James Harden pushes off a lot.

The stare and the delay on the shot, only to rip net shortly after was the best part of that. The cross over wasn't all that impressive.

I can't wait to see what we come up with against these guys. They are the best team in the NBA right now..but I just feel like we can really compete with them if we bring it. Any James Harden/Chris Paul led team will always be a mentally weak team in my eyes..

Yeah I'm not getting the hype on that ankle breaker either, people are talking of it as if Johnson is actually in the hospital recuperating from it right now.

Luckily we always turn up against the top sides (minus the Cleveland game) too- looking forward to Smart trolling Harden again

They are absolutely stacked this year, top to bottom. They'll likely get LBJ this summer too, barring them winning the title.

And yes, Harden/Paul consistently fail in the playoffs, so they are mentally weak. Until they overcome that, they will always be considered soft when it counts. But it'll be extremely difficult to beat them.

Whoa. That would be a great pickup.

Nice job Colangelo, spending a second-rounder on him only to cut him

So, he traded a former top 3 pick on rookie contract and a 2nd round pick, for nothing, not even cap space. The same year. In fact just a few months later.....

This guy is why we don't have to worry about the Sixers.

Not so sure yet. Still think he'll be a Rocket though

I still think Lebron will be a Laker if he leaves Cleveland. Good thing is, we got it all covered here with who thinks he goes where. So someone will be right eventually.

I got him going to L.A. or staying in Cleveland. Like 50/50. I don't even put the Rockets/Sixers on my list now. But I probably should give each team a small percentage chance.

Not sure Lebron would like the mentally soft candy ass Rockets and Houston in general. Or would he want to be hounded in Philly and hang out with those overrated stat whoring kids.

Where as in L.A. Magic could make him a custom made super team of his choice. Or in Cleveland he stays home for years and breaks records and continues to be treated like basketball Jesus.

The funny thing is this past summer I was talking to some random man somewhere. And we talked some Celtics. And then we got on the topic of Lebron. And he looked at me and goes "You do know Lebron is going to the Lakers next year right?" I just looked at him and said "um.......not sure yet." And then he said "It's a given, trust me."

Got to trust in this weird random man I spoke to outside of a restaurant.

I'm going off the word of the 98.5 guys (Lifshatz/Stewart) who say he's going to pick Houston unless they win the title; if that's the case, he'll be a Sixer. I don't know, I just think that's more realistic to me. Plus they've been right before.

They could be right on Houston if they don't win it all this year, I have not listened to 98.5 in a while though.

I just blah........not into Houston. I think it's much sexier if Lebron is a Laker and we can get some hot Lakers/Celtics finals, the league would be in heaven over that.

This current Cavs team though isn't going to cut it long term. I don't know how much wiggle room they have to improve though for next season if Lebron stays.

I am more into the idea of Lebron to Houston than Philly though.

Embiid won’t last. I think he’s overrated and injury prone. surviving longevity as a big man in today’s nba is almost impossible. greg oden 2.0

Yep. Embiid is the cats meow this season and the media just adores him. I don't trust him though.

I think lebron picks philly.

Easier trip to the finals.

They have young pieces the6 can trade away as he sees fit (cleveland the second trip) i could see simmons and fultz being trade for pg/sg that he wants leaving him with himself saric ajd embiid as the front court and guys like walker or the like as his pg.

I mean he had the cavs trade #1 picks for love, philly has pieces to do the same thing for him.

It reeks of a lebitch move to me

Bottom part is the most important my friend. Most important thing is he's out of the conference

Simmons is one of Lebron's guys under Klutch sports. He's not getting traded if LeBron signs there.

Yep— theyll trade Covington, Fultz, Saric and picks for the best guard they could get. Maybe CJ McCollum?

Defended him after The Decision, and again after his return to CLE. Would defend him for leaving the Cavs again.

But let's face it, if he goes to Philly, he's a ****.

[K For Three]

Lebron's Lakers are pummeling the Heat right now. Even IT is hot tonight.
