    Not sure how seriously we should be taking some of these stats

    Only wished Harden wouldn’t settle for 3s whenever he can’t make them. He needs to stop shooting and drive in or attempt some shoots inside even if it goes against our scheme. And just be more focused on defense. He does get more focused against better teams but takes nights off against teams with losing records or records lower than us.

    Aside from that Harden carries us every game, we go however Harden goes because no one can make consistent shots. They are professional basketball players yet they can’t seem to make open shots. Is not Hardens job to make them confident, they should be able to make shots whenever they are open but most of the time they bricked them and if they drive in they do nothing with it. Harden can’t have an off night because other guys can’t make their shoots or create shots

    Someone show this to D’Antoni because he doesn’t like using Harti.

    Yeah, the stats do say that they should probably get more minutes.

    I think Bmac should start. We were rolling when he started and alright...MDA I understand he doesn't believe a guy should lose their starting spot because of injury but at this point House will lose his starting spot by play.

    Hartenstein should play more. If he does that number is sure to go down.

    It’s really not that difficult to look at this stuff and few other numbers to make something useful out of the info.

    Ben and Hart play on the 2nd best offense in the league. So seeing some of our rotation players up on this leader board is not all that surprising.

    Both those guys are relatively low minutes guys therefor the results in stats like these are prone to be more volatile then someone like Harden and Westbrook who play most of the game. It’s fair to assume. that if you upped their minutes to full time rotation level that their ratings would drop a bit.

    The number is not meant to say that these individuals are 2 or the best offensive players in the league. But what it does say is that in the minutes they play our offense as a TEAM takes off.

    yea let house stew and strive to earn back his starting position. Hell he might even enjoy playing the bench role, less pressure to do well w/o playing alongside harden at the beginning.

    Yeah, always gotta be careful with big men and foot and leg injuries in particular.

    He should sit out for as long as needed, makes me wonder why he was even playing major minutes in a b2b at all.
