This sounds crazy but James Harden should be the 6th man...

    1) Hopefully this thread gets deleted asap.
    2) Might possibly be the worst suggestion I've ever read on here.

    The numbers are clear: James Harden should be the 6th man over Jeremy Lin

    I agree. Harden > Lin at starting SG, starting PG, and 6th man. Clear superiority.

    That would be the best thing to do. But, since it would offend the Beard, we're just gonna be stupid and not do it.

    Looks like Parsons agrees Harden should come off the bench too

    "When he's out, we have a more balanced attack," Parsons said of Harden. "We run our sets and get the best shot available. When he's not there, we don't go one-on-one as much."

    I remember a game last year, I think it was the win against OKC,
    where Harden and Lin just took turns to be PG and it shredded OKC.

    That was a great game.

    I think that is how the Rockets should proceed.

    A 2 "real" PG attack. That's how I would do it if I was coach.

    Just googled it... This is the game I had in mind.

    I am a LOF but I disagree on this. However, one thing needs to change. Harden needs to do more PnR and set plays by moving the ball around. ISO needs to be used only to slow down the pace of game, meaning one of the least used plays. And Harded needs to stop playing PG :mad:

    Turn your best scorer, one of the best ball handlers and a willing passer into a spot up shooter. I really hope you meant "off the ball scorer" instead and it was just an oversight.

    James Harden != Steve Kerr.

    Exactly: ... Durant said. "That's what great players do. He rode them to victory. He passed the ball well, he shot the ball well."

    Personally, i don't think it's harden's fault to do iso. I noticed at clutch time, the rest of the teams are not willing to step in, they are happy to see harden to take more responsibilities.
