    Even CP3 gets his pocket picked at times.

    Harden's turnovers in the bubble and playoffs were career bests.

    I personally think MDA screwed up everything Morey was trying to do. Every year we were thinking the team was trash because MDA never tried to play to anyone's strengths except Harden.

    I was going to say that.. Harden had one of the best assists to turnover ratios in the bubble.

    Tried to watch the game on NBA League Pass, but it says I'm in a blackout area. But I live in Austin. The Spurs are supposed to be the "local" team with blackout restrictions.

    Anyone in Austin area able to watch on League Pass??

    Hardens stats in the bubble assist to turnover ratio was one of the best in the bubble. Harden is just as good as distributor of not better then wall.This is just crazy stuff now.

    Nope.

    Rockets need more size.

    Cousins, Wall and Bruno.

    That's IT.

    One injury and Rockets are on another slippery slope.

    Need insurance and another guy over 6'6 in starting 5 that can start at 4 and play 5 in a pinch.

    Has Wall ever led NBA in assists in his entire 10 year career?

    Harden was PG for a single season and led NBA in assists.

    Haven't won one with him in 8 seasons. Don't think it's going to happen unless he does a 180 and put team-first over being the scoring champion.

    Plot twist....wall plays so wall pg isn’t the goal in a harden return and instead the focus is on playmaking wings

    I mean yea if you double him the whole game then stuff like that happens but that doesnt mean he should have the ball less than Wall.

    He has his gafs I know but I think he makes enough homerun plays for that not to matter as much.

    If that were true then why was Morey so despondent to lose him.

    I understand you and many have their personal aesthetics but MDA is a legit HOFer.

    He was far from perfect but his system meshed with Morey to a "T".

    Even MDA's defense improved his last season, and when they were on, it was even more beautiful to watch than the offense.

    Just because Steve Nash was turnover prone he wasn’t as good as playmaker as wall? You see the logic?
