    Harden moves more like an almost perfect algorythm. If he sees condition A he does X, when condition changes to B he does Y counter. When he gets tired his play gets kind of a little predictable. Chris is just so good he manipulates defenses to a masterful degree. He always have a plan because of his hof-coach basketball knowledge, but then he also one of the all time best to anticipate&improvise and does it smart. I really believe that if Chris was taller he would be the goat

    That is beautiful. We need a team that has love for each other.

    100% agree. I've said this in water cooler talk with friends. Hes smarter and more skilled than LBJ, just half the size...

    As I said - he's just too small for being a goat. His body can't take that much of a beating from bigger guys, when he was playing he was almost always phenomenal in playoffs.

    Yes, we need him, but that doesn't mean we need him taking 10 contested off-the-dribble 3-pointers a game.

    Correct.

    It's important to remember, however, that Harden helped to elevate Paul's game just as much as Paul elevate Harden's game. This team needs BOTH, not one or the other, to take them to a title. If either one of them could lead a team there by themselves then the Rockets and the Clippers would have recent championships.

    yes you need both. harden said the same thing walking back to the locker room after a win saying they were missing cp3 earlier this season.

    that's what basically my post was saying. Let Harden do his thing and when he starts to get tired/predictable let Chris take over and finish games

    i dont think that's the way. it needs to just be fluid and within the game flow. that's what he and harden did a year ago. its not about waiting for one or the other to get tired/predictable. they're both good enough to take over games and they can do it together no matter what point of the game is. the unselfish attitude of both and willingness to sacrifice allows it to work. What we dont want happening is just guys constantly watching without any production coming from anywhere on the floor

    Dont forget house.

    Like i said this team will have more talent then last years. Called it the minute we moved the fat ennis, knight, mcw, clark(not because he bad just because this year he need more seasoning..inlike him just not for this year) n replaces it with Faried Austin house shump n fingers crossed a 7 foot back up big(lopez has been my take forever) I would take this team over last. I been tell people all year relax. When u have cp3 harden n clint at ur core. U can figure the rest out. Never was worried especially since I saw it was just a bunch of injuries n roster turnover
