What’s more fun than watching James Harden? Watching an angry, disrespected and motivated James Harden. Still believing he should have won last season’s NBA MVP, Harden will be playing with a vendetta against the league. That’s exciting enough, but doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface. Ty Lawson will be running the point and his speed and playmaking ability will be the catalysts to a high energy offense complemented by the likes of Dwight Howard, Corey Brewer, and Terrence Jones, just to name a few.
Defensively, Brewer and Patrick Beverley will challenge the top scorers on the perimeter in the most intense ways possible while Howard is good for several highlight blocks every game, securing the paint once he returns. From top to bottom, this team will be fun to watch!
