we don't go all in on LeBron then we are basically conceding being okay with being the second best team in the league and wanting nothing more.

    Exactly and it’s been proven over and over again. Look at what Lebron is doing having to play 82 games as the best player on a weak team.

    But guyz, 6moy & benched shooter continuity >>> GOAT! We don't want that drama (as the Lebrons punch 7 straight finals, potentially 8 this year).

    Warriors would still be a better basketball team. LeBron on this team would be redundant.

    That’s BS. Everyone thought CP3 and harden would be redundant.

    As I’ve said all along, if we don’t win it this year, bring lebron here if you can.

    Series isn’t over yet.

    We need Kawhi.

    I am serious, we need Kawhi's shooting and defence.

    We are not beating this Warriors team even with Lebron, who will be a year older next year in playoffs.

    To beat this Warrior team, we need another dead eye shooter from outside and an elite wing defender.

    Either get Kawhi or get Lebron + PG.

    I assumed Kashi would not be available, but he would be an absolutely perfect fit, assuming health.

    WIN the series ?? I'm hoping we don't get swept.

    Rockets have plenty work to do to create money for LeBron. Clint is gonna get paid and Ryan's contract needs to be offed.

    LeBron would fit. He would just have to change his game a bit to fit Hardens play style. It sounds crazy but harden will have a much harder time adjusting his game. He needs the ball in his hands to be most effective.

    With Lebron, he would take over Ariza’s spot. All of those times Ariza had an open lane but couldn’t beat his man or finish at the rim, that’s a dunk for LeBron. All those times when Harden or Paul need a rest and Gordon bricks a wide open 3, Lebron will bully someone in the post. Lebron, Harden, Paul can absolutely beat the Warriors.

    sure, ill take him. but we shouldn't rely on getting lebron.

    give me tobias harris instead of ryno and we'd have 70 wins, and might have had enough to keep this game close or win.

    just having another player who is a versatile defender and scorer would be enough. if we had a guy like that to take the minutes of ryno, nene, and gerald it would be enough.

    The greatest player ever, who is quite possibly a top 3 playmaker of all time that teams up with two top ten playmakers of all time would be redundant?

    D Wade and Lebron were redundant as well, how’d that work out?

    I couldn’t take those who didn’t want Lebron seriously...same with those who didn’t even want to trade Ego for Paul George

    Like i said at the time in the Lebron rumor thread, ask this after the playoffs, no point in asking this when we're kicking the T-Pups ass...pretty sure a lot of the guys who voted "no" would change that very quickly if we don't beat Golden State. Probably even after this game.
