What a game by Harden!

Ballings7 · Post #3 » by **Ballings7** » Thu Nov 28, 2024 2:23 am

Just the kind of game the team needed after the Boston game..

Great to see from Harden, even if against the Wizards.. shows his rhythm

Pretty big games from Zubac and Jordan Miller too

Team with 18 steals and counting.. Mann with 4 of them.

Pretty tough stretch coming up..

at Minny
vs Nuggs
vs Blazers
vs. Minny

I'll take 2-2 for 14-10.. Minny while 8-9 I don't take that lightly.

Jordan Miller is legit. Lue needs to play him more, period.

Tonight's Harden game was a long time coming. That was "Houston Harden" right there. Zu was nice and Coffey was solid. How long will Jordan Miller be buried underneath Mann and KPJ? And truthfully I'm trying to see KPJ pan out and work for us in the long run, but at the same time I don't see it. He'll get separation from his defender and will have an open high percentage shot, but for some reason he'll have to "hot dog it, add some extra spice" to it which allows the defense to recover and then he winds up taking a much MUCH more difficult shot in the end. Let's get this game in Minnesota. They're a team that doesn't like each other

The Wiz should NOT be bad as they are with

Kuzma
Brogdon
Poole
Bagley

and Valanciunas on the second team. Making only $10M. The funny thing is, I like these guys but wouldn't really trade any of our guys for theirs. Our guys are doing great.

I agree but his minutes got to come from somewhere. First one to go is your boy T-Mann. Period. KPJ is almost 4 years younger and averaged 19 ppg at age 22 and is just getting back up to NBA speed. T-Mann is 27 and hasn't done sh*t in his career and is getting worse.

He's already lost his starting job and has been crap on the second team too. We have like 5 tweener "role players" and he's the worst. Time to let it go.

Harden can obviously still be an offensive menace. His issue is mainly back to back games and it’s been like that since the Nets days. He’s just a big guard and wears out under those loads. We need Kawhi back and Powell. Wish KPJ was more reliable to leave on the floor longer or even carry a game or two.

They deserve their record.

Kuzma was attending fashion shows entire summer, came to preseason overweight. He still carry that fat hence nobody in Clippers should target him as a trade candidate. He checked out.

Valanciunas was a free agent, Pelicans rather choose garbage Theis or Herb Jones at Center would be better. they thought. He signed with Wizards(worst team?) for only 10 million usd as you said. Is he really better than Theis or Plumlee? Pelicans didn't think so. So every other decent Franchise other than Wizards.

Poole&Bagley are ... nevermind.

Brogdon is the only quality vet that can help Bilal & Sarr and Co.

Only quality guy in that list is Brogdon and he's always out with an injury. Kuz looks overweight and Poole isn't "that guy". Its crazy seeing Jonny Davis and Marvin Bagley, both highly drafted lottery picks, are now 3rd stringers on the Wizards of all teams. Yikes!

It's great to see the Houston Harden again. I wouldn't buy too much into it though, it's against a bottom feeder team that can't defend a traffic cone.

This Wizards team is an absolute joke. On paper they are actually more talented than us.

Record-wise, basically just as good as the darlings Denver, LAL, and Phoenix.. and game to game a top 5-7 defense in the league. Pretty nice going. Depth on the team is a lot better than it has been..

Minnesota may wake up in the next week, but they are struggling and in the thick of some turmoil it appears.. maybe get both those games and out-dawg them.
