    They were slower because of old man Paul

    Oh no question. Their players saw the nationally televized game yesterday. They are hell bent on beating us. Need to match their intensity to win this game.

    What are you talking on about? They're literally hanging on to Harden as soon as they double team him. We're also getting wide open 3pt shots from those Harden double teams..... we're just missing too many wide open looks.

    Don't put this on Harden. He's getting his teammates open.... they need to take advantage of it.

    The guys you should be blaming are inconsistent shooters like Gordon, House and Tucker this season.

    I hate games where everyone is off from 3. Dear god it'd be SO different if ONE other person was hitting besides Harden. We literally could've stolen the lead in 1 qtr after being down 22, but instead back to 10.

    Dont get me wrong... getting back to 10 is solid from where it was, but watching pros brick so many open shots is just surreal.

    Back in the game. I would like Eric Gordon to find his stroke. The shots will be there in the 2nd half.

    they didn't close the half but regardless they won that quarter and got back in the game

    cut the lead down to at least 2 by the 4th and we can steal this one

    just win the quarter at worse

    And if this is the way we play, just waive Tyson Chandler and hope someone will pick him up.

    Why waste a spot and Tilman’s lunch money?

    Tyson will not be able to keep up this kind of pace and will end his career 5 minutes into the game.

    There are idiots out there don’t understand why other teams need to go small with the Rox, because their centers won’t survive in this kind of game just by running back and forth.

    This where I still hate MDA, watch him not expand the rotation even with guys missing!

    Neither are the strengths of Harden.

    Yes you can rely on Russ to play such style, but without Harden to share the ball, he is not going to last either.

    3/8 for Covington, 1/5 for Tucker, 1/5 for House, 1/5 for Gordon and 1/5 for Rivers.... and you guys want to put the blame on Harden?

    Hopefully Harden puts in a trade request in the summer so you guys get your wish of us playing exciting basketball but losing half our games.

    He isn't the only one. It's the same every single time. When we're losing, they immediately put the blame on Harden.

    Do you understand who controls the tempo of the game? Or the only thing you know about NBA is from playing 2K?
