    But that is the point.
    Having two of those. And Harden never stopped doing that even with Westbrook on the team.

    Like what I saw today with Wall (and Boogie). If Wall stays healthy, this team has some great potential. Nice to see someone that can pass and shoot again.

    Watching this makes me think Clint Capela would be great on this team lol. A healthy Wall is an upgrade over WB. He can push the pace the same way, but he plays in control and makes the right decisions

    Very possibly a sarcastic post, but anyway, thats a very 2017 question. Chris Paul showed ESPN the answer to that question. To an extent, Westbrook did too, its just that he couldn't dribble, pass, shoot or finish.

    True, what was interesting is that Wall is more WB than CP3 in terms of speed.

    CP3 was more of a slower but pace changing n controlling guard, a borderline great shooter.

    Even with an improved shot, Wall isn't expected to shoot as much.

    I just want a point guard that other teams don't dare to take a 3 pointer.

    Wall is now about as fast as CP3. Hopefully the more he plays, the speed will return. Still seems so much smarter than Westbrook.

    He is much faster but he losses touch of the ball so cant go 100%. And conditioning isnt there. Borderline is Wall looks like older brother of CP he has like 5 inches over him and lot more pounds. If he cant get by he will go through and CP cant do that

    The media is dumb. Wall is a better fit naturally than WB because he actually can pass the ball and is a better playmaker for others. He's essentially CP3, with slightly less basketball IQ, but I'll take it. WB has better stats but Wall is less selfish and a overall better teammate. The Rockets won the trade easily

    One thing I loved about last night: Walls passes hit shooters right in the midsection. This makes it so much easier for shooters to stay in rhythm...very CP3-like. Harden can do that too, but not Westbrook.

    He had a few errant throws that were due to miscommunication, but most of them were right on the money.

    I hopeful we can trust Wall to make the right decision in those last 5 minutes of a tight game. Russell and James aren't the best in those areas.
