Sure he can. Lots of average guys win titles. Will he? Who knows. His prime coincided with a GS dynasty and other top super teams.MuckRaker96 said:

One of the more painful sports what-ifs I've encountered.
I wish Westbrook was smart enough to realize he sucks at shooting 3s. Or I wish the Rockets leadership had the assertiveness to make him stop shooting them.
Much better 2nd quarter than 1st
Russ is looking much better tonight
Lazy effort here to start the 4th. Letting these guys make it a game.
One nice thing about pissing off China is we got rid of the Chinese city jersey
Suns are going to ask for a replay. Mclemore fouled out but stayed in the game
Sleepwalking W. Loved Booker trying to start **** with Harden. Sit your baby face lookin a** down
Good win. Got to beat the teams you are supposed to beat.
McLemore has been balling. Russ was much better tonight.
Okay, I'll bite. I know that we Mavs fans lurk here and y'all will lurk a bit on our thread.
I've never liked James Harden, back from his days at OKC. When we took him and Russ out during our run, it was such an awesome ride especially coming back to win that series.
That said, he's obviously an amazing offensive player. But I have to ask, do you like that he was 8-27 tonight? And 3-17 from three? What the **** is that?!?
Is just getting the points enough? Do you really like your best player just throwing up shot after shot and volume shooting to good numbers?
Rockets fans obviously will take it, but is he what's good or bad about the league now?

**** off.
That's my answer.
And I don't give a single **** what's "good" or "bad" for the league.

He shoots 34% from 3 (BETTER THAN SAVIOR LUKA). This equates to 51% from 2. It's an efficiency thing. Some nights he's 11/18 and the only reason we win. Some nights he needs other guys to pick him up some.

The greatest player in the league can do what he wants.

I was with you until "is it bad for the league?".
How is James ruining the league? Because he takes too many 3s? Because he knows how to get people to foul him? Steph Curry and MJ already utilized similar strategies, but they didn't ruin the league.
If you are curious about how it impacts our fan experience, then you are asking a reasonable question; however, to act like James is damaging the league is just silly. The rules made James, not the other way around.
If you are worried about someone ruining the league you should look at Leonard and LeBron James whose free agent activities threaten to undermine the true NBA fan experience.

If you don't like it, then don't watch it. It's that simple.
At least you didn't hide your bias at all, so kudos for that.dave94 said:

To me, Harden is a must watch. He has off nights from an efficiency standpoint, but guess what? So does every superstar in the league. He has become a better defender, and any given night he can go off for 50 or 60. He has been in the running for MVP for several seasons in a row now, and constantly turns into a human highlight reel. Harden is great for the City of Houston, he's great for the franchise, he's great for Rockets fans, and I am starting to think he is great for providing tears from his detractors/haters.

You think we give a **** enough to lurk on the Mavs thread.
As for is James ruining the league...gtfo with that. Dude won't be great every night but when he is cooking there isn't a better player to watch in the NBA. That's why we are on national TV quite a bit. Every other player in the league has off nights but the difference is James won't stop shooting. And he probably shouldn't.
Just enjoy the ride, James won't be in his prime forever.
Mavs won a title? I always forget that they are an historically bad franchise.
Luka 10/24 tonight and 3/12 from 3. Bad shooting night must mean he's ruining the league.

Touch rate is highest in the league. What a ball hog. Absolutely ruining the game.
Like.....you wouldn't even BELIEVE how I care about whether or not Harden's playstyle is "ruining the league".
YOU WOULD BE SCARED OF HOW LITTLE I GIVE A DAMN.

So they basically said that two points not counting didn't directly affect the game. Trash.
"Sufficient time to overcome the error" is a bad argument that journalists and bloggers can take but the commissioner of the league should avoid. If the game had been tied at the time, would this still be the case? Or is it just because the Rockets were up a bunch at the time? How much time left would be "insufficient"? This brings in a whole extra layer of gray that the NBA doesn't need.

Tickets for tonight are going for next to nothing...lots of seats 50-75% less than face.
For anyone looking to go to a cheap game, this is a good option. Good tip time too.

So it turns out that the "he didn't challenge within 30 seconds" bull**** that Guitarsoup was trying to throw at us was in fact bull*****
Silver admitting they ****ed up but the declining to fix it is also bull***** It's just one game but we got hosed here.

So why have replay at all? A missed 2 or 3 pointer call shouldn't be overturned in the first quarter because there's ample time to make up for it according to that logic.
What did you want them to actually do?
