NBA Weekly Thoughts [10/30-11/4]

[SuperKevin]

Harden will fizzle out

Obviously he won't continue to average 40 ppg while shooting like 60% from the field but he should still be an exciting player to watch

[KNUBB]

When did I say he was faking an injury? Granted if I had to play for a shithole like New Orleans I would think about it.

Anthony Davis already faking injuries

I hate you all

When you watch Harden now it is amazing at how easily he gets to the hoop.....he basically scores at will, so he should finish top 5 in scoring. In OKC he really didn't have this sort of freedom. It makes me wonder if OKC should have kept Harden and traded Westbrook.

Jeremy Lamb + 2 first round picks (especially when you draft as well as OKC has) > James Harden

But James harden won't 'fizzle out'. He's been a special player since he entered the league, and has shown the ability to take over late games many times. His PPG total is of course gonna drop, but he's still gonna be competing for the scoring title by the end of the season.

If Jeremy Lamb lives up to his potential he will be a great player. Either way they made out well with the trade and are set for several years. I wonder what they could have got for Westbrook.

[Houston]

Best person to come to Houston since Wade Philips.

[Argath]

Kevin Seraphin on the Wizards is starting to finally develop. I've been wondering why the organization was so in love with the guy but after watching him work KG all night tonight I can finally see the potential. If only the wizards could get some outside shooting they might be ale to hang with teams in the East. Brad Beal and Ariza had terrible nights and I can't wait till fucking Price is relegated to the bench again.

HAWNETS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!

I may just be a homer, but I honestly believe Toronto can be one of the eight Eastern Conference playoff teams this year (admittedly, just squeaking in).

Wasn't happy with their 2nd quarter tonight, but otherwise they outplayed a supposedly better team.

Casey really has them working harder on D ... even Bargnani.

With the NHL locked out, I can now devote my Saturday night sports to the Toronto Raptors. Thankfully, all their games are on free TV.

[Point Blank]

I'm still not used to seeing "BKN" when I'm looking at scores.

[Rudi]

Fuck the Cavs second unit. Giving up a 25-5 run is on some bum shit.

[Realist]

Love this new look Magic team. These guys play hard. 2 starters out tonight and they are still playing well. Not sure how good they will be but I definitely don't think they are one of the worse teams in the league, so far, this season.

S/N: hope they get some love in 2k13 if they continue playing well. It's painful playing with them

[KNUBB]

Hornets have some days off until their next game(Wednesday). Here's hoping Eyebrow gets cleared
