May not work also doesn't equal missing the playoffs. Not working can be 5th seed and 1st round knockout.
I don't see any way they miss the playoffs unless Harden gets hurt for a long period of time.
True, and as I posted, I see them as a 4-5 seed and not making it out of the 2nd round.
But I'm not going to ignore the fact that you have 2 of the most notorious stat chasers in league history playing on the same team and think that there's no way this will blow up on them.
