Chicago's bench is just really good.

Brooks is instant offense. Gibson would start on at least half the teams out there. Hinrich isn't terrible especially when he's able to spell both Rose and Brooks. Add in a healthy Mirotic and that's pretty impressive.

Good win for the Bulls. Hope they take Cleveland down.

They probably will.

Cleveland doesnt have it without Love.

You still haven't adequately addressed why Russ doesn't have to shoot efficiently, but Wall does.

Russ is asked to do more than Wall.

 

[Heyward]

Giles, you don't get it.

Westbrook shoots the ball 30 times a game. Therefore, his 42% is more impressive!! If Wall chose to shoot the ball more instead of passing the ball to teammates for higher effecient shots, then he could be an elite player too!

Depends what your meaning of elite player is.

There's only maybe 5-6 elite players in the game depending how you think that word is to players right now.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

According to people here there are only 2 elite players. Carmelo and Harden.

Big win. Need to take both in Cleveland, though.

Man I just feel so bad for James Harden. His +/- is at zero. When he was on the bench the lead jumped to 13. Since he's come back in it's been trimmed back to 9. Josh Smith who isn't any good is +13. If only Harden had some help around him.

The Rockets are terrible they are a Harden injury away from being the Knicks.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Yeah Dwight has 20 and 10. He certainly didn't show up.

Sad for my beard-brother James Harden. Don't really care for the rest of Houston, but don't really care for the Clippers, either.

Harden has to beat a Clippers team that doesn't have Chris Paul at home. Thats not a good sign.

I dont think Ive seen a defense focus more on one player than the Clips on Harden last night. Doubled pr tripled out of every PNR and just totally ignored Brewer, Smith, Terry, Prglioni. None of those guys can hit an open shot.

If that Wouldn't have left howard in the low block one-on-one all night (and him taking adv of it) the Rockets would have lost by 30

Blake has to be the most unlikeable player in the NBA (not named Westbrook and not including guys with off the field trouble).

Never seen a stronger guy play like such a pussy.

 

[thethe]

Blakes a tremendous player. Not sure I've ever seen a big pass like him.

Regardless of the defense played Harden was awful last night. Rockets had a big lead and blew the game against a Chris Pauless Clips. Awful loss. He will bounce back though.

Still a playoff team, using BRule's logic.

According to people here Harden is the single greatest player to be on earth. Not walk on earth because he is better than that. He glides over the earth.

Or one of the top 3-5 players in basketball (and best this year)
