I'm 50/50 on predicting what this season will turn out. I think the acquisition of Ariza do us better minus the distractions of Asik and Parsons and the inconsistent lin But with Mchale assume the worst.
one-on-one defense and post defense was never harden's issues. team defensive awareness and effort in team D are things that are holding him back defensively.

It is fascinating to me how down people are on Harden coming off a great year last year. He is an elite offensive player who needs to work on his defense. Curry is universally loved but is a **** defender in his own right and has been worse then Harden every single season.
13 points and great d. Him and durant make it look easy, They never play to fast. Their in a different tier offensively than everyone else on the court. Glad he's on our team.
That's called playing quick, but not in a hurry. And they both look damned good. I'd say Rose is looking to be in that tier as well though.
Don't drink the Kool-Aid. Rose made two semi transition layups due to bad rotations by Cousins. The other basket was a broken play. His issues are going to be decision-making and shooting.=, two things he has never been very good at his entire career. I have seen nothing that shows me has improved, even in this relaxed environment.
I like plumlee I would love to have him as a back up center. Id pay him 6 mil a yr for that. Although seeing as he's at team USA he's prob gonna get closer to 12. He's really athletic and can run the floor. I wish dmo could take some notes.
