    The circumstances of the team are the same. Same coaching and management. The players are different. What a stupid idealistic way to look at basketball in general. Especially on the NBA level.

    He looked old and slow. Those minus plus stats are worthless. No one who watched last nights game can say he was good. The guy right now at best is the third best player. Harden is light years ahead of him and so is Clint.

    I watched last night, CP3 was cutting passing lanes when off the ball all over the place.

    He would've gotten 8 or 9 steals if they passed where they wanted to.

    When someone drove, he stepped up and cut them off, and was yelling at guys to be in good defensive position.

    Him not trying to score was due to how easy it actually is. He's coasting but he's still damn good and damn smart.

    Capela stinks and is overrated. Low-IQ block chaser on defense with no skill offensively.

    We can't add good defenders when our capspace is locked up. Our window was closed ever since we signed CP3 to that ridiculous contract.

    Just enjoy playing for 2nd until that CP3 contract runs its course in 3 more years and hope that Harden is still good enough by then to carry this team.

    What about Capela when he comes back?

    Because the capspace wasn't already essentially locked up before cp3's contract. once again play for free, according to some of these cf's who have little to no understanding of the actual situation :rolleyes:
