Alize probably gives you that 30% and boards + defense. Nash baffles me with stuff like this.

Same here, Alize over TLC is a no brainer.

Harden just makes this team roll so effortlessly. The offense just clicks when he's in

I'm inclined to agree, because Bruce starting helps us immensely to set a defensive tone. I cannot recall a game where opponents start the game with a layup drill and run out to a big lead when he starts. We frequently dig ourselves in an early hole when he doesn't start.

BUT, I also prefer our shooters Landry and Joe to spend less PT sharing the court. Maybe Brown starts at C? Maybe Shamet falls out of the 8-man rotation???

Beautiful pass to Claxton by KD.

God this team at 100% will be unstoppable

Damn I just saw the play. Hope Uncle Jeff is good. We need those posters.

Give me Harden/Irving/Brown/KD/Claxton

Griffin, Green, Joe, James probably round out the rotation for the playoffs.

Harden to Claxton. Oh my god. This is scary

Whiskey Slick · Post #88 » by **Whiskey Slick** » Thu May 13, 2021 2:00 am

Claxton is back to his old self.

It takes awhile because Covid weakens you, but it looks like he's BACK.

MrDollarBills · Post #89 » by **MrDollarBills** » Thu May 13, 2021 2:00 am

Harden turns this offense into a God tier machine. We haven't seen ball movement like this in weeks.

Having the MVP setting him up also helps! :nod:

I don't like it either, but the root cause of the problem is still overemphasis on rings.

You know who suits up and plays hard every single night? Westbrook. Some good that did him with the media narrative.

I personally think they all should be like Kyrie and disregard what the media says and thinks. But players most of them don't think like that

Westbrook has never won anything in his life and all his teams become better when leaves. What an example to emulate

Well the rocket and the thunder are currently the worst 2 teams in the league.

I'm not a huge Westbrook fan, but that dude plays his ass off every single night

Takes effort and heart to do that. I'll take him on my team anyday on that alone, he's like Bruce Brown on steroids. It's up to the coach to reign in his worst tendencies.

Westbrook taking jumpers in a close game with KD on his team ? Hell no. Westbrook freestyling and wrecking havoc with his physicality and crashing the boards? I'll take that

The Thunder were way better with Chris Paul.

I would rather take a smart player than a dumb one who "competes every night."

All Westbrook does is chuck shots in the playoffs and make his team lose. A sub 30% 3 point shooter. No thanks.

This is why he never wins.

Pretty much why Miami running through a brick wall right now to get that 4-5 seed. Pat and Spo know better.

Alize not playing is a crime. I agree!

Whiskey Slick · Post #96 » by **Whiskey Slick** » Thu May 13, 2021 2:03 am

James Harden is the best friend Nic Claxton ever had.

If ever one player has taken another players game to another level, it's Harden for Claxton.

Hello Brooklyn · Post #97 » by **Hello Brooklyn** » Thu May 13, 2021 2:03 am

Harden somehow makes our defense better. I've seen it time and again.

I don't know why but he does!

That's a lot of salary being paid out down there in South Beach. I don't blame them.
