    We lost insane number of close games last season and the number is piling up slowly this year. Until we have a go to shot or a player who can consistently get off decent percentage shots under close game situation, we are not contending. This problem of ours will be magnified ten fold in the playoffs

    LMA will be fit perfectly w/ Rockets and fulfill the biggest void in our offensive. Our option #1 can't step up under close game situation. Harden is fools gold in offense until he can develop his mid-range jumper.

    Didn`t LMA say "We are gonna get the 7th seed, mark my words..." - I´d say he is about right.

    Harden has been a top 5 iso player for the last two years, better than LMA, so I have no idea what you're talking about.

    Are you actually saying that we should iso Harden more under close game situation? Harden can't even get off decent shots when defense is keyed in on his iso's.

    You really have no idea what you are talking about.

    Exactly. It wasn't defensible when it was Brandon Roy with LMA.
