    Harden mentally is not in it. Hasn’t been for awhile. No idea what’s going on with him.

    take House out. He is playing like a chicken without head. Play Carroll more.

    This is going to be tough.

    Because D’Antoni went to back to the starters. The bench brought energy and cut the deficit.

    Your feelings are getting too hurt over this pathetic effort bro, relax.

    You should only invest effort in the team when they do themselves, you'll live a healthier life.

    McLemore used to be our best shooter but he's gone really off the boil the last 3 or 4 games. House is just not good enough. He offers nothing on defensive and offensive end. Rivers is so inconsistent. Tucker is good on the defensive end, but he offers nothing on the offensive end. Covington is good on both ends.

    We have by far the worst supporting cast in the league. Besides Covington, Harden and Westbrook, we have no players who can create or score on a consistent basis.

    And why the hell are starting games so slowly for? Poor first half games against the Celtics, Knicks, Clippers and Hornets. If you keep giving a team a 15 to 20 point, you have no chance.

    Whatever James had that made him the baddest offensive player in the game is gone right now. Whatever Mike D'Antoni had that made people consider him one of the great offensive minds of all time? That's gone, too.

    Harden is so irritating to watch. Such a ballhog. Rockets should trade him for a pure sg (Beal, booker, etc). I think this is Westbrook team now.

    Maybe someone gave him the memo that the NBA has rigged the game for Lakers to win the championship, combined with the fact that he's out of the running for MVP, has killed any motivation for him to try at all. So he has drowned his sorrows in booze and strippers.

    Harden needs a pick and roll big man desperately and its not even funny. If an average Joe like me can notice that then I know for darn sure the coaches see that. The fact that they aren't even trying that shows its out of pure stubbornness to the small ball and shoot every single three plan, its so frustrating as a fan to watch crap like this.

    Green and DMC played well should have kept them in the game even if they were making mistakes. Harden and PJ are not playing well.

    Harden comes in and the Hornets defense is content with stopping him. Everyone on the Rockets are scared to play basketball frantically trying to get the ball back to Harden..

    BMAC better not be starting next half. Start Green or DMC or both.

    24 minutes of basketball, 6 minutes of effort. But weren't those six minutes nice?
