Cavs do have pieces to move if Love grows apart from the team and they want to trade him.

Ah, screw it.. won't happen anyway

What are you doing?
They need to stop throwing Harden into clear out isos and using him like Kobe, but yeah...no...no no no.

There's clearly a problem in Houston. Lin and Harden both need the basketball in their hands to succeed. The easiest solution is start one and bring the other off the bench as a sixth man. Beard is the easy choice because of his role in OKC. Neither player can live on the perimeter for spot-up threes while the other dominates physical possession of the ball.

They just gave Harden a max contract. No chance he comes off the bench, regardless of whether it's the right choice or not. He & Lin are gonna have to figure it out.

Should've been called The New Orleans Clap

Triple entendre don't even ask me how.....

 

[solarius49]

Kevin Love for Roy Hibbert?

Spoiler

not srs

 

[datznasty]

If it did come to feeling like you need to bring one off the bench, Harden is better in every phase of the game so don't know why he should just be the one to get benched.

I hope Sideshow Bob makes food of D12

[Spectacular23]

Varejao just bodied Hill :x

 

[big j 33]

If any coach or front office guy says Harden should come off the bench, you could probably hear Harden's laugh a few miles away.

Miami was able to get 2 ball dominant players to co-exist so I don't see any road block on why Houston can't get their 2 stars to mesh with one another. Both just needs to learn how to play off the ball a lot more.

Laker Fans pipe-dreaming already...

Worry about this season first.

Word.

Be careful what you wish for.

Feels good to have Kyrie back

 

[do be doo]

Saw this on twitter the other day. Per 36 minutes,

Player A: 22.6 points, 11.3 rebs, 50.8% FG, 2.2 blocks

Player B: 21.0 points, 11.8 rebs, 51.7% FG, 2.9 blocks

Any guesses? 

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Player A: 25-year-old MVP-winning Tim Duncan
 
Player B: current 36-year-old Tim Duncan
 
Timmy.

That's just consistent by Duncan and that's why he is one of the best big men ever and a first ballot HOF'er

Mikhail Prokhorov is one of the scariest looking human beings on the planet
