Imagine Harden in a few weeks in better condition and in full game shape. Lord have mercy on the NBA. Danny Ainge and Morey better up their offers because the days of Simmons and Brown with scraps for Harden are over
Harden in game shape, regular rotation players, better chemistry with Wood, improved defense AND another trade to improve starting 5.
imho it doesnt work that way with harden, how many times he was in a perfect shape and 'underperformed'?
I think Harden could average 40 points this year if he stays with the Rockets. Crazy, I know but if you recall he was on that pace last season until teams like the Nuggets just said F It and doubled him literally at half court. You can't do that with this roster. Now will he average 40 points? I don't know. But he's capable of doing it if he wanted to.
All we needed was EG and we would have destroyed Portland. Just gassed out in OT and obviously screwed up playing House on Portland’s last possession
Harden in game shape, regular rotation players, better chemistry with Wood, improved defense, another trade to improve starting 5, AND no strip club restrictions!
