    Mason Plumlee made the team and maybe Stephen Curry should get partial credit. :grin:

    I must say harden is playing decent defense lately. Still has miscues often but on ball defense is better

    That's all we need. He doesn't have to be an ace defender, but just acceptable, and hopefully even good. If he can do that, then he's an easy Top 5-7 player in the NBA.

    Parsons is the best SF in the "white dudes who can't create their own shots" category, and an up and coming "3rd wheel being paid like a superstar".

    This won't happen if he's forced to play 40+ minutes every single game again.
    Remember when Beverley's defense was amazing and then it dropped off when he became a full time starter? He's still a good defender but the minutes fatigue gets to you.

    Very true, no doubt. 32-34 minutes per game would be ideal. However, substantial improvement is a capability for Harden no matter how many minutes he plays. He just can't be the glaring liability he was last year. I don't think that's too much to ask.

    Its a pretty boring game, classes have started for most colleges, and its the middle of a workday. Haha.

    Long time lurker living in the Bahamas here. Big fan of the site and glad to finally be a member.

    Just signed up for the official FIBA streaming site livebasketball.tv and got ripped off. Doesn't say it's blocked in the Bahamas but it is. It's also blocked in the US. Other than watching is on ESPN, how else are you guys watching the FIBA games? Thanks.
