Howard > Bynum. Nash > Fisher. Antawn Jamison > Odom. Team is obviously better than 2010. But yes, Defence will be key for them. LA Lakers will make a deep run and may win the whole thing if they get there. That team is ridiculously good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnfjY_CLDoY damn right it looks good
Howard injured, Nash's role reduced to pretty much Fisher with Kobe handling the ball often, Odom > Jamison, Phil Jackson >>>>>>>> D' Antoni.
Go look at the stats. Kobe has a terrible percentage when it comes to game winning shots this season. Kobe Bryant 36 115 31.3 are his numbers for shots when the game is within two points and less than 24 seconds
show me otherwise, and I will shut my pie hole...don't call me a troll without evidence. As mentioned, i will shutup if you can prove it, because I can prove that he turns the ball over in the fourth all the time. (due to his handles). Harden and Delfino are terribad at handling the ball.
Nah I'll take Odom during his years in LA. Better rebounder and defender, that's what you want from your PF.
Article from the NBA.com homepage http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2013/03/27/blogtable-a-dream-first-round-match/?ls=iref:nbahpt6b What’s a first-round matchup you’d like to see? Fran Blinebury: Thunder vs. Rockets. Revenge of the Beard. Hangin’ it on Harden. Slammin’ it at Sam (Presti). OK can you C me now? Hey K-Mart, there’s a mess on Aisle 4. Need I go on? I can’t ever remember a player as young and as good and as critical as James Harden being bounced off a Finals team and getting a chance to stick it in the ear of the bouncers just a few months later in the playoffs. This would be simply delicious. Jeff Caplan: Out here in the Western Conference, where there’s actually more than one team of intrigue, there’s several would-be matchups to ponder. However, one in position to launch right now is James Harden against his old mates: Rockets vs. Thunder. Houston is 1-2 against OKC this season, but both losses, coming by a combined 52 points, were in 2012 when the team was still new and adjusting, and coach Kevin McHale spent a month away on personal leave after the death of his daughter. In 2013, the high-powered Rockets are 1-0 against the Thunder with a 122-119 victory in Houston on Feb. 20. Harden has averaged 29.3 points against his former team, has shot 55.0 percent from 3-point range and has averaged 12.3 free throws in the three meetings. Imagine the pressure on the reigning champs and Harden-replacement Kevin Martin against The Beloved Beard and a Rockets squad that has swapped the top spot with OKC all season as the highest scoring team in the league.
Quick grammar correction its DON'T. Anyways, now Harden does have a lot of proving to do to surpass Kobe and Wade as the best shooting guard in the NBA. But this will happen, its inevitable. Kobe and Wade are both still great players but are getting old and obviously past their prime. Harden is leading this team into the playoffs when this team was suppose to be competing for the overall #1 draft pick this season. Harden has just started and all signs point UP. This is the first team he has been the leader of and he is doing a great job. His defense needs to get better but overall he has still been amazing.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, damn that's the funniest thing I've seen since Dave Chappelle.
You're not realizing that people aren't comparing Kobe and Harden's careers.. obviously Kobe has been the better player. But we're discussing who's the better player right now
Yeap, Kobe is the best and it shows because he's leading his team that is full of future Hall OF Fame players straight to the coveted 8th spot in the playoffs. MVP...
