    1. 3 guys on our bench could start on your team. 2. Sans Harden, your bench is average.
    1. No they wouldn't.

    2. No it isn't.

    Don't know how you can knock a bench for playing too good of defense, but Ive seen stranger arguments on this forum. Sure they don't come in and light it up, but once again youre only referring to Harden.
    Because they can't consistently score. Sorry If I didn't make that clear.

      I see Westbrook is still a selfish, low IQ-ed loser.

        I would give Deng the nod over Harden, Harden may be more offensive gifted than Deng, but Deng is better All-Around and when hot he gets it done on the offensive end.

          On the contrary. On this night, he's a winner.

            I can see the argument. I'd rather have Harden though. He can initiate the offense, run the pick and roll, play off the ball, and is a solid and developing defender.

            Edit: Speaking of, we look pretty bad with Harden on the bench. Wish Brooks would bring him back in.

              Come on now no they wouldn't. The only guy on our bench who could start for them is Brewer instead of Thabo. Other than that none of those other guys would start for OKC.

                Lawson is starting. Pretty sure that's been said already by GK.

                  This is the typical post from you. The "Im right, You're wrong" attitude.

                  Apparently, you watched too many drew league highlight reels and forgot that wasn't real basketball.

                  Gibson, would easily start for you. In fact, he would immediately become the most offensively gifted player in your frontcourt. Asik could start over Perkins and Brewer has already been a starter in this league and could start over Thabo. Thabo is definitely not out there for his offense.

                  Deng, Boozer, Noah. All better basketball players than Harden. You're acting like he's a MVP when he's just another athletic swingman.

                  Ill take our bench 10 times out of 10.

                  I get you dont like the Bulls, but it's getting old.

                    Lets not get carried away here, the rest of the players are very debatable in my opinion, but Asik over Perk? Perk is a defensive anchor, great post defender and quicker now that he's lost weight, while Asik is still raw...

                        Perk is also relatively useless on the offensive end.

                        Asik is already a better offensive post presence who can play with his back to the basket. A solid post defender and great rebounder in the limited time he does get.

                              I don't think that he's selfish...It's more about him trying to make something happen when he don't necessarily have to.

                                I guess. *shrugs*

                                Gibson, would easily start for you. In fact, he would immediately become the most offensively gifted player in your frontcourt. Asik could start over Perkins and Brewer has already been a starter in this league and could start over Thabo. Thabo is definitely not out there for his offense.
                                One for three. If this were baseball, you'd be a star. But no, neither Asik nor Gibson would start for OKC. And insinuating such is completely ridiculous.

                                Deng, Boozer, Noah. All better basketball players than Harden. You're acting like he's a MVP when he's just another athletic swingman.
                                Harden is better than Boozer and especially Noah. More versatile, efficient, and is consistently effective on both ends of the floor. He can take you off the dribble, he can run off screens, take over PG duties, and defend the one and two guards extremely well. He gets to the line at an extremely impressive clip, converts similarly well, and is also a competent rebounder. He has no holes in his game. He's a very good player.

                                Boozer is a ghost on the defensive end, can't hold his position in the paint, and is largely ineffective in an offense that doesn't oft utilize the PnR. He's also nullified by defenders with any sort of length.

                                Noah wouldn't star over Perkins. They offer similar tangibles, but Perkins is a better low post defender, and offers something Noah doesn't. Championship experience.

                                Ill take our bench 10 times out of 10.
                                Personally, and this is no disrespect to the Bulls, but I like seeing points on the board.

                                I get you dont like the Bulls, but it's getting old.
                                I don't like the Bulls because I find OKC to have the better bench? Lol okay.
