Who will have to adjust their game more next season: Russell Westbrook or James Harden?
Neither
Both
Dantoni
Shannon and Chris Carter know football better than basketball opinions should be limited
@TT T We Started This ISH. DONT FORGET IT
They act like this is rocket science.
Troy Duffie It is. “Houston Rockets" Science 😏
I see what you did there 😎
I see what you did there. :)
CC's back to his interrupting old self again
Yeah Cris couldn't help himself, because obviously they had the discussion off camera, and it spilled over into the broadcast hahahahaha
Time to drink... 🥃🍸🍺
Broussard and Carter will be eating those words about the Rockets making it work
eating those words!!
Horten Ojongtambia Halik
Ice cream and French fries go crazy 🔥
F**K THE WORLD righttt!! Them ninjas trippin
Cris Carter you in the hall without a ring so 🤷♂️
I had the Nick Young meme face wen he said that
@@mrRambleGamble 😂😂😂
CC consistently proves he doesn’t know what he’s chatting about
Nick showed his deficiency today too. Thinking that adding Westbrook to Harden is a 2+2=4 situation shows his lack of basketball knowledge and understanding. He has no judgment skills....just "analytics" opinions...the same deficiency that has him saying LeBron is the GOAT. Geeks who've never been one of the better players on the court don't usually add much to the conversation other than numbers analysis...it's all they got. On Nick's behalf...he is much more organized speaker than Cris...some mistake that for actual knowledge.
Sensibly Honest agreed on most counts
@@sensiblyhonest695 The idea is that Russ won't get injured as much and he takes pressure off Harden. It ain't obvious, but I think Russ makes them better given .
@@sensiblyhonest695 All you did here is throw ad hominem attacks at Nick. The question was are the Rockets better with Westbrook and the answer is obviously yes. To argue against that is idiotic when Paul was an injury prone declining player past his prime.
everytime
Look how Dame and CJ rehabbed their image with 1 good playoff run. Beard and Brodie have already had similiar runs on their own and more accomplished. Together they will be A Song of Fire and Ice (first 5 seasons)
If Westbrook becomes the point guard n Harden moves to a true SG this could work n surprise people.
No shooters, who was KD, PG13, and Oladipo... WB is the main problem here!!!
Alpha Beta PG was good but like multiple shooters not Roberson and Adams on the court with Westbrook
Alpha Beta those aren’t role players idiot, and pg13 was inconsistent his first year in okc. And the second half of this previous season. Oladipo wasn’t a consistent shooter in okc. Shooters as in role players
@Füćč Ñï99å you talking like its impossible for harden to catch the ball and shoot it like he never done it before. It's much more realistic for harden to play more catch and shoot than russ. Russ cant shoot and never could shoot its it's not just going to start dropping. Harden is a natural 2 guard so he can adjust Westbrook will make the game easier for him
Russ has way more potential to be better off the ball. That should be what he adds to his game as he gets older
Harden, obviously. Westbrook’s not just gonna stand over there watching Harden between his legs twenty times.
MrRufusRToyota and russ doesn’t dribble out the clock lol he likes to either score or get somebody the ball quick
Harden and Westbrook need to do that stance and fuse together into a player called Hardbrook or Westden like on DBZ that's the only way they can work together.
MrRusRToyata: Neither is james for russ.
Honestly, Harden should be the one to primarily adjust his game reason being his style of play of waiting for the shot clock to expire then pulling up will not at all help the Rockets going forward. Before anyone critizes Westbrook don't forget he really changed his game this past season by letting PG develop as a player giving him the scoring load and playing more as a facilitator.
Spoken like someone who hasn't watched the rockets since Dwight Howard was there.
Ibrahim Abdullah lol
The Rockets swap 35yo CP3 for Westbrook and we're really debating on whether they got better or not? CB is losing even more credibility by the day.
And everyone was saying cp was washed and had a bad year, now it was hardens fault they didn't work. Yeah aight
I totally agree with nick . They are definitely better now and I think they will put on a show and will scare a lot of teams.
Nick right!
They both have to take a step back and they know it. Russ didn’t get traded there by accident. They knew they weren’t going to win a ring on their respective teams. So they teamed up. And they will do whatever they gotta do to win. Book it. It’s hard to see now because they are the playoff scape goats lol, always feels like they come up short in the playoffs. They are tired of hearing it and will do whatever it takes to win.
well said brother
Agreed. ESPECIALLY with the Warriors always being in the way for both players. This next year is their best chance and they know that.
I hope so
@Remington Steele then tell me a player you can swap for harden on houston that can do better against that golden state team
@Remington Steele without them they wont even ake the playoffs.. remember when the rockets we loosing cause harden was out??
Ice cream and fries are actually hella good together.
I think it will be very easy they both like to play around a lot of Shooters now Westbrook has his shooters they are going to be a dangerous team just wait and see
As long as Russell doesn't take a lot of shots only when hes close to the baskets hes not a very efficient shooter at all.. Remember hes dead last in all of NBA in 3 point shooting that is an embarrassing statistic
In the first year everyone talked about how bad a fit harden and cp3 were and then they were 1st seed and cp3's injury away from winning the chip. Westbrook and Harden will be staggered a lot and play 'my turn your turn' like the 67 win rockets in 2018 did.
@@user-ts2co4ov5h he is not deadlast, quit lyying
No shooters, who were KD, PG13, and Oladipo... WB is the main problem here!!!
@@alphabeta4028 neither are sharp shooters, esp. From 3. Except maybe KD
PG and Dipo were extremely inconsistent
But we talking bout SHOOTERS, as in multiple. Russ always had that 1 legit shooter and 3 pt shooter for the past 3 years. Now Russ has almost a whole roster of pure shooters.
Chris Carter kinda seems like he’s just there for no reason this segment he’s like budging in on everything
Chris Carter always acting like he knows what he’s talking about!
He's an idiot
Houston is gonna need a real coach for this team to be successful.
I think that's really all they need at this point
Or maybe a real player🤔. Not a player that flops on every shot or needs the refs.
@@kcl7676 he doesn't flop every shot and has to most unassisted/fully contested shot made in the either NBA BY FAR
@@kcl7676 Clown
Chris went from my favourite nba analyst to I can’t even take him seriously now within 3 weeks
Dawg, but his sources!
Nick's right....they got better, & I actually remember guys saying the same thing when cp3 joined to the Rockets
Nick Right!
“And Walt Freizer is still wearing the same suits today” I’m dead 😂😂
This show is better than Undisputed for sports. Undisputed is just entertaining
Entertainment is part of the show, so I disagree that this show is better than Undisputed...
These nba duos finna be🔥🔥🔥
lol what's Cris Carter's beef with Chris Paul? Someone send him the reel
5:17 ummmm ice cream and French fries hit differenttttt ong 🔥🔥
7:16 Chris Broussard trys to say due to 🤣🤣 his voice kills me anyway 😭
Cris Carter is the weakest link.
all houston need is a real coach and they could win the chip....
Take that back
Mark Jackson or Ty Lue
Has he never had ice cream and French fries? It’s 🔥🔥🔥
Wendys fries and a chocolate frosty??
🔥🍟🍦🍫
jae Crowder is going to get added in the cp3 Russ trade and he going to the rockets I'll predict it
Ice-cream + Fries would be chronic tho.
Chris “cLiPpErS aRe OuT” Broussard
Actually, Ice Cream and Fries go GREAT together!
People should try it sometime
I like ice cream and french fries together... I thought ot was a thing
It is! Frosty and Wendy's fries
Man I'm tired of listening to CC just speak random s*** and thinks that makes it facts.
Wright looking slick af😎
I'm the only one who feels this way but I have heard from many many people around the league executives and GM's, Coaches, Players, Medical Staff, Concession stand workers, Arena maintenance operations season ticket holders that barring a last minute decision there is a 95% chance I predict something that will be 100% wrong.
Fries and ice cream are actually good together lol
I want this to work so much just so it can be a spit in the face of the NBA’s disgusting little pet project that is Oklahoma basketball
I agree 100 bro
CC Is A Gawd Awful TERRIBLE Co-Host btw...
Although everyone knew that already
Ice cream and French fries clutch asf
No need adjustments the coach needs the adjustments
When does game of zones come back?
Bruh I'm so ready for GOZ
I grew up in the Hakeem Olajuwon era. I know that the game has changed but I’d really like to see the Rockets add a somewhat dominate big man to this team. It’d have to be a modern big man that can run the floor for long stretches, but I think it would take a lot of pressure off of the guards during certain moments of the game (third quarter) and at key times during long playoff runs.
Chris Broussard "sources" 99% to the Lakers
Primarily I'm going to need Nick's barber pleaseeeeee
Does Chris Carter look like a Muppet lol😂😂😂
Chris stay taking shots at Walt Clyde Frazier and his suits...lol hahahaha
Chris need to understand that there multiple ways to win. Just because gs won it the way they won it doesn't mean that becomes the only way to win games
Yeah, but their way of winning was superior to what most have done, ever. Most successful teams were good because of superiority of 1 or 2 players with great supporting cast. Warriors won with the whole team killing you with ball movement and superior ball intellect on both sides of the ball. The ball moves faster than a human can, which Warriors are superior. Minus this last season, they were top 3 in defense, to go with their offense. Then icing of the cake, they could shoot the ball.. Warriors were great because they play the sport better than any team on a given night, less about having better players.
If I learned anything this offseason
Dont trust Chris Brossaurd about anything
I thought this was a dumb trade when I heard about it on Thursday.
I've done a 180.
Russ could be the best two guard in the league with his speed.
Harden could be the best two guard with his shooting.
The offense isn't that hard to figure out.
High Pick and roll:
When Russ handles, drive and kick to Harden for the open three.
When Harden handles Russ is cutting to the basket.
This isn't rocket science.
🤔🤔
Exactly. Its simple.
Ice cream with fries is actually pretty good :D
Everyone was saying the same thing when Chris Paul was traded there. That team was an injury away from dethroning the Warriors.
Iso ball. Iso ball. Iso ball.
It's going to be hard to watch the Louston Lockets, this year.
CP3 IS A HALL OF FAMER RESPECT THE MAN!!
“The show wouldn’t last long”. 😂😂
One Trick D'Antoni
Finally brousard with some logical analysis!
Poor Nick
Anybody remember when all the talk about CP3 when he joined Houston was the same talking point? How the move didntmake sense and how it wouldn't work? Now they're saying the same thing about Westbrook. I'm not buying it. They'll make it at least to the 2nd round.
Rockets can definitely be in the top 3 in the east as long as they stay healthy.
West
7:14 Broussard said doodoo (for dookie)
You can have french frys with ice cream more then mashed potatoes though 😂 🍟🍦
CC THE ADULT VERSION OF COUSIN SKEETER 😂
Does anybody care about this guy's opinion.. he's ruined it why do they keep force-feeding us him.. he ruined his credibility
Quit viewing anything that he appears on and there’s a higher chance he gets removed🤷🏻♂️
Harden is essentially a better version of Paul George. Offensively anyway. Russ is an incredible playmaker and will feed Harden the ball a lot. Harden will average 30/6/6 and Westbrook will average 24/10/12. The Rockets will be stronger for sure.
j0epark1 and be out in the second round. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😭
Johnny Gleason 💯
Johnny Gleason Can’t be mad at that cause the West is SUPER stacked. Just saying they got a good chance still
Nobody wants to see that backcourt, and dont sleep on Capela
5:26 CC's never tried dipping his Wendy's french fries in a chocolate frosty. If he did, his opinion would be different.
5:19
Wendy’s French fries and a frosty go together
Cris Carter interrupts too much. It's annoying.
The most important question is how do Westbrook & Harden each get 30 shots a game and still have enough lobs for Clint Capela?
Never thought I'd see Russ in another team shirt 🚀
time to wave Chris Broussard
Lol jesus when chris and cris are together they dont listen
I'm so happy when they don't show Nick in the thumbnail and then, there he is.
I hate cris carter lol
same
He been way out of line lately
Yeah who doesn't like French fries and ice cream. It's a great combo!
@@seanhinkley4350 bruh I'm going to Wendy's today to get a frosty 🍫🍦and fries 🍟 fym
Hate is a strong word. You are probably annoyed by him.
Wendy’s fries and vanilla frosty go together lol no cap
No matter what the fit or the system is, replacing Chris Paul with Russell Westbrook, in any one of last year's playoff scenarios, is a great move for the Rockets. They now have a much better and different option to go to.
I believe Westbrook will need to adjust. He's in Harden's home (Rockets). Westbrook is the new-comer. He can't come there and think he can take over. He now has to play a role, the 2 spot role. OKC he was the LEAD guy, ok LEAD, but here and now a change has to come. I don't believe Westbrook would pass it as much as Harden would to him.
CC is so right, they open the door for everyone lol, Carmelo, Dwight, Chris Paul, probably PG13 would make it as he is even if he was 34 about to retire, etc.
my main concern is the coaching. the offense needs to have more ball movement. i think harden and west can both play off ball
let harden run point and make harden playo ff ball. and when they need big shots let harden iso and do his thing
Well if you using French fries and ice cream it’s a different story...have you ever dipped a Wendy’s French fries in their frosty?...because that works
I’m a big nick Wright fan. But I think his defense of the rockets has a lot to do with their GM and he and nicks relationship. Now, they’ll (the rockets) will be talented and will make the playoffs but I don’t see how this works well enough for any kind of playoff success
If Harden plays more off ball, and Brodie penetrates and beasts on defense, they dominate. Only Clippers can try to defend that backcourt, and Playoff P aint all that
Play them 50/50. 1,2 punch. Harden would even have enough energy to defend.
I'm not sure why people are sondown on this pairing. People were using these same arguments when Morey traded for Chris Paul, and that turned out pretty well.
they'll figure it out.
a lot of people like french fries and ice cream together
You know what is fxking annoying? If you can step back shoot and shoot with a person all up on you, why can't you can catch and shoot?
1:46
Nick Wright prays to Lebron James at night lmao
Just because you dont like ice cream and french fries at the same time.. does not mean the other person does not like ice cream and french fries together. Stop using your feels to project what a team can or can not do next season.
why is cris carter even an analyst smh
CC never been to McDonalds and dipped his fries in his mcflurry... ice cream and fries are bomb.
Why do they act like basketball is not a game of adjustments?? Why do they think they cant adjust?
I think one thing that everyone is failing to realize is
If Westbrook's has the hot hand
Westbrook can take over
And harden can get some easier looks/catch his breath because the best defensive player for the other team wont be on him every play
Same thing vice versa
If the rockets went against the Raptors in the final
Danny green would have had to guard harden/Westbrook instead of Kawhi
Chris has never had Wendy's french fries with a Frosty
In order for them to work it would be best to make the ball go through Westbrook.
fantasy sport dweebs think adding great players is ALWAYS the best strategy, but the best teams are more than the sum of their parts
Chris keeps mentioned D-Wade as an example of a poor three point shooter so I had to look it up cause it didn’t feel right. I was wrong. Did anyone else realize he was a 29% career 3P shooter? That’s bad.
How many times has Broussard been wrong?
