    He does not play like an "old man", that's what's scary. He's still so much better than the competition; think about it: Harden is generally considered one of the top players in the world, like him or not. Now, compare him and LeBron and you will see a huge difference in talent. Harden is 28, BTW. Looking at some of those dunks above... that should not be possible for a 33-year old player who weighs at least 250 lbs and has so much mileage. I honestly don't understand that at all. On top of that, he generally does not get hurt.

    And on top of that, he found his range and his jumper looks REALY nice. Good luck defending the guy :D

    He played the best, smartest ball of his career at 33. Just saying.

    We have the youth to extend his career. And we're looking to add even more ball handlers (Lance and rumored Evans). Lebron wont have to do what he did in the playoffs last year.

    He can take some time off if necessary. He certainly does not have to play those crazy minutes anymore.

    That was actually classy to call Ced and ask.

    Is he serious? I figured he was joking. :D

    If he actually called Ceballos, that's one classy move.

    Who the hell is Paul George...didn't he retire in Indy?

    The only man I see in OKC is Adams...rest them lames in heels. I buy that!

    I totally disagree...PG the ultimate PC p**** and people pleaser suddenly turns savage by not giving us a meeting.

    Nah, he had to tuck his tail in and run to Russ cause we didn't want him and they knew it.

    Rumors stated our offer for him was weak last summer. Some reports said we never even made an offer.

    We also traded for a 2nd max slot at the hopes of Bron getting a running mate...it could have very well been Boogie, but he unfortunately went down a couple weeks before the deadline. Still there was an outside chance at Cp3, KD and DJ.

    Pair that with the reports that a PG deal was in place to keep Ky with the Cavs and have Love dealt but it was contingent on Bron committing to staying in Cleveland and he didn't...so Pauline and her heels were sent packing to OKC.

    I totally buy that Pauline wasnt a priority of ours.

    This might be my favorite part of all this. Those 2 games are going to be FUN, and I hope in a couple years it’s more games and we meet in the Finals.

    You know what, Ireland is sort of confirming this right now on the radio. He's saying the Lakers sort of cooled on Paul George when they saw a bigger fish was potentially available and interested...

    I agree with this. It's one of the things I've been saying all along.

    Meanwhile, Little P’s OKC jersey didn’t make the top 15 in sales last year...
