    The most frustrating thing about myers is the fact that in theory he could be a really good player. He has good hands, athleticism (just not laterally), has a soft touch, can box out, has a good jumper out to 3 point range, and has good passing ability for a big. But, it is only in theory. He can't get out of his own way.

    Exactly. He didn't have those hops to start the season after the surgery. He has them back now and look like he has some mystical ability to float sometimes. ...hehe

    Well Damian has the 5th highest player EFFICIENCY rating for PG's in the league, so that's something. His shot selection at times is pretty perplexing though.

    It's beautiful. The "MVP" with 18 FG attempts and 18 FT attempts. 33 points from him and 46 from everyone else. What a joke.

    I missed the game, but spent an hour reading about it. Both teams were missing a starting forward (Terrence Jones and Vonleh). Rotoworld says that no Rocket substitute scored until the 4th quarter.

    That's true. At one point Ariza had 5, Beverly had 2, and the rest of their points were Harden/Howard.

    Harden is the most manufactured star in the league. I've said it before and I'll keep saying it.

    They finally realize they need to trade Harden.

    They should honestly see if they can get Isaiah Thomas and Brooklyns pick for him. Or some combination of assets from the Celtics.

    Dame goes 7-20 and we still win by 20?

    Man. HOU has some issues.

    Just watched the archived game on LP. Our D was on point today, but it definitely looked like Harden took his boys out to Houston's finest club last night.

    In Gestalt Theory, the parts add up to more than the whole. In Leonard Theory, the excellent parts sum to a mediocre whole.
