    I know lol. Which is why I wouldn't hate it while he's out, but I just also wouldn't expect a big impact. If Paul is close to full speed (not a given) I do think the team can weather Harden's injury... Gordon needs to step up tho, he's been awful by his standards, capable of much more.

    Yea I don't see Paul getting up the full speed any time soon. I think he still isn't fully recovered from the groin injury. Will be a tough few weeks.

    it's about time Dantoni hits that panic button on Morey. and Morey need to get his ass out there and get something done.

    if we need to sign Monta Ellis, do it. but i'm not gonna hate on people who thinks this might be okay because we're freaking desperate.

    yeah you're crazy and ignorant.... you get what's available on the market for temporary help, not looking ahead to GS dufus. Same reason we signed Green, Ellis can provide the same 1/2 combo guard duty as Harden. We might not sign anyone and increase everyone's minutes, or we might sign someone. But if we do, all I'm suggesting is take a look at this guy, not saying he's the freakin savior. He's jobless for a reason, but beggar can't be chooser son.

    We need to find as many scoring options as possible at this point. CP can't be shouldering the load coming off that injury. That's why I like Monte Ellis with Gerald Green. Both can score & are athletic enough to create

    One of the reason we should sign someone is cause Gordon's been borderline shitty. Will he improve or shoot better when Harden's out, we'll see, but I don't see that happening on a consistent basis cause he aint gonna get much open looks now.

    That's all it takes to be a rocket these days if you aren't cp3 or harden
