these nikkaz look scary as fukk. :lupe:

Breh, the Nets tried to run a 1-2-2 zone against us last night as a Hail Mary cause it was like one of those Mario Kart speed boosters straight to the rim off the PnR:picard:

Yeah on paper, these 2 are up there with any backcourt I can remember.

They really don't fit style wise, but they are both great offensive players so I'm sure they'll figure something out... kind of like how Bron and Wade weren't the best fit offensively, but they both were so great that they figured out a system that complimented their games.

I think CP3 will have to sacrifice more tho, but we'll see.
nikkas really thought that CP3 and Harden with D'antoni wouldn't be a fukking problem... Lowkey CP3 going down early probably helped him process how he needed to adjust his game to accommodate Harden better. The first 2 games CP3 looked like he he wasn't comfortable in that offense, but since he's gotten back they look unstoppable

:wow:

I thought he played some of the next game too
:hubie:


Either way, I still think that time off where he just got to watch games from the sideline benefited him a lot as far as adjusting to playing with Harden

cant wait for GS to crush these nikkas dreams.
With the way GS is playing rn, I dont think they're the basket you want to give all your eggs to. If Stephen keeps this gimmicky train going and we get more of Klay having to carry his load on the offense end, then Harden faces less pressure and CP0 might finally be able to win the 1 on 1 against Wardell. Id say that series all depends on Steph's health. Best belee if hes hurt, they're gonna put that 3 guard lineup with Eric often as possible and try to force the action that worked so well opening day. I think i'd have to take their best closing line up against a GSW lineup that has to over exert to pick up Steph's slack.
