I'm a Pacers fan, but I love watching the Thunder. Especially James Harden. My quesion is why is he not your starting SG? He has to be better than Thabo right? Harden is a stud, I don't get why he doesn't start.

He doesn't start because Brooks wanted to go with a continuity starting lineup to start the year. Harden also comes off the bench so he can be "the guy" with the second unit and won't have to defer to Westbrook and Harden.

He's infinitely better than Sefolosha. His defense might even be better than Sefolosha's now.

Harden is whatever a step up from a stud is. I, personally, think he's the second most talented player on this team. I'm probably wrong, but whatever

I would say behind Kobe, Wade, EJ, Ray (maybe), Manu, and Monta, he's the best SG in the league. Dangerous off the bench.

Correct. Eric Gordon Jr.
