    Harden is a good passer for a sg.

    Him always bring the primary ball handler without a true passing pg is part of why our offense stagnates so much. Harden Iso isn't working anymore.

    this is what i wanted in the playoffs last season and the end of the reg season when bev was gone. start brewer, have him or ariza defend the pg. terry would've had a much easier time coming off the bench, playing against the opponents bench players, and could've been a scoring spark off the bench.

    gotta do somethign so thronton starting is worth a try, but this also means harden has to PLAY SOME ****IN DEFENSE! harden at pg, regardless of who's guarding the other team's pg, harden needs to play defense for this to work. there's gonna be a lot of switching onto harden and he cant stand still and give a lazy ass reach around when his man blows right by him. he has to move his feet

    No matter what position you play at, it won't work out if you are still lazy on court.

    If Harden is our PG as many of you said, why did we get Lawson and not a pure SG?

    Harden told morey he wanted a PG but forgot that he needs the ball in his hands to operate

    Need to insert thornton into the starting lineup also. I understand he hasn't been great lately since he's been coming off the bench but he was great as a starter. Terry just shouldn't be starting.

    Harden
    Thornton
    Ariza
    Jones
    Dwight

    Until bev comes back in which he takes over as starter this is a lineup i would like to see.

    His assist to turnover is just not that great - pretty bad for a PG.

    I think we better sit harden for a game or two to calm himself down.

    Harden is Arjen Robben of basketball. Great on offense and has only one leg/hand. But unlike in football, you need to play defense, because there's no goalkeeper ans 9 more guys to defend for him.
    That being said, lebron and durant and many other stars don't play defense, but their teams somehow manage.
