    I think I know what the majority view is here on CF, but what do you think serious basketball fans of other teams believe regarding Harden vs LeBron this year alone? And, I obviously don't mean stats so far this year, I mean in terms of ability to impact a playoff game or series.

    Not only will Zubac be unable to outplay Capela, I'll be surprised if he outplays Faried.

    Zubac shouldn't be a problem . We have Hartenstein to counter him

    Lakers could challenge any playoff team; but I think they lack one player after LeBron re-joins the team.

    I would use the inconsistent Ingram to net a better player at “Wing”


    Lakers want Melo; but don’t want to give up any guaranteed contract(s) to do it. I expect them to trade by the trading deadline to open up that roster spot.

    KCP + Ingram could bring them return piece(s) + Melo (filling empty roster spot) to possibly beat any team.

    Emphasis on “possibly”

    Edited: something like this gets them over the top.

    Perfect thread for me to talk about how upset I am at my boss today for coming in with a bad attitude.

    Hes really got to work on that because it brings down the shop morale.

    No he can’t or they can’t coz
    James Harden

    He is the one making Capela greater and he is the one causing havoc on on teams’ defense
