    I think Harden practices basketball on a home court of strategically placed banana peels. Gotta work on drawing that contact man.

    Harden doesn't get the calls against the Warriors.

    He shot 40% from downtown last year (on 7 attempts a game), with the lakers.

    Not saying is he not good, or that he won't be great down the line. Just that Tatum has the edge his first year. And to win the ROY award I think you will agree he needs to be able to shoot better. So far in preseason he has not improved much. 0% from 3 and less than 50% from the line.......great passing is not enough. Lonzo will win it if it is.

    He attacks the basket extremely well. But I am guessing they will take that away from him in the regular season. He needs to get better from the outside.

    That is true. He will probably shoot even better with the Warriors. He should get a lot of open looks.

    Looks like I'm banned at ClutchFans. I think they know they suck. A guy bet me $500 Rockets would have better record than Blazers. He won't pay though. I can't even communicate with him now.

    Looks like Hayward’s injuries are more extensive... don’t know if that’s a good thing or bad thing regarding recovery time - dislocated ankle and broken tibia versus broken ankle...

    I'm not positive the Rockets will make the playoffs. Two chokers that can't play together.

    Paul going one on one vs Durant is Houston's offense? This Rockets team is horrible.
