    Harden didn't invent the step back

    Pretty good considering they lost 2 starters right before this game.

    Both BT and Spalding put up double doubles last game.

    Vipers could not hold on to the W.

    119-115 Mad Ants

    KJ with 30 pts, 11 trb double double + 3 blk

    Porter with 27 pts, 8 ast, 2 stl

    No other Viper with more than 15.

    To even think Harden invented it lol. Its only possible because theres no handcheck and he can dribble without getting bodied/forced to make play

    KPJ had a rough day from 3, and the Vipers got killed on the boards. However, it's clear both he and KMart should see heavy minutes after the trade deadline.

    They were fine until the 4th.

    Then tired legs contributed to missed shots and rebounding.

    Yep, not a huge fan on the coach.

    He doesn’t get to the rim quite as effortlessly as Harden, and the 3 wasn’t falling today.

    Still, it’s intriguing watching him. Basically a carbon copy of Harden. He’s much better at setting up other guys than I expected. The 2 man game with KJM was really good, and I’d expect KPJ to shine in the PnR with Wood.

    Do you think we'll see KPJ starting next to John Wall after Oladipo is moved? I think he's got the potential to average 20 points in the league right now.

    I wonder how he compares to Harden in his rookie season.

    I think he’s a free agent who the G-League will assign to a team. If so, the Vipers could always TRADE for his rights. Happens all the time in the G-League.
