    You are trying too to bash Anderson, and am talking about the offensive system as a whole. It's like you're so depressed about losing in six to the Spurs that you are blaming everything and anything. The offensive system, Harden and the shooters is what got us there. Is it a magic recipe to get to the finals, no.

    But you're not gong to convince me that OKC and SAS found some silver bullet defense or they didn't even guard Ryno differently than Ariza....that's hogwash wrt OKC. Yes they did guard him differently than Ariza.

    It's a very simple point that I was making, and it is a fact. The Spurs played a different defense than OKC, and Ryan shot well. OKC was forced to sit one of their best offensive players, because Harden was slicing them up with the space that the shooters provided.

    Donovan had no intention to leave Anderson open ... he chose a different poison. Pops went with more help in the paint, and Ryno made them pay.

    they ddint find anything to guard ryan, ryan just sucks. he's not young, he's an experienced vet who choked in the playoffs.

    in this mda-harden offense he should easily be avg 15-18ppg but he only gets 11-13.

    w/e i said enough. u wanna keep drinking the ryan kool aid go ahead.

    didn't know hitting a 3 with 40 seconds left to put houston up in game 5 vs the spurs was known as choking. what happened after that, that caused them to lose :rolleyes:

    mofo avg less than 30% from three. 12% vs okc. 12% vs okc!

    12% VS OKC!

    case closed!

    if they can renegotiate his contract to cut it down to 10m per year THEN i'd be all aboard the ryno bandwagon. he's worth that.

    even s hill on his contract, isnt vastly overpaid. noah, isnt vastly overpaid cuz he does a lot of things u want from your center. ryan does one thing and he doesnt do it as well as he should

    thats what im gona say from now on. wheneve ri get into a ryan anderson argument, im gonna say 12% vs okc! i shouldn thave to say anything else

    yes they're overpaid, but vastly? noah is still a defensive-rebounding center with some passing game, has size and tons of experience. those arent cheap.

    hill is like a versatile wing with good size and youth and can only get better. those arent cheap

    you should become a GM since you're happy with signing guys like Noah and their whole situation

    i should at least help the gm eat his donuts and cheeseburgers he almost has 4 chins. i dunno if i should become the gm cuz i'd try to trade harden right away and then my house would get set on fire

    not salty, im not mad at you fi thats what u saying. or harden. but i realize only 2 teams will be contenders for awhile and spurs will only get in if there's injuries or if they can get cp3 and trade lma for good depth, along with kawhi being a true top 3 player, better than curry.

    i'd trade harden not for rebuilding but for retooling. down the road when harden starts to age, which isnt far from now, rockets will be a less attractive fa team and borderline lottery team. if i have a buncha good role players, one guy can decline but a bunch will pick up th eslack, and severl 2nd round appearances and maybe a wcf will amke us a good fa destination. the superstars will have to consider, the depth will be there.
