    Always dug Wall's court vision and passing skills. Hope he's healed.

    it's going to be so refreshing to go from westbrick to wall. I can't believe washington turned out to be that dumb

    Nice video OP. What I like about it is most of those passes aren’t flashy pocket passes (though some of those do look like skinny harden dimes). Most of those open shots he creates are just from making the right read and hitting the open guy in rhythm.

    John Wall was a really terrific playmaker. Great natural passer.

    Its also the most useless skill to possess when playing next to James Harden. Every guard that plays next to Harden has their assist number drastically cut down.

    James Harden needs to play with finishers, shooters not a bloody ball dominant guard with suspect shooting.

    Wait so Wall doesn't send the pass 4 rows deep on a fastbreak ?

    I'm mean I hope he at least likes to pass it somewhere on the court no Rocket ever has positioned themselves...

    Y'all are awesome. You find ways to get excited about every new Rockets players. Even if you have to use two year old highlights.

    Russ averaged 8 assists with Harden. Paul was 8 or 9 range. It’s not a dramatic drop off

    He led the NBA in assist in OKC.
    Westbrook went from 10.7 to 7.
    Paul went from 9.2 to 7.9

    I think Harden makes Wall better
    Wall should not be as stressed

    The season he led the league in what did that get him? Nothing bounced out in the first round.
    Paul’s 1.3 drop off is not much. It’s as dramatic as you made it out to be

    He's the best true PG we've had in years.

    Okay, best in ONE year.

    How is Harden and Wall going to be effective offensively if both of them need the ball in their hands always?

    I didn’t know blowing it up would cost us so much money!
