re: What is keeping u watching this team for the remainder of the season?

boredom is why i'd tune in from time to time but it seems like everytime i play, we're playing like dogshit. Very frustrating.

That smells like Jealousy to me. The "team that will not be mentioned" can't boast the same.

Even if you don't think he's top 5, which is fine, he's not far off.


The teams management has been embarrassing

quote:

Hardens first year leading a team he took HOU to the playoffs and the next best players on the team were:

---

45-37;.549 (year prior 34-32;.515 -> 42-40)
Parsons: 76 games; posted 15.5/5.3/3.5
Asik: 82 games; posted 10.1/11.7/0.9
Lin: 82 games; posted 13.4/3.0/6.4

Parsons was a 2nd year player who came off a solid rookie campaign and improved his play and continued to play solidly

Asik was a bench center behind Noah in Chicago, still put up good numbers in 15 minutes. First year as a starter, his numbers increased as well.

Lin was coming off that hot Linsanity year and pretty much posted up the same stats in Houston as he did in NY


Now compare that to AD's situation right now and his "predicted starting team"
58 games played:
Starting PG: 25 games, injured most of the season
Starting SG: 42 games, injured
Starting SF: 0 games, never played a game this year
Starting C: 48 games, injured to start the season and minute restrictions
Bench PG: 52 games, minute restrictions for half of those games
Bench PF: 56 games, stepped up all season.

Too add onto all of that, his SF all season has been an off the streets guy, 14 games was with a D-league SG, and 41 games (19 starts) with a PG that was 3rd on the depth chart.

Obvious is obvious. Unless your name is LeBron, you can't carry a shitfest of a team alone. Not a single person wouldn't swap out any of our players this year for any of Houston's 2012 squad.

And for all of Harden's "leadership" his first year at 23, he improved their win % which would be equivalent of a grand slam of "3" wins. The year prior, they missed the playoffs by 2 wins (36-30 Utah). The first year with harden, they made the playoffs by 2 wins (43-39 Utah). But lets dismiss the fact that he had an actually half way decent group of guys playing with him.

He was alpha-dog, but its not like he took a team from 33-49 to 53-29.

40 minutes later on a laptop, Traffic was 10 minutes thankfully.
