    **** the rest! Our two superstars need to light a fire under each others asses and go on a tear this upcoming season. They need to become leaders and make all the young guys play harder.

    LOL at those complaining about the offense. How about a little defense!

    If Harden would mature just a little we would be in perfect shape. The dude is talented, just needs to work on his attitude and defense.

    It's true though this is only their second year together. I still just think we need at least a third supporter regardless of superstar status or not. Just a third go to guy on the offense side perhaps defense to. We should flip asik for a of unless were already tied to the trade

    Also, if we match Parsons, that dude has to BRING IT and I think he will. I don't see him as the type that will put it on cruise control just because he's been paid.

    Morey is here to rally the troops.

    I think a light went off for Dwight in the playoffs.

    I think we will see full Orlando Dwight this year.

    You can find 100 guys at the Y's gym that will play harder than everyone on that team. It inevitably goes back to talent and it's hard to imagine how this team will end up better than last years without Asik and possibly Parsons.

    It's funny, I almost forgot we had those guys but in all honesty: we will not win a championship with two guys who cannot lead, are both not 100% into it mentally, do not have the mentality of winners or the willingness to do everything to win it.

    So Morey gave Harden and Howard max contracts when he just could have went to the Y and found someone :confused: Fire him:mad:

    I just can't get over the fact that we've had some very good head coaches in this city and McHale is thought of so highly. Change the players ever year but keep him... Coaching is very important. It's not just about talent. It's rare that talent can win without good coaching. LeBron is probably one of the few exceptions. Jordan, Kobe, Shaq couldn't win without good coaching but we're supposed to expect that Harden and Howard can, and call them YMCA players when they can't.

    But don't worry. They both can opt out in two years. I don't know about Harden _ but Howard may be on his way to join Phil and Melo if the Rockets don't have it together by then.

    Harden/Howard pick 'n roll for 36 minutes a game. Nobody can stop it.
