    Rivers, Tucker, House...shooting 3s is the most painful thing ever ... including EG shooting 40ft 3s 5 seconds into shot clock

    That 5 day layoff followed by a slew of back to backs has really hurt this team. We are so out of sync this is beyond ridiculous. Daniel and PJ still giving us nothing and James just doesn't seem into it, and dantoni has gone back to small ball. Wtf is going on ?

    There is something wrong with Harden....he hasn't been his self since 3 games ago. Tonight he has shot 6 shots for a whole half. (2/6) The Dream would be off for a few games before it came out that he was playing while injured. I think Harden is doing the same.

    Harden has 8pts. Westbrook has 16pts.

    Another losing team beating the Rockets, at home. Does this look like a team that is going to the finals? Even Melo is scoring against one of the worst defenses in the nba. Same old song second verse, could get better, but probably get worse.

    Maybe Dantoni should do more shoot arounds and practices.

    Nobody besides Westbrook is. Team sucks. It is what it is.

    That's every team's game plan. Make Westbrook into Houston's star and you'll win. Going well for Portland now. They know all about beating a Westbrook team.

    I’d like to see Harden curl around a screen get a pass from WB and shoot like Klay does all the time.

    Instead it’s just walk it up, pound the rock and jack it up.

    It works for awhile and then in the playoffs it doesn’t. Harden looks like he is in playoffs form already.

    Terrible half.

    What happened to Tucker and House's 3 point shot??? It's been gone for quite some time now. It's
    Rubbing off on PJ.

    Rivers looks bad with a case of the butterfingers.

    When they got Westbrook they should have fired Dantoni and hired a coach that has a system that makes sense for the team.

    When will it be acceptable to question Hardens leadership? Not skill. I'm talking his ability to lead a team and set an example?

    It's just frustrating for james...naturally the guy shot 37 attempts last time and that was what I even thought was excessive. Today he has 6 shots with wide ass open attempts for EG, House, Rivers, Maclemore and from what it seems they are 4-50

    Losing to Caramelo would be worse than any regular season loss besides losing to LeBron. They better pick their **** up.

    There is a chance that they're just trying to get MDA fired. I think they're underestimating the level of cheap Papa is at.
