    Because we lost Ariza and Luc and we did not replace them We then took a key bench piece and made him a starter.

    Luc was injured and added nothing in the Warriors series. We replaced Ariza with House, Rivers, and Faried.

    None of those guys replace Ariza. Sorry. They cannot defend Durant/ Green.

    We don't play defense that way. Guys are switching constantly so you don't have these kinds of match-ups. And Green is not an offensive threat.

    You need to take out nose out of video games and actually watch the games.

    Hey guys, he finally used some actual numbers to support his argument!

    82 =! 4

    We should celebrate this momentous occasion in b-ballholics development! There’s no telling what’s possible with the stepping stone in place.

    If we win a championship this season I will thoroughly enjoy it. And none of you will be more happy than I that I was wrong.

    But you just said we aren't winning a championship. So you should go away until we lose and then come back. No point in watching the games since you know the outcome.

    Unless you already know you don't know what you are talking about and just need the attention.

    Yet Another huge game for Thon Maker!
    6pts and 0 rebs in 11mins. 0-0 3pt in a blowout loss to the Bucks while going down 0-3.


    Capela 11pts 14 rebs & 2 blks in 33mins, while helping the Rox go up 3-0.

    This is a joke.

    What about Thon + 3 firsts for Capela?

    I think it'd have to be 4 firsts before I'd be interested in listening to the proposal.

    If we sweep the Jazz, who everyone said were better this season than last... that makes this team better than last year, no?

    It's way more complicated.

    Some might say the ariza deal was addition by subtraction but ariza's contribution to the Lakers championship was greater than shumpert's contribution on the Cavs.

    Ariza was more skilled than shumpert simply based off the fact that ariza was more highly rated at UCLA. Then ariza continued winning even after his Lakers championship with Kobe Bryant.

    Has harden got better? Where has he improved? To me harden best asset is durability but those that win championships?

    Just imagine how much better the Rockets would be if they had traded Capela for Thon Maker and paid Ariza $15m for one season.

    None of this makes sense and Shumpert was higher rated in high school and in college Shumpert was a 1st round pick Ariza was a 2nd.N

    And are you actually asking has Harden gotten bett?:eek:
