    Watch Harden this game, and watch how he moved last season.



    It's not even close. Look how explosive he is attacking the rim. He was a force off the dribble .

    It don't seem like it, He doesn't cut or spot up for open threes. He just stands at half court and wait on a pass just to iso. wtf, MDA has helped build these bad habits. I miss those back door cuts he used to do with J. Lin.

    Except for the fact that he does. He showed that a few seasons back. Blame Morey and the emphasis on less midrange and more 3s and layups.

    The same with Capela. He got paid and threw up the deuces.

    Agreed and Jim looks disinterested on most possessions. The iso ball of last year isn't going to work without Ego hitting shots, PJ hitting shots and guys like Ariza basically guarding 2 positions. This team looks pathetically lost on D and almost as bad on offense so far... so far this does not look like a team that will win 50 let alone 65 again.

    I just don’t see attitude and drive in these first two games like I saw all last year.

    I dunno why MDA changed up the lineup . We were on a good run to start the second and he quickly put back in ennis , harden , and tucker .

    Gordon has been our best player tonight .

    He's moving pretty well though. He looks more quick and athletic that Harden which is sad given the age difference .

    I don't get why so many of you guys are talking **** about Capela, he didn't look bad so far to me, it's like you expect him to be suddenly like KAT
    :D
    and launch some 3s
