The biggest change we've seen from Harden since his time off from Covid:

1) He's getting down hill with ease

2) He's cut down on the step back threes and over dribbling. He's way more decisive now.

3) He has Claxton back as his rim runner. Claxton's numbers since his return have been excellent.

Whatever clicked for him while he was sitting at home playing CoD and 2K is paying dividends. He's in MVP mode, add KD, Kyrie, LMA and Harris to the mix and I don't see anyone beating us.

Sucks that Carter is so horrific.

Thankfully he won't play a minute, might not even be here, after Cam returns from the protocol.

That, plus the return of Kyrie (on the road, when he feels like it), should spell the end for Carter.


Carter is **** awful.

Glue him to the end of the bench where he belongs.


David Duke Jr. should take his minutes. I don't care if Duke isn't a shooter, he's so much better

i just read Harden spent the layoff doing cardio and focusing on his nutrition.

The people who said that this man was cooked are absolute morons.

ESPN still doesn’t believe he’s back but that’s Ok. I really hope those mofos keep that energy if we are bearing the gold end of the year. I don’t want no SAS trying to explain himself to KD or anyone, please. I can’t stand them nor do I want them to come near our team. Mofos were crying all season about Harden and Kyrie. They can go lick McFlurrys choking ass sac.

To me the biggest difference is he is finishing at the rim. That really equate to the 2-4 points and 3-5% FG% difference he was lacking off of last years performance.

That overhand floater especially.

Having claxton, or any rim roller is huge. it collapses the D and opens up the three. having 4 shooters on the floor is less helpful if their defender never helps off them

Once we have 15 available bodies again i dont think we will see much more Carter. I think with playing time his shooting would eventually even out and i still love his defense but its been 2 months, his role was small either way and others have ,made a case for those minutes

I love Capstraw.

the nets entire media and announce team is fantastic. Ruocco and Capstraw are elite. Ian is obviously a legend. Sarah is new but she is better then half the 20 year expierenced white dudes doing color on fox sports around the league. Spinarkle was elite when he was on. RJ is fantastic as a color guy.

Grady is the only guy i dont like as play by play but is great as the 3rd guy on the sideline
