    What did James Harden do during the off-season and pre-season?

    All the moving screens get him open. I wish the refs would at least call half of them. It would slow the offense Down to reality a bit.

    Thing is though, we've seen Harden catch and shoot effectively. It's just unfortunate the current Rockets team doesn't have a good starting PG (looking at you Lawson) right now. Put in Beverley in the starting PG position and have Lawson back him up with the hunger to overtake Pat in the future and we might have a formidable bench with Lawson, Terry and Brewer off the bench.

    I remember catching a Warriors game and one of the commentators asked when should you start picking up your defense on Curry..

    The other announcer replied, "At his house". Answer seemed pretty legit to me, Harden's not the only problem on this team right now but he's definitely a pretty major issue why this team isn't playing as well as it could right now. We definitely need more games like tonight against NY. No we didn't come out with a win but we played like we wanted to actually win a game. We'd better start turning it around soon or otherwise we won't even have to worry about Howard resigning here in one of his last long term contracts, hell say good bye to whatever slim chance we had of getting Durant.

    Right now we need DMO and Beverley back healthy plus a good contributing Lawson and we'll start to win games. At least Clint is playing better and the team as a whole is starting to make more 3's. Hopefully Bickerstaff is going to help instill a better moving flowing offense, if not it's going to be Steve Francis + Tmac 2.0.

    yeah. obviously Golden State are the only ones who do moving screens. Joakim Noah, Diaw, and the other NBA bigs obviously never set illegal screens.

    moving screens are apparent all over the league including Houston. The only reason why people even notice is with the gsw is because they're the best team and take full advantage of it very well since they execute at high level. That's why they're the champs

    Curry is a good Moreyball player and would do well playing off of James. We need to look into a deal for him centered around TJones and Bev.

    We're giving up too much.

    Bev and a bag of potato chips should do it.

    It doesn't explain Curry's ability to hit open shots, every team has moving screens but nobody approaches Curry's accuracy.

    Curry is putting to rest all doubt about his MVP status. Dude is what we expect out of every great athlete. He is a machine!
