Houston only play at the 18th highest pace in the League. His numbers aren't inflated at all because of the D'Antoni boost, Rockets are just playing incredibly efficient basketball right now & look Godly with Harden on the floor.

The only difference between this year and previous seasons is D'Antoni is actually a real coach. The entire team is finally in sync and on the same page. Offensive sets are actually being run, there's way more movement off the ball this year & the younger guys (KJ, Dekker, Harrell) are actually getting shots. Eric Gordon is also the best offensive player Harden's ever played with in Houston, dude is a sniper :banderas:

The team should also be way better defensively once Beverley returns & if Capela grows some balls & finally starts rebounding.

They are the 2nd worst defensive team in the league right now. You need more Beverly and Capela to be DPOY material for them to be way better defensively.

Harden was on two 50-win teams in Houston. Offensively the team could score with just about anyone.

He doesn't need another superstar player (which I read to mean as a scorer) to win.

He needs to play better defense and so do his teammates. So it's not entirely on him.

Every single year since Harden has been on the Rockets, the team has allowed 100 points per game or more to opposing teams.
But in the playoffs you always need more than one player that can create

It's skewed because the Cavs couldn't miss the other night & they didn't rebound against the lakers. They played great D against the Mavs & Knicks.

There's just too many good/great defenders on this team when healthy (KJ, Nene, Harrell, Capela, Ariza, Beverley) to be the worst in the NBA. They won't be elite or anything but they should be around 15-20.

Harden went into the batcave in the offseason to to hibernate for you nigs

He dipped his beard in the juices of 1000 Houston thots so that he could power up

He removed all traces of Kardashian residue from his bloodstream

He is ready!!!!
:dead:
