    But I thought Harden hates his teammates and wants all the glory?

    Turns out the big adjustment was the McHale adjustment: play harder, clap clap clap....

    I'm guessing we're mostly a trust the system team at this point in the season.

    Marcus is one of Hardens best buddies so it is natural his twin is close with Harden to.

    Ariza was on the receiving end of a BS call 3 years ago when he was a member of the Wizards at Toyota Center. The look on his face was priceless.

    Once we claim the 2nd seed its a wrap. OKC will be 6th or 7th -- no way they can justify that.

    Back from the game. So glad they woke up in the 2nd half - they almost spoiled our night!

    I almost typed the same thing than I did the straight up trade test in my mind.
    Simply put, if you where a GM would do straight up trade for player A versus player B. As much as I love how Eric Gordon is playing, if the warriors called Morey and said Klay was on the table Morey would trade anyone on this roster not named James Harden. Over his career Klay is a better shooter and defender and is also more durable than Eric Gordon.

    That being said Klay has average to below average handles, Eric has borderline elite handles. Which allows him to create for himself and others.

    Eric is having a great season and is finally living up to what many people thought he would be when he was with the clippers. What he is dong should be celebrated.

    He should be a All-Star

    Thank you coach Scott for destroying the haters narrative of regarding Harden . Foul is a foul. Don't foul him it is simple.

    Not Sure when Morey said that but right now if health were not an issue Gordon is better. Not counting Harden as a SG then Gordon is probably the best shooting guard in the west.

    Probably Oubre. He looked frustrated during the game.

    **** outta here with this sneaky athleticism bs. Ryno is trash and is utterly useless when his shot isn't falling.

    Trade him ASAP.
