It’s crazy how committed the lakers are to trapping and getting the ball out of hardens hands at all costs. there giving up wide open corner threes to get the ball out of hardens hands even when he’s doing nothing.
If the offense gets stagnant (James) and guys stop hitting their open shots small ball will be a disaster
Gonna be really sad if this game comes down to a few Scott Foster malicious calls and James Harden passivity. I've seen that movie too many times.
3 and a half quarters into this nonsensical "no-big man" experiment and I'm already fed up with Morey and D'Antoni.
Yeah, we've held the lead pretty much all game against the #1 seed with an undersized team and our coach sucks? I'm beginning to think it's YOU. . . .
Can't put this on James. His gravity is generating open looks for shooters. Guys just need to hit shots. Some of these last shots just haven't even been close.
Man its like yall dont realize harden is getting doubled when he gets the ball. Westbrook is taking advantage and slashing but when he sits no one else is around to do that. Maybe Ego but his handles arent great. But I guess just sh*t on Harden thats cool too.
Harden checks in and Lakers go on a 7-0 run! I don’t understand the ball movement when Harden is consistently getting double teamed. Someone should be wide open for 3s but keep getting contested instead. Harden needs to do better on this front.
Harden is trying to do the “right thing” by passing out of the double team. It’s completely taking him out of the game though.
