    No that tells me Tilman is cheap as ****. House was starting for a playoff bound NBA team. He wanted more than the G-league minimum contract. And he deserved it too. Tilman was penny pinching what? 2 or 3 million a year for a starting caliber player.

    That's what people are not getting on this forum.

    Put decent to good spot-up shooters around Harden and we'd be a much better team for it. We really ****ed it up by bringing Westbrook in. It didn't work then and it won't work now..... because I feel Wall and Westbrook are pretty similar players. Also, Harden is a rhythm player. When he's hot, he can score 50 plus points pretty comfortably. Take the ball out of his hands for around 5 minutes and it stops him from getting hot.

    Wall is a great player and all, but this partnership will not work.

    Agree about Wall. 3 maybe 4 times he drove to the basket instead of moving the ball or kicking out to an open shooter. One glaring instance on a Wall drive Gordon was open for a 3 where he likes the ball and Wall ends up turning it over. Couple of times I expected Wall to pass to Harden and instead he drives to the basket. Needs to work on that and some other things. Harden had a poor shooting night, but I wouldn’t lay this loss at his feet. It was a collective effort . . . by the refs, with Goobler leading the charge. Outrageous. So was our shot from downtown.

    I could care less what Kobe thinks (RIP) that system was literally a CP3 hammy from a winning a title. The following year CP3 was just unhealthy. Had he been healthy that season goes completely different.

    well that's because that locker room might be fractured after the rockets beat them twice in a row and multiple players fathers were on twitter calling for trades.

    I edited my post.

    He endangered the team in the bubble and tried to ruin Tyson Chandler's family harmony.

    They were down by 18 in the 3rd because Harden's unit messed up the momentum Wall/Boogie's unit gave us in the 2nd quarter. The starters got it down to 12. Wall goes out. Harden/Tate/Tucker get it down to 7. Then Wall's unit in the 4th got it down to 2.

    What am I missing. The +/- literally tells that story

    apparently Bagley's father is just like Lavar without the platform.

    Thats fair. He ****ed up. No question. But we dont pay him because of his intelligence. We pay him because he is an athletic forward that can shoot the basketball.

    Yeah Shaq calls harden Mr. dribble dribble dribble.

    And has had said plenty of times when we faced the warriors that we wouldn’t beat the warriors playing iso ball and they played team ball.

    I know we came close but just couldn’t get passed one of the best teams ever.

    Sure, he'd continue to get paid.

    I just dislike him.

    If he didn't say anything to the official, Thats an abuse of power. A shrug shouldn't be a tech-able offense.

    That good five out lineup where we switch everything did have a good amount of minutes till the third quarter. Wall and Cousins were also playing against the bench without Donic on the floor. That is what plus minus is not telling you.
