    From your lips to MDA's ears... I don't understand why he won't do it. Something to take some of the load off of Capela and Tucker. He can try and give Clark minutes here and there too.

    Good win over an up and coming team. Beating the Suns won't be easier in the foreseeable future.

    Agree, but it's hard to show to other people when the fouls are somewhat even, 25 v 28; the FTA are somewhat even, 28 v 30; and Harden got to the line 18 times.

    Lol the video poster stated that McLemore is the true superstar and not Harden. Last video of his I’ll watch.

    I would even experiment with him and Capela on the court at the same time

    Yeah get back to me when Westbrook scores 38 points a night with an efg% close to Harden. Also when Westbrook scores 17 straight points in 7 minutes in crunch time in the 4th, then we can talk about “what about”.

    Westbrook and Harden are different players with different roles and abilities. Without Harden the Rockets are a bottom 3-4 team.

    Don't ever change, BasketMAD. Just don't expect very many to ever agree with you.

    There is no question he shot the ball poorly from 3 for a long part of the game. However he is a rhythm player and his shooting can change at any point in time. He is a volume scorer and extremely crafty. He needs to keep shooting if he is confident in his shot... which he did. He also reacts to what is available, what the defense gives him.

    well i mean people who don't even watch the games and just check the boxscore -- are useless to any sort of constructive discussion anyways

    It isn’t coincidence that Westbrook has been playing better when McLemore hits 3’s and gets out in transition.

    i'm ecstatic about mclemore finally hitting the open 3's, but still leery of him panning out overall. hoping he's not just on a hot streak right now. also those 3 consecutive turnovers last nite were horrible and had me thinking i hope he doesn't revert to his play of previous seasons once the playoffs begin

    WTF, that description is so odd man. Usually these highlight videos are just that, highlight videos.

    But this man actually went out of his way to write an article about Harden in the description.

    At first I thought... "Come on Amaru, it was probably done in a sarcastic fun manner..." but he was serious lol.

    @Williamson can we talk about the sike last night? Two Hartenminutestiens in the first quarter. It's looking like it's going to be a W for sure bc he's in early. Then he never plays again.

    I find this curious. But the streak of significant minutes is still alive.

    I know we(well some lol) joke about Hartenstein but he actually looks legitimately good on defense. I wanna see more playing time for him the most.

    Other than the recent hot three point shooting, the key to me has been getting McLemore out on the fastbreak to compliment Westbrook. That's another great look we can throw at teams moving forward.
