Even if everything else he did offensively was a waste his shooting and passing will fit right in with what GS does, no more leaving guys like Pachulia out on an island to help. I also wonder if he will accept posting a bit more. He was slowly doing that with Sacramento before moving to the Pelicans and was at the point where he was consistently drawing double teams inside. Even if he only posts as a way for GS to get a bucket to slow runs or score when they haven't in 3-4 trips, that would be enough to give them an advantage they haven't had in the past.



      His defense definitely isn't going to be a big positive especially coming off injury. But he will likely be their best defensive rebounder and can make decent enough help rotations to not be a liability. Luckily for GS that's all they really will need out of him.
      Just hope people can hold off the hyperbole/overreactions if he doesn’t look like his normal self after 1 week.

      Realistically, I wouldn’t expect him to look like his old self AND look somewhat comfortable in that system until after the All Star Break or early March at the latest.

        Proper reaction is he gets a pass because he is the GOAT. He should not do it again, at a simple labor level Monk is his employee and Michael the employer, it is unprofessional.

        Just don't do it (again).

            I bet most will be more reasonable with him individually, but if the team struggles a bit as a whole while he's getting acclimated I'm sure we will see tons of the "they can't even win games with 5 All-Stars starting".

                  First clear path I actually called correctly

                  Ball is on early.

                  Love these early big games.

                    Seriously blows my mind that Harden gets as many whistles as he does, especially ones like that when he seriously just ****ing slipped but of course it's gotta be a foul on someone, right?

                      Only LeBron can be on fire from the field (7/8) and be a **** show at the FT line (0/4) in the same game.

                        I sometimes wonder how Houston fans feel about his floppy game. I'm sure they love it.

                          You always love **** when it's on your side.

                          Reffing is pretty one-sided though, they're not letting the Lakers play D. Getting called for body contact but they're moving their feet so it ain't no damn blocking foul. Pretty much get called for breathing too hard on Harden or CP3.

                              Lakers forcing Harden to his right hand no matter what.

                                How do they call that foul on Bron when Nene is screening him for 3-4 steps. If you ain’t calling a moving screen don’t call the player trying to get away from the screen. Just a little no-call contact on those plays would be nice.
