    Also, on Harden:

    "I’m just glad I don’t have to guard him anymore, seriously. He’s just so gifted one-on-one. He has like that package. It’s that dribble between the legs, crossover package, but he has a counter to it. The defense knows it’s coming, but they can’t do nothing with it, because he just has counters, step-backs, (and) people forget he’s like 6’5, 230 (lbs.), so when he bumps you, it doesn’t look like much, but he creates space, and his vision when he drives to get past you – it’s the total package on the offensive end. He’s always been a pain to guard.”

    Is this "quote worthy" article available after every game for every team?

    Can Austin Rivers teach Eric Gordon how to have heart fun?

    Austin Rivers is the perfect fit for this team. I always thought lil b**** when I saw him, but he's actually a serviceable basketball player. His energy is needed off the bench

    He contributes on both ends of the court.

    The more two-way players the merrier.

    It would be fun for me if Rivers would steal some 3’s from Gordon.

    This is interesting for a topic. Harden is always listed at 6’5 220 officially but I swear he’s got to be at least 240 minimum IMO

    At least 230+. The guy is a tank. I doubt if he's seen the 220's since he was with Oklahoma City as a rookie. That was a good description from Rivers.

    This "horrible" brand of basketball has the #1 offense in the NBA right now. Some people just see what they want to see.

    Lol Scoonie Penn played in Italy for my hometown team like 15 years ago, and he was playing 1 on 5 all the time...
