    Agreed. Plus, our current stretch 4s who can't shoot are pretty useless.

    Just being a weak power forward does not automatically mean you are an effective "stretch 4".

    Harden is averaging 1point less than Carmelo but over 3 assists more

    random tidbit

    Pure defensive move. I like it. Wondering if the pace will slow down w/ Smith starting

    got to get your acronyms correct.

    Not a LOH, but a LOFH.

    Carmelo is every bit the selfish heroball addict people try to build a caricature of Harden into.
    If James wasn't so willing to dish it, he'd average even more points a game.

    As long as D-"Lunch Money Victim"-Mo doesn't find his way back into the starting lineup.

    You sound like he is a good coach that understand his players strength and weakness.

    Exactly. Unless you can score as well as prime Nowitzki, F*** the stretch 4.

    I was trying to make a joke using his username. Guess it wasn't a good one since you didn't catch it

    I think it is just clear now that Harden doesn't listen to the coaches.

    He's all about himself and he's just saying what anyone would say when asked.

    The truth is, he's going to get his stats one way or another and he just say he's going to pass the ball but in the actual game he won't. The coaches can't do anything about it either because Morey wants Harden to get his stats to make him look good and look like a superstar.

    I think you are right about him hating Omer. I've seen him screaming at him one time because he fumbled the ball. Yet no one screams at Harden when he turns it over and doesn't pass the ball to the PG.

    Yep.....

    Great the stat padder and team cancer is back. I guarantee you if he didn't make shots he would be useless. He's just lucky his shots go in otherwise he wouldn't even be in the NBA. Glad to see that the real SG of this team James Anderson finally got some minutes though.

    The ballhogging Harden thinks he is PG again.

    How hard is it to share the ball more, but not be the PG? Also how hard is it to focus on being the SG and scoring but not running plays, whiles at the same time taking less shots so others can shoot more?

    To watch ball completely stops with Harden holding it for 5 seconds is one of the most painful scene to see in Rockets.

    I agree and sometimes he even get lucky with ISO play where basket move closer due to voodoo.

    Good lord, the beard talking about "PG" responsibilities. Does he not understand that he is not very good at the point?
