There are a lot of talks about how Harden and Westbrook would work. I'm trying to figure is out as well and running some simulations in my head Grin

Probably they will work out as we haven't seen the game for this season. We will see on how they will go along with each other and as long as no one will allow his ego to turn massive inside the court, they should be fine.

Harden will probably do most of the dribbling and outside shooting while Westbrook will be cutting the lane and dunking more often.

Yeah Harden works better with his outside the ring shots while Westbrook is strong under the ring.

What comes to my mind is "Are they really will work?"
For me, they are not will be a good tandem but still, who knows? Or maybe Russell Westbrook will be the reason why James Harden will leave the Houston Rockets? I really want to see how their tandem will work second after the Lebron James/Anthony Davis tandem.

A lot of teams now are having some Dou-Superstars. This will be a good season for NBA again. Let's wait for it Wink

I'm super excited for the future games with these new line-ups.

I think that they will make some adjustments on their individual game for the good of the team as they are not kids anymore. If they want to win a championship ring they must make some sacrifices and i know that they can surprise everybody around the association.

Its like people are completely forgetting that Harden, Westbrook, and Durant played together in OKC. Harden can play just fine off the ball and they may be more suited towards that playstyle. No matter what they still can't compete with Lakers and Warriors though.

Yeah that is one point to consider.
But let us also face the truth.
Both have been a superstar in their own team and both are also ball hog.

With plays of Mike D'Antoni who will really make the plays?
One more point to consider into why these two doesnt match into one team. They both dont have the ability to move without the ball.
Unlike Curry and Thompson, those two dont really want to be dribbling to much.

I guess we will really have to see it before we can judge. The first 10 games will tell if there is a conflict.

It's something I would not agree with, the warriors is not gonna be the same without Durant and the Lakers still hasn't prove anything yet, I don't underestimate the Rockets capability here, let's just see what will happen when season opens.

LOL. For sure! The Rockets appear to be wasting money on Westbrook. I guess they don't need a Westbrook in their team. Harden is more than enough man to lead. But here comes another leader.

We might be seeing the first ever jump ball between teammates. LOL! Grin

I'm thinking the same thing Grin

. Westbrook is a PG and Harden is an SG and can play as a PG as well, so what gonna happen if they're both inside? There would be an imbalance for sure not mentioning that these players are starving for an MVP spot so expect that probably one of them get more selfish inside the court which may ruin their harmony as a team.

I really hope this won't happen lol Grin

That's what I think about Westbrook. The team management may have made a bad idea of bringing Westbrook to Houston though. Eventhough he is a good player in his position but Houston has James Harden who we know lead the team and I don't think Westbrook will follow the lead of Harden.

It may not be a good idea but if i am in the Rocket's front office i would do the same, give this a chance as nothing had worked before this. Paul is a very good point guard but they struggle to make the finals so with this tandem, maybe some miracle will work wonder for them.

Well, Harden's doing the hogging so, the seconds of them trying to score, Harden is dribbling the ball taking it for himself. That is the reason why I Westbrook and Harden should team up, a hogger and a record-"breaker". That would be a good argument every game.

Harden will choked in the playoffs, he cannot carry his team alone, he need another superstar playing with him and he got it now.
Let us not conclude early because we don't know what this team would become with westbrook on board, they have the talent so it's not impossible for them to beat good teams in the NBA.

I think because most people believe that Westbrook would not help improve the Rockets, we will all be wrong when the regular season officially starts, I hope so.

Westbrook and Harden played together since they were kids, they know how they play and they know their own styles as well, they are not worried about it so why should you be.

I didn't know about that, I've been following the NBA for many seasons but never had time to get to know about them with their backgrounds. If this would finally be for the good of Rockets then there will a chemistry for the both of it which will result as a team. I don't want to assume base on that history but it's also possible that there's something that has changed for both of them. Two superstars, we'll wishing all the best for this tandem and for Rockets though.

Ain't sure how this two Stars will have a good chemistry not unless they are now matured enough to adjust with the type of games that they have, Westbrook and Harden are both good for individual talents, we will witness what adjustment they both willing to take in order to gain more winning chances.

Right now Westbrook knows that he is coming to hardens team and he won't be trying to be the alpha dog there for sure but even if he does their styles are super different from each other.

But this is different though, this is not the backyard basketball arena. So you can't compare them as kids and as NBA superstars right? As NBA fans of course we can give our own analysis because we have witnessed how they grow as a player. But we can't discount that fact that he also played with Kevin Durant and we all know how it ended.

Me as well, the first time I witnessed them playing was with the OKC when harden was still a rookie that time, but they have the big 3 already and they reach in the NBA finals that time but unfortunately dominated by Lebron's team.

I also think that playing this time is different since when they were still a kid they are not professional, now they are holding a record and they are chasing for a big mission which is to be in the NBA Finals and that is a major goal for every legit superstar.

Harden is known for his unathletic smart skilled plays whereas Westbrook is known for his explosive physical style of play, one will do one thing and the other will do something else, since there is two people who are super talented on the team opposing teams will hard time doubling anyone, you could even focus on harden when Chris Paul was on the team but if you do that now than Westbrook will make you pay.

Yes they might know each other since them teaming up in OKC but is that really enough to tell that their chemistry is way better compared to what they have with their previous line up? Because really chemistry is not something that cannot be developed all teams have that and San Antonio Spurs during the last few seasons showed that even if they have big roster changes they still developed their players to be good with one another. Westbrook and Harden on the other hand both of which are thirsty to carry the ball shows that one to give up their previous role for the other.

Speaking of first pick, Zion is injured? It may not be that serious but I think that can be dangerous for the team in the future games.

If I am correct, his injury is just bruised knees. SO, there is nothing to worry about that. The challenge will be in the coaching staff of Pelicans how will they train zion to become fitter. In my opinion, he is overweight for the way he plays. He can easily bust those knees if he keeps on playing like that without proper weight management.

Let us not over judge them for now. They know their circumstances right now and I hope they act to it accordingly. They are already aging and still chasing a championship ring. I hope they'll prioritize the game and championship over personal ego. Let's see when the season commence how these two will blend together.

With all his previous antics, It is becoming apparent that most team would not want Chris to lead their roster. The guy is also past his prime already and keeps getting injured. It's not worth it to keep his expensive contract.

I get it with the expensive price. But to say he is not worth it?
Cmon! CP3 is one of the best pointguards out there. Let us face it. He just dont have that right team to win a championship.

If healthy he's one of the best on the court but base on the Rockets decision and the Thunder's plan to off load, he might not be worth the risk. We can have a different opinion on whether or not he had the right team, he had a good chance to lead the clippers and also the rockets.

Here is the thing.
He is not being maximized anymore. The soars are coming from all of that.
He was used to being a player that runs like 30 minutes of his entire time in the floor. (Clippers Moment)
Now, he was brought to Houston. Harden is there which makes more minutes than him, he was just made as a back up.
A lot will soar when that happens. The physical body is not used to it.

Same thing will happen to Westbrook. No doubt about that if he will be made as a substitution of Harden.

Now that there is a new team taking over the champ title then we can expect that there will be team moving from a certain activity or posts then for sure that there are many players now will be moved in accordance to the players likeand decision of transfer to other team.

Besides, movement of the good players in thr NBA will make a balance through other teams and then new players will be notice also as the new season for basketball assiciation will commence.
