    Loss is 100 percent on Harden. I was merely pointing out the absurdity of that possession and how it reflects how bad this team is playing right now.

    Looks like Harden is regressing HARD to the mean. He did seem to be playing somewhat over his head for a good long stretch there.

    People get fired, hopefully Tilman sells the team to a more competent owner (will never happen anytime soon but one can only hope)

    Tilman will probably just scapegoat a bunch of people like he did last year and tell the media how he'll pay anything to win a ring! :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Where was EG in the last quarter...oh yeah, sitting on the bench. Take useless House out in the fourth and put EG in. That way you have 3 drivers to the paint and two usually good 3 pt shooters with EG and Harden.

    Because our stupid coach doesn't stop that BS. I mean, that is surely a Rockets record low for taking 17 3's.

    He reminds me of 12 year olds online spamming 3s in 2K triple covered. What a child.

    Harden was bad in the fourth. Make NO MISTAKE about that
    He got some shitty hardluck calls
    But
    His shooting has been terrible . . . what the f*ck happened?
    I mean seriously .. . he is missing open shots now

    Like he got no legs or something

    THAT SAID. DanAndToni - really should have done something.
    A time out with less than 30 seconds to go . . .. calm your squad down
    design a play

    Do we every play the go for 2 and then foul game and hope for misses?? ever?
    I think I would prefer Hartenstein on Gallanari
    but hell. . .why play a 7 footer when their 7 footer monster is out of the game

    no my friends. . there is PLENTY of blame to go around

    Its not like they were going to finally get past the warriors this year...oh.. wait.
    This could have been their year. Why did Harden have to accelerate his career slide THIS year? Just one more year of good harden...

    I don't believe how we found a way to lose this game too.

    We need some kind of scandal.

    If anyone knows about Tilman grabbing butts of his female employees it's time to speak up.

    To get to the playoffs you have to win games. We've been totally trash in the last 11 games or so. We've lost to the Warriors, Pelicans, Grizzlies, Trail Brazers, OKC twice, and we should have lost to the Hawks.... all teams that won't even challenge the other top teams. We have much tougher games coming up.

    If Harden doesn't turn up, we don't win games. I don't care if Westbrook drops 30 plus or not.... him simply only taking 2pt shots isn't enough. I am not blaming Westbrook.... he's been great. It's just without Harden's 3pt makes and whatnot, we're not going to get the required points to win games. Simply because our defense and supporting cast is truly awful.

    It looks like we’ll be fighting for the 8-7 spot.
    Preferably 7th.
    Hold on tight its going to be a bumpy ride.

    Harden and Westbrook on the floor is just bad defense. Like if a team makes the extra pass, between them two they will not rotate after the extra pass and their will be a effortless open shot on the perimter without no real close out. It’s been a big issue during this spell. It’s like they expect the role players to jsut put i the effort effort on defense for them. This is where we miss the leadership of cp3

    Wrong!
    If we had a smart playmaker. Paul is not a smart playmaker. Neither is Mr. Landry's Fertita.

    Damn...Harden is a God offensively but when he's struggling, he's garbage. 1-17 from 3? 21-91 in the past 7 games...

    Tilman would only be forced to sell if he sexually assaulted an employee or say some really racist things on recording.

    Lmao turned the game off when we were up big in the 3rd to do some daddy duties. Did not see a loss incoming.

    What a crappy team.
