you need to take this as a learning experience and watch more film.

Nash was a superior offensive player in every way.

and defensively well they both are shitty...one because of physical limitations, the other one is mental.

Too bad for you that wasn't a coach D kinda team. He's finally got a roster built for his offense. For the first time since his PHX days


You do realize the last time San Antonio faced a Mike D'Antoni PHX team, Spurs rolled them 4-1.

You're ignorant, as usual.

Nash was in a system that got the best of him. Harden is about to be in the same system so his numbers will blow Nash's out the water next season. Never mind he is already better than Nash at his best now without a plethora of 3pont shooters surrounding him.

2 things..

1. Nash was not a better scorer than Harden. Harden last season averaged 11 points more per game than Nash's highest scoring season.

But Nash was amazing in other ways on offense so I'm not taking anything away.. just giving Harden credit where it's due.

2. Harden has physical limitations as well. He's not the quickest or most athletic guy out there. He's big. Quicker players can beat him off the dribble and they are much more agile than Harden is and can run around off of screens to get open shots and Harden can't keep up.

He actually defends power forwards better than SG's, believe it or not, because he is very strong and can hold his own in the post and they aren't quick enough to get by him.

You see the Youtube lowlights of Harden ball-watching and losing his man and think he's bad on defense. Yes, he does lose his man from time to time and give up on a play, but those are are a small percentage of plays relatively speaking. He's not great on defense due to the reasons I stated above.

Actually the other guy pointed out that SA swept a Mike D lakers team last time they faced him.

I'm saying the time before that that they faced him, he was still PHX coach and SA won 4-1.

You were wrong twice over, you dumbfrick

Tbh I've been focusing on my boxing lately having played hoops in months. And I really doubt you want to step in the ring for a few rounds.

you need at least 2, but more likely 3 all star caliber guys to reach 50 wins.

Minny has 1.

minnesota is not winning 50 next year, obviously, but they have 2 all star caliber players. wiggins might be on the fringe next year, but he's an all star in 2017-2018 for sure.

he is gonna score 23+ a game next year IMO. wont be that efficient, but will be slightly improved. he's gonna be a volume scorer and 8 time all star at least.

Sounds like a personal problem and a convenient excuse

I am very excited to see how well/how quickly Minny gels this year. KAT is so much fun to watch.

yeah, they are a league pass team for sure. im totally jumping on the bandwagon. really hope they are in the playoff hunt playing some meaningful games. i think they will be close to the 8 spot and have some important games down the stretch, which will be really fun.
