With Friends Like James Harden, Who Needs Enemies?
December 3, 2020 Josh Buckhalter
Polarizing is a word that fittingly describes the kind of player James Harden is. Some view his style of play as innovative and unique; a skill set he has honed through practicing tough shots and understanding the rule book. Others would call it a detriment to the game. An abuse of poorly written and unevenly called rules. The amount of discussion coming from either side, though, shows just how high of a profile Harden has.
So with news breaking on Wednesday that the Houston Rockets and Washington Wizards had agreed to swap star point guards Russell Westbrook and John Wall. It's been reported that Harden and Wall have worked out and played in open runs together for some time now. The move has received all sorts of reactions, just like anything else Harden does.
Harden Running Out of Friends to Help Him
Okay, But Why?
Some say this is a move designed to keep Harden interested in staying in Houston after their recent attempts to get over the hump in the postseason have all fallen short. We can go back to the Dwight Howard experiment but let's instead focus on Chris Paul's time in H-Town. After much consternation about how they would coexist being as ball-dominant as they are they worked well enough for folks to hypothesize that if Paul doesn't get hurt the Rockets might make some noise.
Well, Paul got shipped out after two seasons, one of which they lost to the eventual champion Golden State Warriors in seven games. Injuries had always been a part of Paul's history so an injury possibly derailing a playoff run is plausible. When Harden told reporters after they got bounced in 2018 that he knew what had to be done, the writing was on the wall.
Houston shocked the world again making another trade for what most considered an unmovable contract when they swapped CP3 for Russell Westbrook. After failing to click with the Point God, Harden now had his childhood friend for a running-mate. Unfortunately, Westbrook's style caused the Rockets to change up their roster, going with a small-ball approach that had the tallest person on the floor for them often standing no taller than 6-foot-7. That ended with a five-game series loss in the second round, again to the eventual champion, this time in the Los Angeles Lakers.
Now, even with Daryl Morey no longer in the fold, the Rockets have swapped unmovable contracts in a move that is receiving mixed reviews. Some argue the Rockets won because on top of keeping Harden happy, they get rid of Westbrook whose style isn't conducive to winning. Others will argue the Wizards won because of the off-the-court issues Wall has had as well as the complicated relationship with (and reaction to the team building around) Bradley Beal. Oh, and Wall, who hasn't played since the 2018-19 season, is returning from serious injuries including a torn Achilles.
Same Difference
The tale of the tape is quite interesting. Wall is the bigger of the two and has the higher assist average. This is more than a little surprising given Westbrook's three-year run of averaging a triple-double. But Wall had a three-year stretch where he averaged better than 10 dimes per game. The difference is Wall has never been the kind of shot-seeking scorer that Westbrook is.
Brodie has eight seasons (out of 12) averaging greater than 18 shots per contest. Wall, aptly nicknamed 'Optimus Dime', has but one. Westbrook is the more voluminous scorer too, but Wall takes the efficiency advantage everywhere but at the free throw line.
Perhaps ideally, in the mind of Harden and Rockets brass, is that Wall can be a happy medium between Westbrook's explosiveness (a nice compliment to Harden's lull-you-to-sleep style) and Paul's pass-first mentality. That is if he is happy and focused. Going to a competitive situation in Houston after being in the tumultuous one in Washington will help. As will the singing of Demarcus Cousins; a friend of Wall's going back to their day at the University of Kentucky.
We're all missing the forest for the trees, though. It doesn't matter if this will work for the Rockets (it won't). Nor does it matter who won the trade (the blogosphere). No, what matters here is that Harden has cycled through a fair amount of friends for teammates and hasn't figured out the right fit yet. At some point the question needs to be asked if building around him is worth it.
The Real Culprit
This isn't an attack on his playing style, either, outside of his willingness to be complimentary. There aren't many, if any, situations where Harden would be a second option but he could still benefit from being a better compliment on the floor to his team. Instead of standing in the corner watching the action when off the ball, become a better, more active cutter. Instead of dribbling out the shot clock on every possession, allow yourself to be more of a part of a system that get more guys involved.
Yes, star players are supposed to touch and shoot the ball more. Harden's 36.3 usage rate in 2019-20 is second only to Michael Jordan's '86-'87 season (38.3) in NBA history. With nowhere close to the hardware as 'His Airness', and a history of fading in the postseason, that number could stand to drop even if only a little bit. The last player to win a championship with a usage rate in the 30s was LeBron James in 2012-13 with the Miami Heat. Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, two of the most efficient scorers in NBA history, haven't even done it.
It's a big deal that the Rockets and Wizards pulled this trade off. We just need to recognize what the real story is here: Harden is the problem, not his teammates. At some point, it is no longer everybody else, it's you. We are seeing this response to Paul George who is implicated in reports of dysfunction in the Los Angeles Clippers organization and now taking thinly-veiled shots at former coach Doc Rivers.
Harden's passing of the buck isn't as blatant as George's was. But, even with the statements before the CP3 trade, the constant cycling of supporting cast speaks volumes. Talking heads have just overlooked it because the Rockets keep putting together intriguing groups. This time though, with a move that might be best described as lateral, we might be reaching the end of this case study. It's been theorized that the Wall and Cousins moves are independent of a decision to move Harden, though that seems unlikely.
Rough Being Friends with Harden
We saw Harden slapping Paul's hand away on the sidelines and read the reports that Harden and Westbrook had bumped heads on occasion. These incidents get viewed through the lens of isolated incidents or as the fault of the other guy. Maybe rightfully so, none of the aforementioned teammates were choirboys. But the common denominator, and dominator of the situation, is James Harden. As a player who has been vocal about his scoring accolades, he needs to be a leader and own up to and adjust his ways.
Unless, of course, he truly doesn't care about winning

Chris Paul Changed His Narrative Without Winning a Ring
October 2, 2020 Josh Buckhalter
Just a few short years ago Chris Paul, one of the greatest point guards of his generation, if not in the history of the NBA, had a decaying reputation.
Paul Changed Narrative Without Championship
Everyone acknowledged his talent. He has a supreme basketball IQ, can score on anyone in any number of ways, and was an absolute floor general always in command of the situation at hand.
Some of those things, however, began to work against him in recent years. So much so that there was actually a debate on whether he or Rajon Rondo was the worse teammate. Rondo said it's Paul, for what it's worth.
Now, Paul isn't exactly innocent of all the charges brought against him in the court of public opinion. He has had moments where his passion has gotten the best of him. Videos like the one below do him no favors.
No one likes to lose, but that is a reaction one wouldn't even expect to see at a bitty ball game, let alone from a veteran NBA player. Sorry, not just a veteran. A ten-time All-Star, nine-time All-NBA and All-Defensive Team selection, six-time steals leader, .four-time assists leader Oh, he was also Rookie of the Year and, obviously, First Team All-Rookie selection.
That's a helluva resume for someone who does what we see in that video. It wasn't an isolated thing either. We all remember the story of Paul trying to storm the Los Angeles Clippers locker room with his Rockets teammates.
Or the image of his former teammate on the Rockets James Harden swatting his hand away during a timeout.
It hasn't just been attitude questions surrounding Paul. There have also been charges of choking and being injury prone. The latter has more credibility but neither is really on target. Interestingly enough, all of the things held against him have always been present in his NBA career.
But he got the benefit of the doubt in New Orleans, be it due to youth, the small market, or the general belief that he didn't have enough around him to compete.
That changed when he arrived in L.A., but no the before he got one more image booster from the NBA. At the time, the league controlled his team, the Hornets, and David Stern made the infamous decision to nix a deal that would have had Paul joining the Lakers and teaming with Kobe Bryant.
Instead, CP3 wound up with the Clippers and began the era known as Lob City, a high-flying circus of a group that included Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. Doc Rivers was the last remaining piece from that era

— Ballislife.com (@Ballislife) September 24, 2020
Unfortunately, injuries continued to be an issue not just for Paul but also for Griffin. The group fell short of expectations, much in the same ways Paul's Hornets did. This time, though, the spotlight was much brighter.
People began to focus on his injury history. His past playoff performances began to be scrutinized with his statistical output being undercut by those clutch moments where he came up short.
We even reached a point where his style of basketball was being questioned as conducive to winning. Pundits once lauded his ability to control the game and now they condemned him for dribbling the air out of the basketball.
Six seasons in L.A. Six straight playoff appearances. Zero Conference Finals berths.
2019-20 All-NBA teams:
First: LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Doncic, Anthony Davis, James Harden
Second: Damian Lillard, Kawhi Leonard, Nikola Jokic, Chris Paul, Pascal Siakam
Third: Ben Simmons, Jayson Tatum, Jimmy Butler, Rudy Gobert, Russell Westbrook
— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) September 16, 2020
This was after three trips to the playoffs in New Orleans with similar results. Again though, that spotlight was so much brighter in La La Land. He was a veteran and nine-time All-Star. At some point, explanations become excuses no matter how legitimate they may be.
That's how significant the trade to Houston was. It not only showed that Paul was still a desired commodity (something that had been publicly in question), it allowed him to show his game was malleable. If he could play with Harden, who has a "ball hog" rep of his own, then surely the talking heads were wrong about Paul.

But his Houston tenure went just like his previous two stops. Plagued by injuries and disappointment.
Though he did exorcise his demon of not reaching the Conference Finals. When Harden said he knew what had to be done following the Rockets elimination in 2019, many of us knew what was coming. We saw him slap Paul's hand.
Houston traded CP3 to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Russell Westbrook. It was a deal that no one would have predicted months earlier but was made necessary following the surprise request and subsequent trade of Paul George. It was actually an idea bandied about back in 2011 when Paul was still with the Hornets. Of course, the circumstances were different this time around with both players looking to rehab their images.
The talk was OKC was just a pit stop, a temporary situation until he inevitably got dealt to a contender; namely the Miami Heat. The Thunder had gutted their team moving Westbrook and George, the latter of which bought a bevy of draft picks, young guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Danilo Gallinari back in return. This was clearly an organization transitioning to rebuilding mode.

Until they weren't.
ESPN gave the Thunder a .2 percent chance of making the postseason. Not only did they make it, but they were also the fifth seed and took the Rockets seven games. It was yet another first-round exit but you would be hard-pressed to find anyone who would attack Paul, who had 19/11/12 in the deciding Game 7.
On the contrary, Paul earned recognition for bringing together the ragtag bunch. He was, at least partially, credited with the development of Gilgeous-Alexander and making the trio of he, SGA, and Dennis Schroder work.
We know about Paul's mentorship of young players off the court and all he does in the community but this was the first time in a long time that he was in that role and he seemingly crushed it. So much so that there has been talk that new Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan owes the fact that he got another job so quickly to Paul and what the Thunder did on the floor.
Giannis Antetokounmpo's meeting with Bucks ownership over the weekend also included the Greek Freak giving a list of desired players of whom he'd like to be teammates with.
Chris Paul was on that list, I'm told. pic.twitter.com/MbFlN4disD
— 👑📍Brandon 'Scoop B' Robinson, M.A. (@ScoopB) September 16, 2020
Talks now, while the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat battled to and in the NBA Finals, is rife with players requesting their teams trade for Paul and positive speculation of reunions with former coaches.
In stark contrast to just two years ago when the book on his legacy was thought to have already been written. A player so many thought was selfish and played a losing brand of ball is suddenly a sought-after piece for a contender and mentor for teams like the Bulls, who have young point guard (and Paul mentee) Coby White.
Chris Paul legitimately changed the entire narrative around him without winning a ring.
Don't think that's been given up on though.

Holy Bubble: Exploring Duo Dynamics in the NBA
August 9, 2020 Josh Buckhalter
The NBA departed from the "Big 3" formula of roster construction this season, leading to a slew of dynamic duos. The shutdown (and restart sans fans) means a financial crunch is coming; we could see this trend continue for the foreseeable future. So, let's take a look at some of the top duos around the Association.
Duo Dynamics in the NBA
The King and Brow
We begin with the inspiration for this piece. Anthony Davis might be the best teammate LeBron James has ever played with. Perhaps you've heard, but James is in Year 17 of an illustrious career. His play, he's averaging 25 points, eight rebounds, and leading the NBA with 10 assists per game. It's important to note James leads the NBA in assists because Davis leads the Los Angeles Lakers in nearly every other statistic.
It's understandable, then, that some would take umbrage with James garnering the MVP consideration. How can James be the best player in the league this year when he "isn't even the best player on his own team"?
Aside from the Lakeshow looking completely lost without Bron on the floor, you mean? Take Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets, for example.
With the Lakers clinching the 1-seed already, LeBron sat. Houston, though, was without Russell Westbrook (quad) too. This should have been a fairly even matchup, if not slightly in L.A.'s favor with Kyle Kuzma active and no comparable threat for the Rockets. Turns out, Kuzma certainly did his part to uplift the team in James' absence. Davis, however, did not.
He didn't have a bad game. 17 points and 12 boards is a solid performance for most guys. But it definitely wasn't an 'MVP' performance against a depleted opponent. And it wasn't befitting of the player deemed the heir apparent to the Lakers franchise.
Anthony Davis and LeBron James are the 1st pair of Lakers teammates to each record 20 30-point games in a season since Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant in 2002-03. pic.twitter.com/6J7iRkJ8Ux
— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) July 31, 2020
This season, Anthony Davis has averaged 26.5 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game when he and LeBron are on the floor together (57 games). Without James (three games), Davis' numbers take a hit, falling to 24 points and 1.7 assists. His blocks raise, but only slightly from 9.4 to 9.7 per game. Davis averaging fewer assist sans James is probably the most surprising stat.
When they share the court, James is putting up 25.2/10.2/8.1 per contest. James, by himself, is throwing up 27.6/11.4/7.6 per.
The disparity has been even more pronounced in the bubble. James started slow, averaging 19.3/10.0/6.3 in four games and sitting a fifth before playing against Indiana. Davis was 23.2/9.2/3.8 in that same span and the Lakers went 2-3.
It was LeBron with the 20-plus point performance while AD struggled (mightily) and the Lakers lost to the Pacers on Saturday. The margin was smaller than any of their other bubble losses, though.
James has a higher offensive rating and a lower (better) defensive rating. In fact, L.A.'s defensive rating is better with Davis off the floor. Without Davis, the Lakers are 6-2 and score 121 PPG. Without James, 2-2 at 110.5 PPG. Which brings us to James, at 35, having played in more games than the 27-year-old Davis. And when you consider Davis' statistical advantages aren't as great as some would have you believe, it's not really that complicated.
The Process and Big Ben
Heading East, we find ourselves with two very polarizing players; both enigmatic in their own way. Joel Embiid might be the most dominant player in the NBA since Shaquille O'Neal when he's right; both physically and mentally. Ben Simmons is Magic Johnson-ish only bigger and faster. The lack of a jumper is a big hurdle for Simmons. For Embiid, it's always a volatile mixture of health and focus.
Together, these two can be among the most fun to watch. But there are far too many moments of a lack of spacing due to Simmons' defender sloughing off. And while Embiid has about as complete a game as you'll find in the NBA, the most important ability is availability.
So who has been more important to the 76ers? The answer might surprise you if you didn't answer "trick question".
Like in the case of LeBron and AD, we see Simmons with a higher offensive rating but Embiid has a better defensive rating. But their records are very similar without each other, though this season it has certainly favored Embiid. Maybe these aren't as good of indicators in this instance; or at least not in comparison to how they impact each other.
Embiid, in 165 games with Simmons, averages 24.9 points, 12.2 boards, and 3.4 assists. Without it's 25.2/11.6/2.9; granted in a much smaller sample size of 10 games compared to 52 the other way. For Simmons, its 15.8/8.1/8.1 with Embiid and 18.3/9.0/7.5 without.
Joel Embiid on Ben Simmons
'I want to play with him for the rest of my career'@BenSimmons25 @JoelEmbiid pic.twitter.com/c3kyuIB7YS
— dante🍇 (@DanteBabyyy) July 30, 2020
Philly is 27-25 with Simmons but without Embiid and 6-4 when the opposite occurs. Again, the sample size is an issue with deciding here.
But all of that is career numbers, what about 2020? Joel is 5-2 without Ben while Ben is 9-7 without Joel. Many will want to give Joel the nod for the higher win percentage but, clearly, after reading the first entry, you know we won't be discounting availability here.
Simmons was putting up 11.7/7.0/4.3 in three games before being shut down and having surgery for a torn meniscus. While Embiid has been a monster in the bubble averaging 30.0/13.5/3.3 and the 76ers are 3-1 in Orlando, the injury looms large. Simmons will obviously miss the rest of the season barring, perhaps, a Finals appearance.
The comparisons to Shaq aren't just hyperbole for Emiid's stature, demeanor, and dominance. It also refers to the need to have that guard or wing player to truly unlock his, and his team's, full potential.
Of course, the simpler answer is that they need each other. Ben needs Embiid to be the wrecking ball and Embiid needs Simmons to operate the crane. Together they have a win percentage well above .600, separate we see talented individuals that are missing something.
The Beard and Brodie
The Beard and Brodie were polarizing together before they were polarizing apart, reaching the NBA Finals with the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2011. But their lore has only since that time. Russell Westbrook won MVP on the strength of averaging a triple-double for an entire season (something he did two more times after) and is having his best scoring season since then.
James Harden is on his third-straight season scoring 30-plus points and actually won his own MVP the season after Westbrook. He has been vocal in his pursuit of another MVP and even went as far as to take shots at reigning (and likely repeating) MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.
This one isn't really a "who's more important" (it's Harden) as much as it is people might not realize how important Westbrook is to the Houston Rockets.
He had developed a pretty bad reputation as a guy who cared more about the stat sheet than the win column. For running off superstar teammates in Kevin Durant and Paul George (neither of which appears to be true).
Swap out Westbrook's name for Harden's and Durant/George for Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony and you can leave everything else the same.
James Harden and Russell Westbrook have surpassed Shaq and Kobe as the highest scoring duo in a season since the ABA-NBA merger 🤯
With a combined 61.7 PPG, they could go scoreless in their final four games and still surpass Shaq and Kobe's 57.5 PPG in '02-'03. (h/t @RobKSports) pic.twitter.com/0hxXNFKhU2
— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) August 8, 2020
But Houston went out and traded for Westbrook; "rescuing" him from the doldrums that were sure to hit the Oklahoma City Thunder (but never did). That sent two messages. First, it signaled Harden's willingness to adjust, even if only slightly to bring in perhaps the only point guard who would need the ball more than Paul, and was a worse shooter to boot.
The other message was that at least one organization outside of OKC felt he was the missing piece to the puzzle. If you don't think so just look at the changes made to the roster following Westbrook's addition.
Westbrook is shooting just over 25 percent from deep (yuck). He's never been a great three-point shooter, save for one season when he shot 40 percent. Houston's system is a percentages game where they only take threes or layup/dunks. They allowed some mid-range stuff when they acquired Paul but Westbrook provided the unique challenge of floor spacing.
Houston's solution was to move center Clint Capela and run an offense where the tallest player on the floor at any given moment is 6-foot-7. Think Golden State's death lineup but more concentrated.
That's a lot to change just for a pice or someone you brought in to placate the face of the franchise. Clearly, they have a much higher opinion of him than that. We'll see how it pays off.
A Fresh Pair of Jays
The youngest pair in our deep dive into duo dynamics across the NBA, Jayson Tatum entered the league with all the fanfare and continues to be the more publicized of the two. And perhaps that is rightfully so, but Jaylen Brown entered a year earlier and has developed into a very key piece for the Boston Celtics.
In case you haven't noticed, this is another one where we're more highlighting the importance of the "sidekick" than asking who is better. Though, the answer to that latter question might deserve more scrutiny than most realize.
Interestingly enough, they were both selected third overall. But the similarities don't stop there. They were both taken after the Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Lakers picked first and second, respectively.
Taytum was in contention to be the first-overall selection in '17 before ultimately going behind Markelle Fultz and Lozo Ball; a mistake that probably haunts some in the 76ers and Lakers organizations to this day. Brown was never going over Brandon Ingram, let alone number one pick Ben Simmons.
Brown's first year he averaged 6.6 points per game while mostly coming off the bench. Tatum started 80 games and scored nearly 14 points per as a rookie. Now it's worth mentioning that Brown's output jumped substantially with more playing time as a starter.
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown both scored 30+ tonight but what makes the game a little extra erotic is that 6 of Brown's 10 FG were assisted by Tatum … 5 in the 4th quarter. pic.twitter.com/vtPeE5VPI8
— Max Lederman (@Max_Lederman) August 2, 2020
More important about that season is it was Kyrie Irving's first (of two) seasons in Boston but he missed the postseason allowing Tatum and Brown to shine on the biggest stage.
Here's where it gets interesting because Tatum got all the hype for his 18.5/4.4/2.7 and, at just 19 years old, deservedly so. But Brown was no slouch. He came in just behind Tatum with 18.0 points, 4.8 boards, and 1.4 assists of his own. Brown was even the high-scorer for Boston, with a 34-point performance against the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round; a series Boston won in seven games.
We also have to consider Brown's defense. It's Tatum who has the better Defensive Real Plus-Minus, but it is Brown who regularly draws the tougher assignment. That is both in terms of individual talent as well as variety.
Tatum's maturation into a two-way player should not be overlooked by any means. But context is key and if we are going to praise one for realizing his potential on both ends of the floor, Brown might need to get those roses first. So far in the bubble, Brown is putting up the better line, but that is largely due to a horrendous first game from Tatum. Minus that game, they're within a point.
Again, this one isn't about who is better. Just, whenever we mention how stellar Jayson Tatum has been, we need to be sure to mention how important Jaylen Brown is and how far he's come.

NBA Western Conference Playoff Preview
March 5, 2020 Steven Ryan
The calendar has turned to March and the madness is about to begin. Yes, that might have been a reference to college basketball but that still doesn't change for the NBA. Last week I covered the Eastern Conference.
The playoffs bracket in the West is closer in terms of playoff positioning, but the Los Angeles Lakers sit at the top led by all-time great LeBron James. Can we consider LeBron a legend even though he is still active? We can get to that next week when I'll be diving into some of the more debatable topics this league provides its fans.
Previewing the Western Conference Playoffs
The Front-Runners
The Lakers have a sturdy 5.5-game lead on the Los Angeles Clippers who many consider the favorite to come out of the West. The Clippers, Denver Nuggets, Houston Rockets, Utah Jazz, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Dallas Mavericks are all separated by 5.5 games. These last few weeks could help win homecourt advantage for certain teams that thrive in there home arena.
Home-court advantage is going to be critical. If Denver gets home court over the Thunder (which would happen if the playoffs started today). Both teams are significantly better at home than on the road. Think about if Oklahoma City stole home-court advantage and was able to win their first-round series. That could change the outlook on the franchise.
The current seventh-seeded Mavericks actually boast a 21-11 road record, so they could play spoiler in a series. Luka Doncic is built for the playoffs. They might lose their first-round series, but there will be fireworks because of the Mavericks averaging 116 PPG, which ranks third in the NBA.
Last, Not Least
The battle for the eighth spot in the west might be the most interesting. The Memphis Grizzlies are sitting with a 3 game lead over the Sacramento Kings.
Other potential suitors for that eighth and coveted spot are the Portland Trail Blazers, San Antonio Spurs, and New Orleans Pelicans. All of these teams sit no more than four games back. The most compelling story is the upstart Pelicans who are led by rookie sensation Zion Williamson. But we have to respect what Memphis has done here. Their schedule after the all-star break was second in difficulty, and with a little over a month to go, they have a solid three-game lead. The Grizzlies are led by another rookie sensation in Ja Morant.
Look at the top-seeded Lakers. They have two of the top-five players in the league. Some are here to argue that Giannis Antetokounmpo is the best in the league and I have no qualms about it. I would be remiss to say that LeBron is still the number one player in the world given his incredible IQ, distribution, and understanding of the game and what needs to be done to win a title.
Still Up There
At this point, we are tired of LeBron and it skews our view on him in terms of greatness. In any best-of-seven series, the Lakers will have an all-time great as the best player on the floor. But will his supporting cast be able to do enough to get him to the finals?
The number-one threat to the Lakers returning the NBA Finals is the Clippers. After an intense six-game series where the upstart Clippers pushed the Warriors to the brink with inspiring play, free-agency ended with them having acquired the defending Finals MVP in Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, a two-way superstar who could help the Clipper reach the promised land. The Clippers have the star power and defensive prowess to wear the Lakers down and are 2-0 against their cross-town foe.
But this reporter has seen this before. Who remembers when the 2011 Chicago Bulls went against the Lebron James led heat? Yes I know, we have different levels of stars. And Leonard and George are lengthy defenders who can combat LeBron. But when it comes down to it in a best-of-seven, give me LeBron.
Keep an Eye On
The Nuggets and Rockets are third and fourth in the Western Conference. The Nuggets main question still remains. Do they have the star power to get to the finals? Simple answer. No.
Denver is a good team, don't me wrong. But right now they would face the Thunder in the first round; no easy out. In the second round, they would face the Clippers. They don't have the bodies to guard the likes of Leonard and George. The athleticism of the Clippers would be too much.
The Rockets are a gimmicky team trying to beat you by spreading the floor and being unconscious from the three-point line. They have the superstar power to get to the Western Conference Finals but those stars haven't punched their ticket to finals since 2012. That was when James Harden and Russell Westbrook were with the Thunder.
How It Plays Out
Throughout a seven-game series, the Rockets will be worn down. If they come out of the first round, they'll be minced meat for either the Lakers or Clippers. The bottom-four teams in the playoffs have young (to a degree), up-and-coming teams that will have their title window soon. Just not quite yet. The Thunder are the surprise of the season.
After trading Westbrook and George, everyone thought the team would tank to hopefully draft their next superstar. That is not the case. Chris Paul and company are having a fantastic season and look to ruffle some feathers in the first round. Utah is a defensive dynamo led by Rudy Gobert. Unfortunately, they do not have enough pop to get to the finals. Hopefully, they'll see Donovan Mitchell pop in the playoffs again. The Jazz are just hoping to advance to the second round.
As for the Mavericks and the Grizzlies, the only thing I want to see is the blossoming of Doncic and Morant. These two young players are on another level, and I hope to see them raise their game in the playoffs. Doncic has been in big moments for nearly a decade and you can tell in his early career he has the makings of being something special. He is currently averaging 28.5 points per game, 8.8 assists, and 9.3 rebounds.
Ja Morant is the Rookie of the Year in my opinion. Trust me I love Zion just as much as the next guy. But Ja has been nothing short of special for this upstart Memphis bunch and a playoff appearance in his rookie season is nothing but a sign of great things to come.
It is March and that can only mean one thing. The basketball world will come into the focus with the NCAA tournament and the NBA playoffs to follow shortly after. These are all the things I am looking for in this year's playoffs. If you read last week's article I chose the Boston Celtics, and for this week. I believe the Lakers will meet them in the NBA Finals, and the winner will be in next week's article.

The NBA is Getting Set for Second Act
February 21, 2019 Josh Buckhalter
The NBA returns to action Thursday and the second act is set up to be just as thrilling as the first. With that in mind, we can take a brief moment and assess some burning questions. Some are award related while others will be about playoff seeding and advancement. And then some pertain to player movement this offseason.
NBA Second Act Sure to Deliver
The Bearded Freak
This year's MVP is seemingly down to two people in most eyes, with the Houston Rockets James Harden defending his mantle against the Milwaukee Bucks Giannis Antetokounmpo. It is not an easy choice, Harden leads the NBA in numerous categories (scoring, minutes per game, box plus/minus, and PER to name a few) and mostly increased his counting stats over last year's MVP-winning effort. Likewise, Giannis has increased his numbers while leading the NBA in defensive rating, defensive win shares, and total win shares. His team also sits atop the East at the moment.
Harden leads the NBA in turnovers and some even consider his high free throw totals a knock. He leads in usage rate due to the rash of injuries the Rockets have sustained. Harden carried the team through stretches this season but even he conceded the team would not keep winning playing exclusively through him. Chris Paul and Eric Gordon are healthy and Clint Capela is set to join them, so it remains to be seen if Harden's numbers take a hit. The biggest thing working against him, specifically in this conversation, is the Rockets record. If they finish top-three and his numbers stay close, he could repeat.

— Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) February 20, 2019
The Greek Freak
Antetokounmpo — the Bucks Swi…Greek-army knife – is also seeing a jump in his stats, albeit to a lesser extent. He leads the team in points, assists, and rebounds. He is shooting a lower percentage from three and the stripe this year, but he raised his attempts per game on such shots. His biggest positives, at least for purists are his team's record and his effort on the defensive end. If they win the East it will be hard not to give the award to the best player on the best team in a conference; a feat the Rockets are unlikely to achieve.
Stats will favor Harden and even Giannis' lead in win shares is only .1 with the former's offense nearly countering the defensive edge of the latter. Harden's detractors will say he has been stat-chasing this year. It is not unfair to keep bringing up the injuries to Houston but Milwaukee just seems to be put together better and, most importantly, around the Greek Freak. That might hurt him in the eyes of some, but again, the best player on the team with (potentially) the best record may be enough to override that.
Playoff Hokey Pokey
The Los Angeles Lakers are in year one of the LeBron show in Hollywood and have dealt with numerous injuries including a groin injury to LBJ. The first has typically been a transitional year when Bron has changed teams in the past, but he does not have many of those left. They have the horses to make the playoffs but will need to get things together because their remaining schedule is the ninth-toughest with games against the Golden State Warriors, Toronto Raptors, and two against the Bucks. If they make it and catch the Dubs early in the postseason things could get interesting.
LeBron says he has 'activated' his playoff intensity earlier than usual with Lakers currently 10th in West, per @Baxter pic.twitter.com/JffwEhgsuf
Indiana Pacers star Victor Oladipo ruptured his quad at the end of January but the team had won six straight before losing to the Bucks before the break. Their remaining schedule is the eighth-toughest and has two more road games than home games; notable given their 16-12 record away from Bankers Life Fieldhouse. They are not a team built around a single player, per se. But he was their best player and that matters down the stretch and in the playoffs. Their remaining slate features the Bucks, Warriors, and two apiece against the Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder. All of those could very well be losses.
West Coast Royalty
The Sacramento Kings currently reside in the ninth spot in the West. They made the surprise acquisition of Harrison Barnes and went 6-4 in before the break. They will also face one of the easier schedules the rest of the way. The Los Angeles Clippers (the team currently occupying the eighth-seed) have a slightly easier schedule but the Kings are the more talented group. It has been a long time (13 years) since they have even sniffed the playoffs but this year is a fun story to watch that may get an extended run.
Back East, the Brooklyn Nets are very similar to the Kings. They have been toiling in the doldrums of the league as they recovered from their failed attempt at a super team. They made some shrewd moves and drafted well and now sit sixth in the East. D'Angelo Russell has blossomed and even made his first All-Star appearance as an injury replacement. They are a young team though and that could hurt them down the stretch. They face the third-toughest schedule in the NBA.
Send Me Your Location
Before the break, we had the drama of Anthony Davis trying to fly the coup after the New Orleans Pelicans rebuffed the Lakers offers. The belief was that New Orleans wanted to wait for more potential bidders this summer, namely the Boston Celtics. That decision cost GM Dell Demps his job. While it is understandable after trading for and then losing Boogie Cousins, who was brought in to aid in retaining Davis, how does this help with getting close to fair trade value?
A video surfaced from All-Star weekend of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving spending a lot of time together. The two are friends and Irving even bristled at the notion that a particular clip constituted any basis for hints at the pair teaming up on the New York Knicks. Irving may not want to entertain the potential team-up, but it will not stop the rumor mill from swirling. Some of it is certainly noise, but both stars have given somewhat vague answers regarding their futures. Again, that is their prerogative. Irving's response was even Durant-like in its defiance.
"I'm not willing to sell myself out for (championships)"@Dame_Lillard on why he hasn't left Portland.

Dame's Lane
Damian Lillard recently reiterated he would rather stay with the Portland Trailblazers without a championship than "sell himself out" for one. That is a noble and refreshing take, especially with the current landscape of the Association. This could be a situation where a team has to 'save' Liilard from himself. It is possible he could win a championship in Portland, but his current team's roster does not stack up well against the rest of the continuing teams. It will be interesting to see what happens with Lillard and backcourt mate C.J. McCollum.
Raptors fans had to have been thinking things were looking up when it came to keeping their prized trade-acquisition, Kawhi Leonard. That is until he came out with this during this past weekend's festivities. It highlights a fundamental snag in their plan from the start. He is from California and has been determined to get to L.A. or bust. That may be the Lakers with LeBron, it may be to the Clippers with KD. Whatever the case Leonard is not a fan of snow and Canada won't be getting rid of winter anytime soon.
Let the NBA's Second Act Commence
No one knows how the second half of the season will unfold. You can bet it will be full of surprises and upsets but please hold the injuries, basketball gods. That way we can focus on if one of the favorites wins MVP, who makes the playoffs and who misses, and where will all the pieces land when the dust settles after free agency this offseason.

Q: как создать n количество переменных в цикле есть цикл
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int n;
cin >> n;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++){
    int a;
}

Но проблема в том, что создаётся одна и та же переменная, а необходимо присваивать им разные названия. Подскажите пожалуйста

A: Никак. Когда переменная выходит из области видимости(цикла), она уничтожается.
Самый оптимальный вариант - создать динамический массив на куче. int* arr = new int[n];. Создаем указатель на int, под который выделяем через оператор new n ячеек.
Можно и статический, но тогда нужно будет компилятору знать размер массива во время компиляции, то есть, вы не сможете написать такое int arr[n], так как n не константа. Тогда надо будет создавать количество элементов заранее, например - на сто ячеек(на запас). Но так не стоит делать.

China Ministry of Railways
China is building an unprecedented high-speed rail system that is expected to exceed 30,500 kilometers (19,000 miles) by 2020.

A unique three-dimensional map of the Milky Way
The map provides insights into the structure and history of our Galaxy.
The Milky Way is a large barred spiral galaxy. All the stars we see in the night sky are in our own Milky Way Galaxy. Our galaxy is called the Milky Way because it appears as a milky band of light in the sky when you see it in a really dark area.
The present learning about the state of the Milky Way disk depends on different tracers, (for example, star counts or radio perceptions of gas molecules) informed by the extrapolation of structures seen in different galaxies. In any case, the separations to these tracers are estimated in a roundabout way and are model-dependent. The most powerful strategy for contemplating the state of the Milky Way is legitimately measured distances to a large sample of stars of a particular sort, which would enable one to build the three-dimensional map of the Galaxy.
Cepheid variable stars are ideal for this task. Cepheids are young pulsating supergiants, their splendor changes in a regular pattern with a well-characterized period which may run from hours to several dozen days.
Cepheids follow a relation between their pulsation period and radiance, permitting the intrinsic glow of a Cepheid to be construed from its period. The separation would then be able to be controlled by contrasting the apparent and inherent brightness.
The presence of interstellar dust and gas causes additional difficulty that may dim the brightness of a Cepheid.
To create a new three-dimensional map of the Milky Way, scientists used a sample of over 2,400 Cepheids, the majority of which have been newly identified in the photometric data collected by the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) survey. It is the first map that is based on direct distances to thousands of individual objects as distant as the expected boundary of the Galactic disk.
The mao demonstrates that the Milky Way circle isn't flat, instead, it is warped at distances more prominent than 25,000 light-years from the Galactic center.
Przemek Mróz, a graduate student at the University of Warsaw said, "Warping of the Galactic disk has been detected before, but this is the first time we can use individual objects to trace its shape in three dimensions. Stars in the outer parts of the Milky Way disk may be displaced from the Galactic plane by 4,500 light-years relative to the central regions of the Galaxy. Warping may have been caused by interactions with satellite galaxies, intergalactic gas, or dark matter."
The galactic disk's thickness varies with increasing distance from the Galactic center.
Dr. Jan Skowron, the coauthor of the study said, "Cepheids' age can be determined based on their pulsation periods which has allowed astronomers to perform an age tomography of the Milky Way. The youngest Cepheids are located near the Galactic center, while the eldest – near the Milky Way's edge."
"We found many elongated substructures in the disk composed of stars of similar age. This indicates that Cepheids located there must have formed around the same time in one of the spiral arms. However, Cepheids that were formed in a spiral arm do not currently follow the exact location of that arm, because rotation velocities of spiral arms and stars are slightly different."
"The simulated and observed structures are strikingly similar. This shows that our idea about the recent history of the Galactic disk is plausible and can explain the structures we see."

Inle Lake, located in the heart of Shan State and surrounded by two mountain ranges, is one of the highest lakes with an elevation of 900 meters. It is the second largest freshwater lake of Myanmar. With regards to weather comparison between Inle Lake and others places in Myanmar, the air is a bit cooler and drier. The best time to visit Inle is from September to October, when the Festivals of Ceremonial Hpaung Daw U or Thadingyut held. It ranks in top five of most visited attractions in Myanmar. In Inle Lake, you are closest to beautiful and picturesque scenery of floating vegetable and flower gardens, colorful floating daily market. In addition, it can be organized trips to visit some of the ethnic villages alongside the lake and the visitors will get the sincere experience with locals. Another great reason why Inle Lake attracts tourists is the sacred land of ancient pagodas. The most magnificent pagodas found here are Phaungdawoo Pagoda, Shwe Indein Pagoda and Alodaw Pauk Pagoda… All are make your vacation in Myanmar is worthwhile and memorable.
The Alodaw Pauk Pagoda, one of the 84.000 pagodas built by the famous king Thiri Dhamma Thawka, is a famous spot in Inle Lake.
The villages of Inle Lake are wonderfully picturesque. The Inthas live on the bank of the lake, and even build houses on water. Besides fishing, locals grow vegetables, fruits and flowers in large gardens on long strips of floating land. Like many floating market in South East Asia, Inle Floating market, has become a tourist place now.
Built on stilts over the lake at the end of the 1850s is the beautiful wooden Nga Phe Kyaung, the biggest and oldest monastery of Inle Lake.
"Nyaung Oak" means a group of Banyan trees. Nyaung Oak is not a single structure, it's a group of pagodas found immediately behind the village.
Phaungdawoo Pagoda Festival is the most important event in Inle Lake. It is also the most important religious festival in southern Shan State.
Shwe Indein Pagoda, which was built in the 17th and 18th century, is situated at the end of the Indein creek. It is the place where visitors can find a Buddha image enshrined in a whitewashed stupa on the summit of a hill. Around there is a cluster of ancient stupas, most of which are ruins.
