    Not when he's the 3rd highest-paid player on the roster and teams are committed to taking Harden out of the game. Clint needs to dominate down low for most of the game. For stretches, he looked good..but that isn't good enough.

    Bro...why are you relying on one plus 39 game against a trash Timberwolves team? Its fine I want Harty playing more....but now your just advocating for random scrubs to come and save us.

    Yea me too

    House first in line
    But Gordon should be added we can at least get someone decent.

    Even Capela, we should trade him while we can’t. He still can’t defend someone that is his size. Also he hasn’t improve one bit on not going for every single attempt at a block. He leaves the other center wide open. Always tries to cover and switch into the smaller guy. Even though it always works against us.

    like you said everyone but Russ and Harden. If we can keep Rivers because of the cheap contract and maybe Hartenstein Clemons and Ben. I believe Pj is contract is decent too. But he wants a bigger pay.

    Trev just went to Portland I believe, I doubt he's an option.

    I would love to see Lebron getting double teamed from the half court like Harden has been. He'd start crying with frustration. And that's what we should have done.... if we had a decent coach.

    If the Lakers allowed Harden to do what he wanted like we did with Lebron, Harden would have dropped 50 plus and we would have won the game. This just proves that we're a one man team and we're easy to beat if you double team Harden.

    Capela not being able to score on Kuzma downlow is def a season lowlight.

    And every good play James makes, he makes the same boneheaded mistakes Russ makes. You know as a Rocket fan how many dumbass things I’ve watch James do? James has been terrible as of late. You keep lying to yourself though my man. Lmaooo

    @fchowd0311 Will trading Harden make you happy ??? Apparently he is the only one underperforming lately by your logic.

    well, I had a good time at the game during the 1st half at least

    MVP chants for Bron at TC hurt my soul...the place was flooded with Laker fans

    Rockets out here building entire new civilizations with their bricks...Rockets have no snipers on the team, but insist on jacking up threes at every opportunity, and the shot selection of this team is dumb as hell

    Yep!
    Westbrook had 22pts at halftime, finished with 35pts....scored 13pts in the second half.
    Harden had 17 pts at halftime, finished with 34 pts....scored 17 pts in the second half.

    Yea, but he's still provides better offense than Russ, do you know how many WIDE OPEN threes Harden gets us just from standing at Half court??? I know Harden can do really dumb stuff, but he is clearly the best player on this team is the number one threat every night. Now people are getting mad cause hes gotten cold(or i donno what) cause he cant carry this sub par cast.

    LeB0rn redeemed himself with the playmaking.

    Because he’s part of the problem as well. I don’t know what kind of sport fan you are but I’m not letting anyone get a pass, not even James. He’s a fault like everyone else. James is clearly our best player but he hasn’t been playing like it.
