    I want the streak to end, he is taking too many shots, IMO and it is causing others to have less opportunity and get rusty when we need them.

    Teams are double teaming Harden and he seems to hold it now more often than he used to...one of the reasons that double teams don't work is his passing, to they EYE it looks like he is trying too hard to get his points, and should cycle the ball around more....for the good of the team.

    We need to get back to team ball.

    Who else can step up and score? In the end Harden is Rockets's most efficient offensive weapon. He should take the most shots.

    Posted in the game thread...

    The 30 point game stretch has now reached 24 games. Tonight his true shooting sucked ass. Barely over 50% and brought his season long TS% down to 61.8%

    Over the last 23 games prior to tonight Harden had a TS% of 62.8%. The warriors as a team lead the league and are at 59.8%

    This streak has RAISED his efficiency, his net rating and our record.

    Cockroaches coming out of woodwork after a loss take.

    Harden is not the issue, the rest of the team needs to rebound and get stops - especially at end of tight games.

    Harden is team leader in points, assists, rebounds and steals. Harden is reason Rockets are top 5 in West and under taking this historic run is outcome of having to carry team every game.

    He should pass the ball when and trust his teamates like Chris, EG and even Rivers to make plays when Harden getting doubled!! It's just too predictable

    Yup is just like the season Russell won mvp harden was at times talking too many shots or felt like he was. He is shooting way to many 3s instead of driving to the paint to score or to pass. Especially when he misses 15 out of 20. I think 12-13 attempts is fine but over that only if he is hot and making them. Also it seems it is taking a toll on him, his 3s aren’t falling like a couple games ago and he seems to go slower on offense. He just dail back a bit and not shoot so many 3s.
    In fact everyone else should stop jacking up 3s like Eric and Green do. If they are open take it but not if they are unbalanced and or hesitated when they were open. Also Tucker needs to shoot it when he is open.

    I haven’t seen Harden switch to the centers or switch as much this season.

    Still guys need to make wide open shots like wide open and they still brick it.

    I’m also getting frustrated with how lost Eric is playing. Those drives to the basket and then not knowing what to do. Lately when Eric touches the ball, it feels like it will be a turn over or a brick.

    When CP 3 was injured Harden had to do it all, he doesn't now, he needs to adjust.

    That is my point, he can be better by shooting less and passing more, and the team will benefit.

    We got to calm down. This was a bad loss but its a great thing we lost this way now because the pressure is on MDA to better position the team to win despite the adjustments other teams make on James. Now nothing has worked so far except this doubling at the top on James. We don't want to be surprised by this strategy in case something happens to Capela again in the playoffs. New Orleans did the exact same thing that the Sixers did. If we solve this problem we will have them. To Me we need Pj or Faried to drop back in the middle when the double teams occur and put our best shooters CP3 EG and Gerald Green in the Corners

    Harden has other odd quirks that I will never understand such as purposefully driving into the corner and trapping himself on so many possessions. It's as if he wants to get doubled.

    We didn't lose because of shooting though Harden didn't shoot as well as he normally does. We lost because our only real post defender against real bigs is out with a broken thumb. I love what Faried brings to the table but he can not cover old school bigs where Capela can. Nene played his age last night also.

    This is true we are too damned short as a roster.
