I hope the Thunder try and make a move for cousins that would be nice. Won't happen but that'd be nice.

so there's only like 4 or 5 #1's out there?
More than 4 or 5 I'm sure if I really thought about it, but not by much.

Point being though, it's hard to judge anything Harden has done in the past because he played with Durant and Westbrook. He's been extremely inconsistent this season, he's really had a limited offensive game outside of the paint, struggled from three, and has been downright awful in iso situations this season.

Mexi and Cheato DID watch James Harden in the finals last year, right?

Completely exposed...

Except I've been a Magic fan since 2001-02? Good try though

Except for the part where I distinctly remember you saying you were only a Magic fan because of Redick like two years ago.

Doesn't matter, you still ride his nuts almost as hard as gety rides Frank Oceans.

And I was clearly kidding about the Bosh thing. And all I was doing was posting a gif of LeBron that I found funny.

If JJ Redick left the Magic I'd switch my allegiance because I like JJ more than I like the Magic. But I was a Magic fan since the T-Mac/Grant Hill days.

Was LeBron completely exposed in the 2011 Finals?

Yes, I am comparing James Harden to LeBron, because it's just as ridiculous as using one series to judge a player.

Yeah, I really feel like Houston ought to have James move without the ball more. They give him too much iso and let him dribble out the shot clock way too often. Lin is more effective if the offense runs through him, and I still think Harden would get his 20+ and sometimes 30. That's good enough. Run the offense in a way that makes both effective.

Especially if his shooting doesn't get more consistent.

What do you guys define as a chucker? Kobe and Carmelo at their worst? Because I define a chucker as a player who shoots too often and isn't good enough to warrant his shot total, anyway. Think Corey Magette. Not to be argumentative, I just see this term a lot at this site and want to know what it generally means to everybody.

Efficiency is what makes someone a chucker imo. People call Kobe a chucker, but he's been at 56% in ts% for his career. Where as a guy like Michael Beasley is at 50%. It may not sound like much but in advanced stats 56% is elite and 50% is poor. Monta Ellis is another guy who people love to slobber all over because of his ppg, but his ts% of 49 and 48 the last two seasons is just awful for a scoring guard. Carmelo has been average for most of his career but this year he has a ts% of 59, which again is elite.
