    Most devastating offensive player of all time = 18 shots.

    One of the worst of all time = 30+ shots.

    Just flat out dumb basketball.

    Harden should cut after the double, and get the ball back against an unbalanced defense.

    But hey...that is an adjustment that our coach is not interested in emphasizing.

    Hope those Harden fanboys can find more excuse why he is putting his own team to play 4v5.

    My goodness. The best offensive player in the league didn't even touch the ball!
    What is this? Why is he just standing there?
    I refuse to defend him at this point.

    He didn’t extend his rotation

    Playing guys 2 min , 6 min doesn’t count .

    You can say he extended his rotation when PJ isn’t playing 40 ****ing minutes per game.

    Yes the execution could have been way better . I do blame the players for that . I don’t think everything is MDAs fault ... I just think a lot of it is . Russ has a bad game it happens , Clint had a bad game . But in Clint’s case you could very strongly argue that part of the reason he had a bad game is that he’s banged up... and he happened to play 40 minutes last game WHILE ALREADY BANGED UP.

    MDA is at the root of a lot of these problems because he isnt developing a bench , isn’t managing for the long haul , and doesn’t give a **** about defense

    i hear you but... after missing 3 dozen wide open 3's at some point the head coach needs to make an adjustment. run PnR? set up some plays for screens for midrange J's? give & go backdoor? he is SOOO F'N STUBBORN he literally never changes anything in-game. we will never win a title w/ this guy.

    Sure they missed some wide open shots, but there were plenty of bad shots that came from the double also. It's just not a sustainable offense. You want by far your best all time great scorer to get more than 16 shot attempts. There are ways for a player who gets doubled on ball in iso situation s to get get looks outside of bringing the ball up the court and isoing.

    We need Harden to take more than 16 shot attempts and he needs to figure out a way to get attempts when they decide to double him on isos. A way of doing that is movement off ball where he runs around screens along with cuts to the rim.
