Melo with 26 in the 1st half, Bargs continues his resurgence....and the rockets will probably pull away in the 2nd half BUT......Bargs Baby!!!!!

[Heyward]

Bargs shutting down Dwight, best C in the league my ass.

Not sure if you noticed but that was the reason Harden had to leave the Thunder. He wanted no part of that celebration because he wasn't the focal point.

Good for lin.

Or because he was beat to shyt from all the hits, is playing on a swollen foot and is in a ton of pain........but yeah, you're probably right.

Oh....AND....major props to Steven Adams on another, HUGE, stat-line.

That game wasn't for him last night. Thunder went small for most of the game. Its part of their versatility because KD is getting to the point where he can defend stretch 4's that aren't big post up players.

Also, my comment on Harden is based on what I know from after the Thunders games 1 win in 2012 in the NBA finals.

Oh, so, the fact that Harden is going under treatment pretty much around the clock doesn't effect his mood? Have you seen what he's playing with?

I don't know what this means. He is going under therapy? What is he playing with?

Thats BS if you ask me. You can still be happy that your teammate was completely owning hte competition.

This is the same guy that was pissed when his team just won game 1 of the NBA FINALS because he didn't get enough shots. That says it all to me.

[gilesfan]

Yet, you don't have a problem with Russell Westbrook....that seems odd.

Holy **** that foot is gross.

[BRule]

So the fact that his foot is injuried and is basically playing with a club foot....is BS? Interesting....

God knows if it was KD you would be singing his praises for how tough and gritty he is.

LOL very odd..........and very gross.

Why would I have a problem with Westbrook. That guy lives and dies with every win regardless of how many shots he gets. The incident with Thabo was because he was ENCOURAGING him to shoot the ball more.

KD is trying to pass the ball more to get his teammates involved. He wants to take LESS shots but will put the team on his back if he needs to.

Harden - 17 shots per game with 5 APG

KD - 17 shots per game with 5 APG

I fail to see the difference

Also, LOL at your RW defense.

I fail to see how this addresses the point we were discussing.

[BRule]

You said Harden was selfish, then used KD numbers as a reference point to prove your point. The numbers show they are shooting the same amount of times per game and have similar APG numbers. Thus how can one be much more selfish?

Also, KD is taking the same amount of shots this year, as he did last. Which also shoots a giant hole in your theory.

[thethe]

I said Harden was selfish because he is unable to get enjoyment out of wins unless he is the guy. KD wants to win every game regardless of how many shots he took. Once it was released how Harden reacted after game 1 that was all I needed to hear.

If KD was so selfish because of his shot number he and Westbrook would not work well together.
