    Exactly. We have not said one false thing about James this year. He is playing awful selfish basketball.

    My post history speaks for its self. He can go back and check it out. Love James but I’m
    not going to not call him out when he clearly is coasting out there.

    Another ugly ass win, but at least they won. Harden still isn't right but he didn't entirely camp out at the 3 and chuck every single time and Russ had some really key energy plays that were critical. OKC aren't as bad as the press was making them out to be, but on a b2b you'd think we would have beaten them more handily. Let's hope they get their shooting woes figured out SOON !

    An ugly win, but it’s a win nonetheless.

    The good:

    P.J. Tucker’s shooting. The Rockets realized they were cold from three and attacked the basket in the second and third quarters. James Harden made a couple of very nice plays off the ball, and I hope to see more of that. Russell Westbrook’s hustle to get a big offensive rebound and the presence of mind to find Tucker in the short corner for a huge three late in the game.

    The bad:

    Three-point shooting. Only Tucker was hitting consistently from three tonight. Defensive intensity in the first half. The Rockets have to stop playing hard only in spurts. Rebounding. At one point, the Thunder were rebounding 40% of their misses in the game.

    hes just missing shots, the best scorer in the NBA needs to shoot, thats all there is to it. And when he gets his shot back thatll open everything.

    Harden is even hated by his own fans.

    I just hope the Rockets shooting progresses to the means sooner rather than later.

    He isn’t just missing shots. He is taking TERRIBLE shots. When other guys on his team are moving and creating he is going thru his motions casually. It’s a problem.

    No, I think you don't realize how rose rose colored your glasses are when discussing Harden. 90% of my posts last season was praising Harden. I continuously was defending him and hyping him up.to be the MVP over Gainnis last season.

    2-1 looks good even though we are not clicking from three. Our backcourt is awesome, probably no other backcourt in the comp can boast both players who can rebound and playmake like Harden and Westbrook can

    Only Coach Kerr and the STACKED Warriors had a better record than us
    during MDA's tenure with the Rockets.
    And THAT's about to change. Worriers are going to be VERY pedestrian this year.

    Do be sad. Harden is freaking weird. One of Harden good friends, KD didn't speak to Harden for over year just because he was on another team. I think Harden is just a strange guy.

    People just flat.out ignore all the times I've praised Harden. They want me to 24/7 nut hug him. It's frustrating.

    His play had fallen off from his historic run last year but he’s still dropping 40 and making plays for teammates.

    It’s game 3 give him some time to work himself into shape. You can’t be lazy and score and assist on that many points.

    7 assists 40 pts on 21 shots
    tucker may have been 5/7 from three
    but everyone else 2/23

    this was a loss if those other guys launched more missed threes

    hating. sad.
