There is no way Harden and Westbrook combination will work

    Look at the 15 games before Clint left and the games after he left. I compared the stats, and it didn't make up for what we lost with Clint in there. Westbrook's before and after numbers weren't that much different, but it certainly hurt us losing Clint's blocks, rebounds, and points putting PJ in his spot.

    We made a mistake with that idea. How many double doubles did PJ get compared to Clint? Clint had 27, and PJ had 6 all year and 2 in the playoffs. You can't say that's not a HUGE difference. Plus, Clint had 72 blocks!!

    MDA and Morey wanted to go micro ball so unfortunately it had to be done. Hopefully this offseason we can sign a McGee or a Favours to shore up the front line. The whole concept of micro ball was stupid to begin with.

    We need to move away from that whole gimmick concept
