    He's kinda right. If we get our defense right, we ain't losing.

    It definitely can be our backbone but it definitely isn’t now. We seem to be mainly out scoring teams. But they are capable of better defensively.

    Classy bunch of retirees and California refugees. Can't see Jazz fans having the grace to do the same.

    They don't have a defensive 4 with sand in his a$$, besides PJ. What do you want MDA to do? Besides try a Capela-Hart duo on the floor.

    I've watched all those guys closely over my fandom of basketball and all of them have plenty of offensive possessions off the ball and also make far quicker moves into the shot clock when they do iso.

    How many times have you seen Kobe and TMac catch a pass in the post and immediately spin around for the fadeaway shot? How many times have you seen those guys run around screens and curls and makes quick shot attempt. I think the problem that casual fans have with Harden is he spams the same dribble dribble dribble at the top of the 3 pt line for 20 seconds.

    Iverson ran around off ball like a mad man plenty of times.

    I would like to see IHart out there for some of these games. I know he was in the G-League tonight.

    Yeah, PJ needs to play fewer minutes. MDA is pressing his luck.

    for the audience to enjoy the show,silly!

    casual fans don't respect rockets, but this sentence doesn't work in reverse, in fact, exactly the opposite is the case

    LOF but your savior LIn can't even dunk

    and your hero Curry can't carry a team without KD or Klay

    toward the end of the game on the Suns broadcast. He was incredibly complimentary of Harden's game tonight (really, how could you not be?). Praised the efficiency especially.

    Didn’t get to watch, but looks like a great team win. Westbrook and Harden finding their form together.

    Over 50 percent Opp FG. Thank God the Suns couldn't shoot 3s to save their lives. Also not happy about their being outrebounded, despite Capela working like a madman in the 4th to end up with 17.

    Baby steps though.
