Westbrook a bad fit in Houston

[imdaman99]

He's not as good as he was 3-4 years ago. He has some work to do, I'm confident he will adapt his game around his buddy Harden. They will make it work. Still feels weird seeing him in a red jersey but it is what it is.

Couldn't disagree more.

Russ not dominating the ball is going to allow him to maximize the potential of the other areas if his game. I started to see flashes of it in the final preseason game.

Once him and James are fully in-sync, they're gonna be an absolute nightmare.

Not happening babyboi. Gordon is gonna have a much better season than Chuckbrick and Houston fans are gonna be crying about the difference in their minutes and want Chuckbrick to just play with the bench

Going from the biggest statwhore in the league to doing what the team needs is not gonna go well for Westbrick. Being a statwhore made his self image of a star, take that away from him and what is his identity and accordingly his role as a player? He will get his stats and get the team nowhere as usual.

As some one said, getting Harden off the ball would alleviate some of the incompatibility, but then his ego gets in the way, its on Westbrick to adapt not on him, hes the main star and #1 option, so thats not gonna happen either.

[sdot_thadon]

They both have to adapt to each other and make it work, otherwise why ask for this team or to trade for Russ in the 1st place? These guys aren't idiots and they've played together previously, I have faith they will figure it out after a few rough spots.

harden just needs to get 30 ft/g then it's all good.

Why can't Westbrook or Harden just slash off-ball like this?










Or score without ball-dominance or extended live dribble like this:








If Westbrook or Harden could score like this, then he'd fit like a glove with each other.

But why do today's players suck so bad that they must either play completely ball-dominant or completely catch-and-shoot? what about all the in-between stuff?... you know, basketball??...

Hey 3ball, you f*cking dweeb, they did it last game.

^^^ that's transition

harden and wesbrick can't score quickly like MJ in the halfcourt.. you're dreaming

they're both either live-dribble ball-dominators, or harden can catch-and-shoot

neither has the footwork or repertoire to slash off-ball or score quickly without extended live dribbles.. they infact suck compared to previous era players
