Imagine James Harden in the 80s and 90s...he would have had to say out on the perimeter and shoot contested 3s (which he admittedly makes some of).
On the topic of the Houston Rockets...they seem to be improving, but overall this is the Rockets team I was expecting last year (no leaders and an MVP candidate that went viral for poor defense).

Their offense is improving, their defense is ranked like 26th in the league or something. Your never going to get far when that's how you are traveling. The Houston commentators vs Lakers said that they'd heard a certain bearded shooter had lobbied to get rid of McHale because of his hounding of him to commit more on defense.

He is their second best player isn't he?
who's got the balls to pass it to him? might get 15 assists in one game but that person would spend the next 6 months on the bench after harden moans hes not getting the ball for an iso every play!
Can someone please explain to me how Jordan Clarkson got the bulk of the minutes over D'Angelo Russell at PG tonight?
Clarkson: 35:02, 8 points (2-14 shooting), 6 rbs, 6 ast and a +/- of -14 (team worst)
Russell: 23:26, 5 points (2-5 shooting), 2 rbs, 4 ast, 3 stl and a +/- of +1 (only Nick Young was better with +3)
Meanwhile Kemba Walker: 38 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks (+14)

Just another reason that the Lakers will get a top three pick.
And by the way, All-Star voting update came in. Kyrie and Kobe are in the top 3 for their conferences in their positions, while Enes Kanter (that's right) is 13th for the Western back-court, the PorzinGOD is 8th I believe in the Eastern back-court (happy with that) and Reggie Jackson is not in the top 10 for the Eastern frontcourt (really?)

Interesting read of tweets by prohoopshistory about how he was overrated etc - don't see much of that kind of truth as soon as someone dies - I'll link later, may be off on the username there

Most Improved is a two horse race in my opinion - Will Barton and CJ McCollum with McCollum holding a comfortable lead. They had almost identical stats last season so it makes it easy to compare them head to head. Instead, I'd be looking at Barton in the 6th man race.
Will Barton
2014-15: 6.8ppg, 2.8rpg, 1.4apg, 0.3bpg, 0.8spg
2015-16: 16.8ppg, 6.2rpg, 2.6apg, 0.4bpg, 1.1spg
CJ McCollum
2014-15: 6.8ppg, 1.5rpg, 1.0apg, 0.1bpg, 0.7spg
2015-16: 21.0ppg, 3.7rpg, 4.3apg, 0.1bpg, 1.3spg
