    Doesn't mean much being the third highest paid player on the team when 80M on 130 are on two players...the guy is getting 16M (which is btw the same money Gordon is also making) per season which isn't even half of a max contract, not sure what you expect him to do, he isn't a star and he isn't getting paid like one, complete scrubs are getting the same money or even more then him.

    You literally posted he had 12 boards, 3 blocks, 3 assists...he's shooting 60% from the court in the season and missed like two shots more then usual against a top 2 team in the league...i mean, ok.

    Mike finally broke PJ.

    We knew this day would eventually come, but here we are.

    Then again what do you expect playing a 34 year old undersized SF at PF for 35+ minutes a game

    Always thought it would be best to put PJ in a 7th man bench role.

    I mean yeah. And he's not even a CF poster. The question is who would the new coach be.

    The reason people are getting on Harden is because he's been getting these doubles for most of the year and he's never looked this bad facing them. He's not quick with his decisions, he's not aggresive enough with them, he's letting the other teams take him out of the game completely at times.

    Russ, IMO was the best player for us tonight, no, his 2nd half wasn't as good as his first but we wouldn't even been in this game without him tonight. He didn't take any dumb shots, took every shot at the rim, brought his energy, it's just not enough.

    Russ and Harden are not the issue on this team. The rest of the guys are, they are getting good shots, open lanes, and they just do nothing with them.

    A big trade is needed, Ego or Capela, I don't know, but this team needs a major shakeup.

    Your lack of rebuttal is all needed to see.

    2.5 weeks till trade deadline, I'm praying that I'm wrong about Tilman and we actually improve this team.

    It already pissed me off this morning to see Kings got two 2nd round picks + Bazemore + Tolliver for the corpse of Ariza.

    The problem with doubling LeBron, the refs would call us for anything and everything to free up LeBron...Lebron is protected, refs won't let him be doubled like Harden.

    Facts. He has to stop thinking so much and just be aggressive when the double is coming. He did that a couple times tonite and beat double and created a look or drew a foul. This cerebral sh#t gotta go.

    Defence is all about attitude and resolution, it start from star players of a team.

    I would rather we had done that. Simply because the Lakers are not a good 3pt shooting team.

    We let Lebron do what he wanted to do in that whole 2nd half... and the Lakers smartly double teamed Harden because it was their best chance of winning. This is all on MDA.
